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

通过整合实现产量最大化（MYTI）：科学和数学教育在处置社会的背景下汇集了数学和科学合作伙伴关系（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），本科生环境生物学（UMEB）和地理实习指导通过整合研究和教育，扩大参与和关键时刻的机构整合主题的创新。 该项目由波多黎各-里奥皮德拉斯大学（UPRRP）牵头，建立了一个科学和数学教育中心（CSME），通过将现有的NSF资助的项目纳入环境科学和科学教育的广泛领域，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学校建立外联机会，从而建立一个将NSF资助项目的最新研究纳入教育研究的模式。 该中心将为以下方面提供基础设施：合作教学方法;试点研究;互联网资源;科学教育研究，包括统计支持;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、建设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师的数量，扩大代表性不足的少数民族的参与，并改善学生在关键时刻（7-12）对STEM的态度。 它最终将培养48名特级教师，头三年培养18名，第四至第五年再培养30名教师，他们将在波多黎各的25所伙伴学校/城镇服务。 此外，它还将支持来自UPRRP的12名科学家，他们将把科学教育作为一项学术活动。 通过利用在教育连续体的不同点上资助的NSF项目，CSME将对管道产生整体影响，导致学生数量（产量）的增加，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.
