PROPOSAL #: 0638684PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Rosemary SmithINSTITUTION: Idaho State UniversityTITLE: GK-12: Enhancing Science Literacy in Southwest Idaho with Community-based Projects and University/K-12 PartnershipsThe GK-12 Enhancing Science Literacy in Southwest Idaho with Community-based Projects and University/K-12 Partnerships, a continuing GK-12 project between eight Idaho K-12 school districts and Idaho State University, focuses on three educational research topics (robotics, watershed and the environment) for middle and high school students. This project builds upon prior success by including additional school districts and also by developing more activities under broader topics. The intellectual merit of the project lies in three main areas: 1) the development of empirical tools to measure and verify the impact of the GK-12 experience upon fellows' communication and partnership skills; 2) the ability to make science "alive" in the K-12 classroom by focusing on topics of local relevance; and 3) the ability of the project to serve as a national model, based on its structure of year-long matches with fellows and K-12 teachers and a flexible format for matching research interests of fellow to the needs of the teacher. This project affects a large, rural area that has an underdeveloped economy. The state is also an EPSCoR state and school districts have fewer comparative resources. There have been significant outcomes from the first phase of this project which include increased teacher content knowledge, ability to meet state standards, and the implementation of inquiry-based learning.

提案编号：0638684首席研究员：Rosemary smith机构：爱达荷州立大学标题：GK-12；通过社区项目和大学/K-12伙伴关系提高爱达荷州西南部的科学素养通过社区项目和大学/K-12伙伴关系提高爱达荷州西南部的科学素养是爱达荷州8个K-12学区和爱达荷州立大学之间的一个持续的GK-12项目，重点关注初中和高中学生的三个教育研究课题（机器人、流域和环境）。该项目在以往成功的基础上，增加了更多的学区，并在更广泛的主题下开展了更多的活动。该项目的智力价值在于三个主要领域：1)开发经验工具来衡量和验证GK-12经验对研究员沟通和伙伴关系技能的影响；2)通过关注与当地相关的主题，使科学在K-12课堂上“活起来”的能力；3)基于其与研究员和K-12教师长达一年的匹配结构，以及将研究员的研究兴趣与教师的需求相匹配的灵活格式，该项目是否能够成为全国模式。该项目影响到经济不发达的广大农村地区。该州也是EPSCoR州，学区的可比资源较少。该项目的第一阶段取得了显著成果，包括增加了教师的内容知识，达到国家标准的能力，以及实施了基于探究的学习。
