项目摘要

The National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Education (NNOCCI) strengthens the capacity of informal science education institutions (ISEIs) to increase public understanding of climate change and its impacts on coastal zones and marine life. Building on ISEIs' large audiences, interpretive capacity, and public trust, NNOCCI has a transformative impact on public science communication. The project's goals are to: (1) Expand interpretive techniques based on sound social science research; (2) Expand the emerging community of practice developed through a CCEP-Phase I planning grant; (3) Deepen content knowledge and communication skills of scientists and interpreters; and (4) Develop a resilient and replicable national infrastructure for reaching ISEIs and their public audiences. This partnership is led by the New England Aquarium in collaboration with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, FrameWorks Institute, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, with evaluation conducted by the New Knowledge Organization, Pennsylvania State University, and Ohio State University. A series of 14 Study Circles are being developed to provide professional development for ISEI interpretive staff in collaboration with climate scientists and cognitive/social scientists. Fifteen Regional Leaders participate in recruiting and in planning and leading additional workshops. Special training methods are being developed and implemented for youth interpreters. For scientists, workshops focusing on strategic framing and communication are being offered. Best practices from current social science research are being incorporated into a new e-Workshop. NNOCCI engages stakeholders from 140 institutions, with the potential to reach tens of millions of people through their interpretation and communication. An even larger impact arises from the potential to transform how ISEIs translate information about climate change and oceans. The activities of this project help to achieve the vision of scaling up a training program to reach thousands of interpreters, including underserved youth, over several years. This project builds on the knowledge, success, and momentum generated during a previous CCEP-I project to expand the depth, reach, and legacy of this work over the next five years. NNOCCI will ultimately engage millions of visitors to aquariums and other ISEIs in learning about the scientific processes linking climate change and the ocean. The project's strategic impact is its potential to transform how these organizations present this topic and, ultimately, how they communicate other complex environmental or scientific topics that involve policy implications. Anticipated outcomes include: a new "culture of communication" about complex science within the ISE community; a national network of interpretive leaders throughout the ISE field who are skilled, confident, and capable of disseminating that information effectively; engagement of a critical mass of ISEIs with a broad and diverse national reach; increased public awareness of climate change as a salient, meaningful, and actionable topic; and increased capacity of the next generation of ocean scientists.This project is one of six Phase II projects being funded through the Climate Change Education Partnership (CCEP) program. The CCEP program was developed as part of the NSF Climate Change Education program, established through Congressional appropriations in FY 2009. The CCEP program is a one-time, dedicated NSF effort to establish a coordinated national network of regionally- or thematically-based partnerships devoted to increasing the adoption of effective, high quality educational programs and resources related to the science of climate change and its impacts. The CCEP portfolio encompasses a major interdisciplinary research and development effort designed to promote deeper understanding of, and engagement with, climate system science and the impacts of climate change on natural and human systems. The vision of this program is a scientifically literate society that can effectively weigh the evidence regarding global climate change as it confronts the challenges ahead, while preparing the innovative scientific and technical workforce to advance our knowledge of human-climate interactions and develop approaches for a sustainable, prosperous future. Each CCEP is required to incorporate innovative collaborations among expertise of climate scientists, learning scientists, and education practitioners in either formal or informal learning environments to research, design, and test new models and strategies for effective teaching and learning about climate science. With its focus on interdisciplinary approaches and transformative scales of impact, the CCEP program occupies a unique and complementary niche in the portfolio of Federal investments related to climate science education and workforce development.

国家海洋和气候变化教育网络（NNOCCI）加强了非正式科学教育机构（ISEI）的能力，以提高公众对气候变化及其对沿海地区和海洋生物影响的理解。基于ISEI的大量受众，解释能力和公众信任，NNOCCI对公共科学传播产生了变革性的影响。该项目的目标是：（1）扩大基于健全的社会科学研究的解释技术;（2）扩大通过CCEP第一阶段规划赠款发展的新兴实践社区;（3）加深科学家和口译员的内容知识和沟通技能;（4）发展有弹性和可复制的国家基础设施，以接触ISEI及其公众受众。这项合作由新英格兰水族馆牵头，与动物园和水族馆协会、框架研究所和伍兹霍尔海洋研究所合作，由新知识组织、宾夕法尼亚州立大学和俄亥俄州州立大学进行评估。正在开发一系列14个研究圈，与气候科学家和认知/社会科学家合作，为ISEI解释人员提供专业发展。15名区域领导人参与招聘、规划和领导其他讲习班。正在为青年口译员制定和实施特别培训方法。正在为科学家举办以战略框架和沟通为重点的讲习班。目前社会科学研究的最佳做法正在纳入一个新的电子讲习班。NNOCCI吸引了来自140个机构的利益相关者，通过他们的解释和沟通，有可能接触到数千万人。一个更大的影响来自于ISEI转换有关气候变化和海洋信息的方式的潜力。该项目的活动有助于实现扩大培训方案的愿景，在几年内为数千名口译员，包括服务不足的青年提供培训。该项目建立在CCEP-I项目的知识、成功和动力的基础上，在未来五年内扩大这项工作的深度、范围和遗产。NNOCCI最终将吸引数百万参观水族馆和其他ISEI的游客了解气候变化和海洋之间联系的科学过程。该项目的战略影响是它有可能改变这些组织提出这一主题的方式，并最终改变它们如何交流涉及政策影响的其他复杂的环境或科学主题。预期成果包括：在伊势社区内建立一种关于复杂科学的新的“传播文化”;在整个伊势领域建立一个由熟练、自信、能够有效传播信息的解释性领导者组成的国家网络;使大量ISEI参与到广泛而多样化的国家范围内;提高公众对气候变化作为一个突出、有意义和可操作的主题的认识;该项目是气候变化教育伙伴关系（CCEP）计划资助的六个第二阶段项目之一。 CCEP计划是NSF气候变化教育计划的一部分，该计划于2009财年通过国会拨款建立。 CCEP计划是一项一次性的、专门的NSF努力，旨在建立一个协调的、基于区域或主题的合作伙伴关系的国家网络，致力于增加采用与气候变化及其影响科学相关的有效、高质量的教育计划和资源。 CCEP项目组合包括一个主要的跨学科研究和开发工作，旨在促进对气候系统科学以及气候变化对自然和人类系统的影响的更深入理解和参与。该计划的愿景是建立一个具有科学素养的社会，能够有效地权衡全球气候变化的证据，因为它面临着未来的挑战，同时准备创新的科学和技术劳动力，以提高我们对人类与气候相互作用的认识，并为可持续，繁荣的未来制定方法。每个CCEP都需要在正式或非正式的学习环境中纳入气候科学家，学习科学家和教育从业者的专业知识之间的创新合作，以研究，设计和测试新的模型和策略，以有效地教授和学习气候科学。 CCEP计划专注于跨学科方法和变革性影响规模，在与气候科学教育和劳动力发展相关的联邦投资组合中占据独特和互补的利基。
