Educational researchers from SRI International and geoscientists from the University of Washington (UW) are engaging American Indian high school and college students from the Puget Sound region of Washington State in the geosciences through place-based field work, while exploring models for developing data literacy and enhancing quantitative reasoning skills by connecting abstract representations of place-based spatio-temporal data with inquiry tasks. Employing curriculum and assessment methods developed by SRI, the team is developing and piloting problem-based, inquiry-oriented curriculum modules about the environmental history of the Washington State Puget Sound region and about what implications the history has for the American Indian communities in the region. The Data-driven Inquiry in Geoscience Environmental Restoration Studies (DIGERS) modules are using data collected by the UW team for the Puget Sound Regional Synthesis Model (PRISM) and Puget Sound River History Project. The modules will be pilot-tested in a new undergraduate environmental history course at UW and in science classes in high schools serving American Indian students in Seattle and Puget Sound tribal communities. The curriculum modules will consist of problem-based units and performance assessments centered on student use of the UW data, plus accompanying geographic visualizations and other representations. DIGERS will provide the UW geoscientists with the opportunity to demonstrate to the regional tribes that their research, some of which has been funded by Puget Sound tribes, can be used in the service of the American Indian youths? STEM education in addition to use by tribal agencies in resource restoration and management. DIGERS will provide adaptable and publically available designs of data-centered geoscience inquiry tasks that can support future development of high school and undergraduate-level curricula. In addition, the project will contribute to the knowledge base about how students can become more engaged and more skilled in geoscience inquiry and data analysis and what variations in educational supports and expectations should exist to build successful experiences for the students with the materials.

来自华盛顿大学（UW）的SRI International和地球科学家的教育研究人员正在通过基于场所的现场工作吸引来自华盛顿州Puget Sound地区的美洲印第安人高中和大学生，同时探索数据素养的模型，并通过将基于基于Spatio-Temporal数据的Spate-Temporal数据的抽象表示来开发数据素养并增强定量推理技能。该团队采用了SRI开发的课程和评估方法，正在开发和试行基于问题的，面向询问的课程模块，内容涉及华盛顿州普吉特州普吉特声音地区的环境历史以及历史对该地区美洲印第安人社区的影响。地球科学环境恢复研究（DIGERS）中的数据驱动的调查使用了UW团队为Puget Sound Sound Regional Synathesis模型（PRISM）和Puget Sound River River历史项目收集的数据。这些模块将在UW的新本科环境历史课程和高中的科学课程中进行试点测试，该课程为西雅图和普吉特海湾部落社区的美洲印第安学生提供服务。课程模块将包括基于问题的单元和绩效评估，该单元和绩效评估以学生使用UW数据以及随附的地理可视化和其他表示形式。挖掘者将为UW地球科学家提供机会向区域部落证明其研究（其中一些是由Puget Sound Tribes资助的）可以用于为美洲印第安人青年服务的吗？ STEM教育除了使用部落机构在资源恢复和管理中使用。挖掘者将提供以数据为中心的地球科学探究任务的适应性和公开可用的设计，这些设计可以支持高中和本科课程的未来发展。此外，该项目将有助于知识基础，即学生如何变得更加参与，更熟练地球科学探究和数据分析，以及在教育支持和期望方面的变化应该存在哪些差异，以为使用材料的学生建立成功的经验。
