Workshop on Data Access and Usability in Education; Los Alamos Research Park, Los Alamos, New Mexico

在这次讲习班上，与会者将审查小型工作组就促进在教育中更有效地获取和使用地球和空间科学数据的各个方面提出的建议，并就以下问题提出建议：1）对能够促进科学家和教育工作者合作开发地球和空间科学数据的教育用途的在线知识共享区有哪些要求; 2）地球和空间科学数据网站的审查标准是什么，可用于确定教育界是否可以充分访问和使用数据集以推荐其使用;以及3）除了科学元数据之外，地球科学数据网站将使它们可供教育界使用。 这次研讨会提出的建议将对科学界和教育界作出宝贵贡献，因为这将有助于提供一个框架，使这两个群体能够共同努力，真正实现研究与教育的一体化。 科学界将更清楚地了解促进在教育中使用其数据和科学成果意味着什么，以及这将如何帮助他们在研究提案中满足更广泛影响的要求。 教育界将获得各种机制，以帮助他们利用地球和空间科学数据开发教育资源。 这一努力的更广泛影响是相当广泛的。 教育界最终将能更好地利用地球和空间科学数据，并有能力了解如何利用这些数据作为有效工具，帮助学生学习他们必须学习的科学概念。 此外，这次讲习班的成果将建立一个框架，使教育界能够利用其他学科的科学数据。 最终，它将导致一个更科学的学生群体，其中许多人可能会成为未来的地球科学家。

In this workshop the participants will review recommendations from smaller working groups concerning various aspects of enabling more effective access and use of Earth and space science data in education and provide recommendations concerning the issues: 1) what are the requirements for an online intellectual commons area that can facilitate the collaboration of scientists and educators to develop educational uses of Earth and space science data; 2) what are the review criteria for Earth and space science data sites that can be used to establish whether a dataset is sufficiently accessible and usable by the educational community to recommend its use; and 3) what are the educational metadata that should be required, in addition to the scientific metadata, that should accompany and Earth science data sites that will make them discoverable and usable by the educational community. The recommendations coming from this workshop will be a valuable contribution to both the scientific and educational communities in that will help provide a framework from which these two communities can work together to truly establish an integration of research and education. The scientific community will have a clearer picture of what it means to facilitate the use of their data and scientific results in education, and how that will help them satisfy the Broader Impacts requirement in their research proposals. The educational community will gain mechanisms to use to help them develop educational resources using Earth and space science data. The broader impacts of this effort are quite wide reaching. The educational community will eventually obtain better access to Earth and space science data and an ability to see how to make the use of that data an effective tool for helping their students learn the scientific concepts they are required to study. In addition, the outcomes of this workshop will establish a framework that will enable the use of scientific data from other disciplines by the educational community. Ultimately, it will lead to a more scientifically literate student body, many of whom may go on to become the Earth scientists of the future.
