项目摘要

National Parks are full of interesting and unusual STEM features which often intrigue visitors whose questions are answered by park personnel. In addition to the natural features, there are often researchers in the parks gathering data and conducting experiments. Park personnel are not apprised of these studies yet are often questioned about them. This collaborative project's goals are to derive a mechanism to educate the park personnel so they can respond to the visitor's inquiries. Collaborators include the National Park Service (NPS), TERC, Winston-Salem State University, and the park personnel at Carlsbad Caverns National Park.The plan is to work through the park interpreters who are employees of NPS and often are the voice for explaining the park's natural features. For this project, the interpreters and researchers will collaborate on the explanations of the science and TERC will work with the interpreters on interacting or educating the public visitors on the research. This is a pilot study to determine how best to bridge the scientists and their research to the park visitors. Evaluation on all elements in this study will be done by Char Associates and the Institute for Mathematics and Science Education at New Mexico State University.The results of this study are to determine the issues in explaining the research to the park interpreters and thence to the park visitors. If successful, it is anticipated that a model will be developed in collaboration with the NPS for use in other National Parks.

国家公园充满了有趣和不寻常的STEM特征，这些特征经常引起游客的兴趣，他们的问题由公园工作人员回答。除了自然景观，公园里还经常有研究人员收集数据和进行实验。公园工作人员没有被告知这些研究，但经常被问及这些研究。这个合作项目的目标是建立一个机制，教育公园工作人员，使他们能够回应游客的询问。合作者包括国家公园管理局（National Park Service，简称NPA）、TERC、温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学（Winston-Salem State University）和卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园的公园工作人员。该计划是通过公园口译员开展工作，他们是NPA的雇员，通常是解释公园自然特征的声音。在这个项目中，口译员和研究人员将合作解释科学，TERC将与口译员合作互动或教育公众参观者进行研究。这是一个试点研究，以确定如何最好地连接科学家和他们的研究，公园游客。本研究中的所有要素将由Char Associates和新墨西哥州州立大学数学与科学教育研究所进行评估。本研究的结果将确定在向公园口译员解释研究时的问题，从而向公园游客解释研究。如果成功，预计将与国家公园管理局合作开发一个模型，供其他国家公园使用。
