OISE-0632109韩国-美国吸引科学和工程天才学生论坛切斯特·范·泰恩科罗拉多矿业学院公共摘要该奖项资助14名美国STEM教育研究人员参加2006年6月28-30日在韩国首尔举行的双边研讨会，讨论吸引有天赋和有天赋的学生进入科学和工程专业的障碍。研讨会的目的是交流对该领域当前研究的看法，并比较两国鼓励年轻学生进入科学和工程职业的教育政策的优点。美国国际矿工联合会是科罗拉多矿业学院的切斯特·范·泰恩教授，韩国的主要组织者是韩国技术教育大学研究生院院长金光善教授。研讨会获得了韩国科学与工程基金会的共同资助。美国和韩国在吸引优秀学生投身科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)职业方面面临着非常相似的挑战，许多国家也是如此。讲习班将比较每种文化背景下的最佳做法研究，并将各国专家聚集在一起，以确定吸引有天赋和有才华的年轻人投身STEM职业的新的和多样化的方法。研讨会将促进新一代学者对这一主题的研究，并为确保未来充足的科学家和工程师供应的政策提供信息。

OISE-0632109Korea-US Forum for Attracting Gifted/Talented Students in Science and EngineeringChester Van TyneColorado School of MinesPublic AbstractThis award funds the participation of fourteen U.S. STEM education researchers to a bilateral workshop June 28-30, 2006 in Seoul, South Korea, to discuss barriers associated with attracting gifted and talented students to science and engineering. The workshop is designed to exchange ideas on current research in the field and compare the merits of educational policies that encourage young students to enter science and engineering careers in each country. The U.S. PI is Professor Chester Van Tyne of the Colorado School of Mines and the lead organizer in Korea is Professor Kwang Sun Kim, Dean of the Graduate School, Korea University of Technology and Education. The workshop has secured co-funding from the Korean Science and Engineering Foundation. The United States and South Korea face very similar challenges, as do many countries, in attracting bright students into science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. The workshop will compare best practices research in each cultural context and bring together experts from each country to identify new and diverse approaches to attracting gifted and talented young people to STEM careers. The workshop will catalyze research on this topic among a new generation of scholars and inform policy for securing an adequate future supply of scientists and engineers.
