GK-12 project abstractProject title: "Evidence-based inquiry into the distant, remote, or past (EIDRoP): linking evidence to inference in the Kansas science classroom"Investigators: Carolyn J. Ferguson, Timothy Bolton, Srinivas Kambhampati, Iris Moreno Totten and N. Sanjay Rebello (Kansas State University)Much public misunderstanding of science involves misconceptions regarding the types of evidence accepted within scientific disciplines as well as the manner in which scientists move from evidence to inference. Understanding how available data can provide information about objects or events that cannot be directly experienced or manipulated is particularly challenging to students. Through "Evidence-based inquiry into the distant, remote, or past (EIDRoP)", Kansas State University (KSU) graduate fellows in the biological sciences, geosciences and physics will work with mentor teachers at Junction City High School (USD 475) to develop and teach both discipline-specific and interdisciplinary lessons responsive to state standards in science as inquiry and the nature of science. Professional development activities include a Summer Institute, a fellows class and an annual Capstone Meeting. Program goals are to: enhance young scientists' abilities as effective communicators and as educational collaborators; improve science education for grade 9-12 students through the infusion of contemporary science research, an integrated emphasis on nature of science, interdisciplinary teaching modules and provision of scientist role models; enhance the knowledge of grade 9-12 teachers through teacher training, interaction with KSU students and faculty, and curriculum enrichment; strengthen USD 475's partnerships with STEM departments at KSU; and expand collaborative partnerships within KSU and between KSU and K-12 education. EIDRoP will have extensive broader impacts in terms of enhancing education (of fellows, students, teachers and faculty), and will drive a cultural change in science education with respect to interactions between University science departments and K-12 education.

GK-12项目摘要项目名称：“对遥远、遥远或过去的循证调查（EIDRoP）：在堪萨斯科学课堂中将证据与推理联系起来“研究人员：Carolyn J. Ferguson，Timothy博尔顿，Srinivas Kambhampati，Iris Moreno Totten和N. Sanjay Rebello（堪萨斯州立大学）公众对科学的许多误解都涉及对科学学科内接受的证据类型以及科学家从证据到推理的方式的误解。了解可用数据如何提供无法直接体验或操纵的对象或事件的信息对学生来说特别具有挑战性。通过“以证据为基础的调查到遥远的，遥远的，或过去（EIDRoP）"，堪萨斯州立大学（KSU）在生物科学，地球科学和物理学研究生研究员将与导师教师在联合城高中（475美元）开发和教两个学科的具体和跨学科的经验教训，响应国家标准的科学作为调查和科学的性质。专业发展活动包括暑期研究所、研究员课程和年度顶峰会议。方案目标是：提高青年科学家作为有效沟通者和教育合作者的能力;通过注入当代科学研究、综合强调科学的性质、跨学科教学模块和提供科学家榜样，改善9-12年级学生的科学教育;通过教师培训，与KSU学生和教师的互动以及课程丰富来提高9-12年级教师的知识;加强USD 475与KSU STEM部门的合作伙伴关系;并扩大KSU内部以及KSU与K-12教育之间的合作伙伴关系。EIDRoP将在加强教育（研究员，学生，教师和教职员工）方面产生广泛的影响，并将推动科学教育的文化变革，促进大学科学部门和K-12教育之间的互动。
