PROPOSAL #:0638680PI: Rajesh GanesanINSTITUTION: George Mason UniversityTITLE: Computation New, GK-12 SUNRISE: Schools, University, and Resources in the Sciences and Engineering SUNRISE is a new GK-12 project partnering STEM graduate students from George Mason University with teachers in grades 4-6 from three different school divisions in the state of Virginia. The objective of the project is to build a unique model of collaboration among teachers, school administrators, and the participating university to foster systemic efforts in implementing information technology rich content-knowledge into K-12 education. This is supported through science topics from contemporary areas such as GPS, nanotechnology, and oceanography and is brought into the classroom through lessons with hands-on experiments. The intellectual merit of this project is that creative information technology theme provides participants with a multi-level learning experience that advances knowledge of science topics and fosters professional development. This is achieved by constructing a framework that provides training and exchange of intellectual ideas, and integrates scientific research from diverse disciplines. It provides participants with an opportunity to discover, widen, and deepen knowledge within their own field as well as a mechanism to deliver that knowledge through the GK-12 graduate fellows. The broader impacts of the project include professional development opportunities for Fellows that strengthen their instructional and communication skills. The project offers the potential for sustained growth in quality and quantity of the nation's scientific workforce. The integration of research and education as well as the building of capacity of all the stakeholders offers many excellent possibilities and institutional culture change that transforms K-12 and graduate education. The project also supports the encouragement of diverse populations in the sciences through a focus on fellows and K-12 students from underrepresented populations.

提案编号：0638680 PI：Rajesh Ganesan机构：乔治梅森大学计算新，GK-12日出：学校，大学和资源在科学和工程日出是一个新的GK-12项目合作干研究生从乔治梅森大学与教师在4-6年级从三个不同的学校部门在弗吉尼亚州。该项目的目标是在教师、学校管理人员和参与大学之间建立一个独特的合作模式，以促进在K-12教育中实施信息技术丰富内容知识的系统性努力。 这是通过从当代领域，如全球定位系统，纳米技术和海洋学的科学主题的支持，并通过与动手实验的教训带入课堂。 该项目的智力价值在于，创意信息技术主题为参与者提供了多层次的学习体验，可以提高科学主题的知识并促进专业发展。 这是通过建立一个框架来实现的，该框架提供培训和知识思想交流，并整合来自不同学科的科学研究。 它为参与者提供了一个发现，扩大和深化自己领域知识的机会，以及通过GK-12研究生研究员提供知识的机制。 该项目更广泛的影响包括为研究员提供专业发展机会，加强他们的教学和沟通技能。该项目为国家科学劳动力的质量和数量的持续增长提供了潜力。研究和教育的整合以及所有利益相关者的能力建设提供了许多极好的可能性和机构文化变革，改变了K-12和研究生教育。该项目还支持通过关注来自代表性不足的人群的研究员和K-12学生来鼓励科学领域的不同人群。
