IPY: Adapting SENCER to the Arctic. Improving Polar Science Education as a Legacy

地球系统科学（40）该项目是适应在北极使用的科学课程交付的最佳实践的基础上，从美国国家科学基金会资助的研究结果，在科学教育的新公民参与和责任计划，通过创建课程“环境放射性，管理和人民在北方。“这门课程是对核化学的跨学科探索，探讨了在北极圈的文化和地缘政治背景下放射性的使用。 学生们正在调查核武器发展对阿留申人的影响以及北极地区核能的未来发展。 学生们正在学习最先进的核化学和健康概念，他们正在发现核发展与人和土地的交叉点。 这种基于情境的方法显示了利用公民参与激发学生创造性思维的智力优势。 该项目的一个更广泛的影响是利用这一模式来调整其他课程，这些课程将侧重于北方自然资源和能源的利用，这些主题已知会引起北极土著人民和学生的兴趣。 这门课程是扩大科学课程提供给北极学生。

Earth Systems Science (40)This project is adapting for use in the Arctic the best practices for science course delivery based on results from NSF funded research in the Science Education for New Civic Engagements and Responsibilities Program by creating the course 'Environmental Radioactivity, Stewardship and People in the North.' This course is an interdisciplinary exploration of nuclear chemistry which explores use of radioactivity in the cultural and geopolitical context of the circumpolar north. The impact of nuclear weapons development on the Aleuts and the future development of nuclear power in the Arctic are being investigated by the students. Students are learning state-of-the-art nuclear chemistry and health concepts and they are discovering where nuclear development intersects with people and the land. This context-based approach shows the intellectual merit in using civic engagement to stimulate creative thinking by students. A broader impact of this project is use of the model to adapt other courses which will focus on use of northern natural resources and energy, topics known to engage the interest of arctic indigenous people and students. This course is expanding the science courses available to UARCTIC students.
