Innovation in Education: Connecting How We Learn to Educational Practice and Policy - Research Evidence and Implications

随着社会逐渐成为知识密集型社会，它们越来越依赖人的学习和创新能力。每个国家的教育系统如何准备或未能准备其公民迎接这些挑战是全球感兴趣的话题。 教育创新的主要驱动力是关注人类如何学习的基础研究。我们面临的挑战是如何更有效地利用人们如何学习的研究来指导教育实践，以及如何利用从教育实践中获得的知识和经验来提出问题，以测试和完善正在进行的学习研究。该奖项将使美国研究人员能够参加经合组织关于教育创新的会议：连接我们如何学习教育实践和政策研究的证据和影响。 此外，这些研究人员将能够参加在经合组织会议之前举行的关于神经成像和学习研究进展的科学研讨会。 这两个独立但相关的活动的知识价值和更广泛的影响包括：1）它将汇集一个国际研究人员、从业人员和决策者小组，讨论对教育实践和政策有影响的关键科学发现，了解学习研究的价值及其对社会和经济优先事项的影响; 2）它将促进研究人员、从业人员和决策者的国际网络的发展，以便在会后继续对话。 继续参与将使美国研究人员和教育工作者能够研究在其他国家已被证明成功的学习和教学模式。 了解可以测试，开发和适应使用的基本要素将有利于美国的研究人员和教育工作者; 3）使美国研究人员参加科学研讨会，以开发新的合作与欧洲领导人在神经成像和学习研究，并创造国际机会，培训美国学生。

As societies become progressively knowledge-intensive, they increasingly rely on human capabilities to learn and innovate. How each nation's education system prepares or fails to prepare its citizenry to meet these challenges are topics of global interest. A primary driver of educational innovation is basic research focused on how humans learn. The challenge is how to more effectively use research about how people learn to inform educational practice, and conversely, how to use knowledge and experience gained from educational practice to raise questions that test and refine research being conducted on learning.This award will enable US researchers to participate in the OECD conference on Innovation in Education: Connecting how we learn to educational practice and policy research evidence and implications. In addition, these researchers will be able to participate in a scientific symposium on Neuroimaging and advances in Learning research, to be held just prior to the OECD conference. The Intellectual merit and broader impacts of the two separate, but related activities include the following: 1) it will bring together an international group of researchers, practitioners and policymakers for discussions about key scientific findings that have implications for educational practice and policy creating an understanding of the value of learning research and its impacts on social and economic priorities; 2) It will foster the development of an international network of researchers, practitioners and policy makers to continue the dialogue after the meeting. Continued engagement will enable US researchers and educators to examine models of learning and teaching that have proven successful in other countries. An understanding of the essential elements that can be tested, developed and adapted for use will be of benefit to US researchers and educators; 3) enable the US researchers attending the scientific symposium to develop new collaborations with European leaders in neuroimaging and learning research, and to create international opportunities for training of US students.
