Maximizing Yield Through Integration (MYTI): Science and Math Education in the Context of a Disposing Society

通过整合实现最大收益(MYTI)：处置社会背景下的科学和数学教育汇集了来自数学和科学伙伴关系(MSP)、罗伯特·诺伊斯教师奖学金计划、综合研究生教育和研究培训(IGERT)、科学技术研究和教育中心(CREST)、长期生态研究(LTER)、环境生物学本科生指导(UMEB)和通过机构整合创新(UMEB)和地理实习的NSF奖项，这些奖项的主题是整合研究和教育、扩大参与和关键时刻。该项目由波多黎各大学里奥皮德拉斯分校(UPRRP)牵头，建立了一个科学和数学教育中心(CSME)，通过在环境科学和科学教育的广泛领域整合现有的NSF资助项目，将研究和教育结合起来。CSME将为开展科学教育研究提供支持，并与合作的K-12学校建立外展机会，从而建立一个结合NSF资助项目的最新研究的教育研究开发模式。该中心将为以下活动提供基础设施：合作教学方法；试点研究；互联网资源；科学教育研究，包括统计支助；以及评估工具，包括各种调查。该中心将为开发合作教学方法、支持试点研究、支持互联网资源和科学教育研究提供基础设施，包括统计支持、构建调查支持和其他评估工具。MYTI将通过增加精通数学和科学教育最佳教学实践的西班牙裔教师和教员人数，并在关键时刻(7-12岁)改善学生对STEM的态度，扩大代表不足的少数群体的参与。它最终将培养48名硕士教师，其中18名在头三年，30名教师在4-5年级，他们将在波多黎各各地的25所伙伴学校/城镇服务。此外，它还将支持UPRRP的12名科学家，他们将把科学教育作为一项学术活动。通过利用处于不同教育连续阶段的国家科学基金会资助的项目，CSME将对管道产生整体影响，导致更多的学生，特别是在STEM学科中代表性不足的学生进入STEM领域的职业生涯。

The Maximizing Yield Through Integration (MYTI): Science and Math Education in the Context of a Disposing Society brings together NSF awards from the Math and Science Partnership (MSP), Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, Integrative Graduate Education and Research Training (IGERT), Center for Research and Education in Science and Technology (CREST), Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER), Undergraduate Mentoring in Environmental Biology (UMEB) and Geo-Internships via the Innovation through Institutional Integration themes of integrating research and education, broadening participation, and critical junctures. Led by the University of Puerto Rico-Río Piedras (UPRRP), the project establishes a Center for Science and Mathematics Education (CSME) to integrate research and education by incorporating existing NSF-funded programs in the broad area of environmental sciences and science education. The CSME will provide support to conduct research on science education and establish outreach opportunities with partnering K-12 schools, thus instituting a model for developing educational research incorporating up-to-date research from NSF-funded programs. The Center will provide the infrastructure for the following: cooperative teaching approaches; pilot studies; internet resources; research in science education, including statistical support; and assessment tools, including a variety of surveys. The Center will provide the infrastructure for developing cooperative teaching approaches, supporting pilot studies, support for internet resources and for research in science education, including statistics support, building survey support, and other assessment tools. MYTI will broaden the participation of underrepresented minorities by increasing the number of Hispanic teachers and faculty that are proficient in the best teaching practices in mathematics and science education and improve the attitude of students at a critical juncture (7-12) towards STEM. It will ultimately develop 48 master teachers, 18 during the first three years and 30 more teachers during years 4-5, who will serve in 25 partnering schools/towns throughout Puerto Rico. In addition, it will support 12 scientists from UPRRP who will pursue science education as a scholarly activity. By utilizing funded NSF projects that are at different points on the educational continuum, CSME will have a holistic effect on the pipeline, leading to increased numbers (yields) of students, particularly students underrepresented in STEM disciplines, entering careers in STEM fields.
