Planning Meeting to Organize K-12 Science Around Core Ideas

来自NRC科学教育委员会（BOSE）的这个RAPID项目提议召集一个为期一天半的国家专家研讨会，为如何围绕一组有限的核心科学思想重塑科学标准制定一个概念性框架，以便为科学教育者和决策者建立内容优先级。讲习班将把来自核研究中心若干综合研究的关于儿童学习的研究纳入新的概念框架。这一研究成果连同受委托撰写的讲习班论文将构成讲习班的背景材料。与会者将包括科学家、有学问的科学家、科学教育者以及熟悉实践和政策的人员。该研讨会与美国国家科学教师协会（NSTA）科学锚项目最近发起的一项努力有关。

This RAPID project from the NRC's Board on Science Education (BOSE) proposes to convene a day and one-half long workshop of national experts to develop a conceptual framework for how to recast science standards around a limited set of core scientific ideas in order to establish content priority for science educators and policymakers. The workshop will integrate reserach on children's learning, drawn from several NRC synthesis studies, into the new conceptual framework. This body of research, along with commissioned workshop papers will form the background materials for the workshop. Participants will include scientists, learning scientists, science educators and those familiar with practice and policy. The workshop is tied to a recently initiated effort of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Science Anchors project.
