ITEST Strategies - SportsLab:2020 - Bringing Sport Research and Design Challenges into the 21st Century

这个项目正在开发和测试一个基于游戏的协作互动环境，在这个环境中，12-18岁的学生组成一个产品设计团队，为运动产品设计挑战创建概念模型和推介。参赛者、体育研究人员和产品专家确定最佳投球，并奖励顶级设计。SportsLab：2020将基于游戏和基于项目的学习的教学框架与设计挑战课程结合在一起，促进对21世纪技能和STEM概念的学习和理解。参与者可以访问嵌入式资源来帮助他们进行角色扮演、学习和试用在现实世界的职业生涯中取得成功所必需的技能。用于计划和跟踪进度的团队协作空间，以及用于收集、评估和演示真实世界数据的可用应用程序，用于将游戏扩展到课堂之外。SportsLab：2020仿照耐克的创新厨房和运动研究实验室，强调以健全的科学研究和工程设计过程为基础的创造性冒险。该项目吸引了包括耐克和游标软件技术公司在内的行业合作伙伴，提供专业知识和内容资源，并为最佳设计颁奖。最终，SportsLab：2020测试由行业合作伙伴赞助的基于游戏的STEM和信息通信技术注入的运动产品设计挑战的有效性，作为一种以引导潜在职业道路的方式激励不敬业的年轻人的方式。SportsLab：2020的发展与关于SportsLab：2020对参与者的学习、参与度和性格以及他们在正式和非正式环境中的体验的影响的研究是迭代的。在试点和实施阶段，将有大约30名教师和200至300名学生参加挑战。评估包括使用既定项目的前后测试，例如来自NAEP的STEM-与体育实验室：2020活动有关的内容和与21世纪技能有关的项目。这项研究使用比赛中的人工制品，考察了参与者在内容知识、创新和创造性问题解决方面的差异。项目评估者NKO正在对科学教师进行一项定性研究，以探索利用设计挑战来加强STEM学习的假设和观点。NKO将对研究方法进行外部独立同行审查，复制数据分析以验证结果的有效性，并对决策、干预和支持理论进行评论，以确保工作准确地反映数据和条件。SportsLab：2020项目有可能成为一个独特的全国性运动设计挑战的起点，展示了许多强调科学和工程实践以及交叉概念的报告所呼吁的学习类型。SportsLab：2020可以作为一个榜样，帮助教育和激励不敬业的学习者成为快速变化的世界中的熟练员工。

This project is developing and testing a collaborative game-based interactive environment where students, ages 12-18 form a product design team to create a concept model and pitch for a sport product design challenge. Participants, sport researchers, and product experts determine the best pitches with awards for top designs. SportsLab:2020 brings together pedagogical frameworks from game- and project-based learning together with design challenge curriculum that foster learning and understanding of 21st Century skills and STEM concepts. Participants have access to embedded resources to help as they role-play, learn, and tryout skills necessary for success in real world careers. A team collaborative space for planning and tracking progress together with available apps for real world data collection, evaluation, and presentations are used to extend the game beyond the classroom. SportsLab:2020 is modeled after Nike's Innovation Kitchen and Sport Research Lab with an emphasis on creative risk-taking grounded in sound scientific inquiry and engineering design processes. The project engages industry partners including Nike and Vernier Software & Technology for expertise and resources for content as well as awards for the best designs. Ultimately SportsLab:2020 tests the effectiveness of a game-based STEM and ICT-infused sport product design challenge sponsored by industry partners as a way to motivate disengaged youth in ways that lead to potential career paths.The development of SportsLab:2020 is iterative with research on the impact of SportsLab:2020 on participants' learning, engagement, and disposition, as well as perceptions of their experience in both formal and informal settings. Across pilot and implementation phases, approximately 30 teachers and 200 to 300 students will participate in the challenges. Evaluation includes pre/post tests using established items such as those from NAEP for STEM-content related to the SportsLab:2020 activities and items related to 21st century skills. Using artifacts from the competition, the research examines variation in content knowledge, innovation, and creative problem solving by the participants. NKO, the project evaluator, is conducting a qualitative study of science teachers to explore assumptions and perspective on the use of design challenges to enhance STEM learning. NKO will conduct an external independent peer-review of the research methods, replicate data analysis for validity testing of the findings, and comment on decisions, interventions, and supporting theory to ensure that the work accurately represent the data and conditions. The SportsLab:2020 project has the potential to serve as the launching pad for a unique nationwide sport design challenge demonstrating the type of learning called for in numerous reports that emphasize scientific and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts. SportsLab:2020 can serve as a model to help educate and motivate the disengaged learner to become the skilled employee in a quickly changing world.
