Research involving Design, Innovation and Invention Experiences for Teachers (Research DIIET)

该奖项提供资金为3年的持续奖励，以支持研究经验的教师（RET）在工程现场计划在马里兰州（UMD）大学公园与弗吉尼亚大学（UVA）的合作伙伴关系，题为“研究涉及设计，创新和发明经验的教师（研究DIIET），”博士的指导下。 这研究经验的教师（RET）在工程现场涉及一个严格的为期六周的夏季研究计划的主动学习活动，共39初中和高中科学教师，每年13个在UMD和UVA校园三年。 该计划还包括一个学年行动研究项目。这些教师将从蒙哥马利县、马里兰州公立学校系统、弗吉尼亚州的丹维尔和匹兹堡公立学校以及华盛顿特区的友谊公立特许学校招聘。教师将探索“创新的抽象概念”-从基础科学发现到应用产品开发，并将创建课堂模块。

This award provides funding for a 3 year continuing award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at the University of Maryland (UMD)College Park in partnership with the University of Virginia (UVA) entitled, "Research involving Design, Innovation and Invention Experiences for Teachers (Research DIIET)," under the direction of Dr. Leigh Abts. This Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site involves a rigorous six-week summer research schedule of active learning activities for a total of 39 middle and high school science teachers,13 each year for three years at both the UMD and the UVA campuses. The program also includes an academic year action research project. The teachers will be recruited from the Montgomery County, Maryland Public School System, the Danville and Pittsylvania Public Schools in Virginia and the Washington D.C. Friendship Public Charter School. The teachers will explore the 'abstract notion of innovation'-from basic scientific discovery to applied product development and will create classroom modules.
