Conference: The African Diaspora: Developing Black Scholars in Science Education for the 21st Century in the United States

该提案寻求对会议/专题讨论会赠款的支持，以便为从事科学教育的非裔美国教师提供一个机会，与他们的学术同事进行互动，并提高他们对科学教育中正在进行的研究的了解。它建议召开一次会议/专题讨论会，培养一支非洲裔美国人科学教育师资队伍，研究围绕科学教学的问题。这支非洲裔美国教师队伍将制定研究议程，提交资助提案，并提交手稿供出版。该项目的总体目标是通过美国非裔美国科学教育工作者的研究奖学金的教师发展来改善K-12的教学和学习。

This proposal seeks support for a conference/symposium grant to provide an opportunity for African American faculty members in science education to interact with their academic colleagues and enhance their knowledge of research being pursued in science education. It proposes to convene a conference/symposium to develop a cadre of African American science education faculty to research issues surrounding the teaching and learning of science. This cadre of African American faculty will develop a research agenda, submit grant proposals for funding, and submit manuscripts for publication. The overall goal of this project is to improve K-12 teaching and learning by faculty development of the research scholarship of African American science educators in the United States.
