项目摘要

The Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools (RMTs). Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. One significant challenge facing elementary STEM education is the varied preparation of English-language learners. The project addresses this with an innovative use of engineering curriculum to build on the English-language learners' prior experiences. The project will support teachers' learning about strategies for teaching English-language learners and using engineering design tasks as learning opportunities for mathematics, science and communication skills. The project's cross-disciplinary approach is grounded in both inquiry-based science education research and bilingual cognition research. These complementary foci bridge research areas to highlight how engineering experiences for students can capitalize on bilingual students' experiences as problem solvers. The project will develop teachers' ability and instructional efficacy for both STEM and bilingual student instruction. The project adapts a previously developed curriculum for engineering education by adding resources and tools to support bilingual students. The research design primarily measures teacher-level phenomenon such as implementation of instructional strategies, STEM self-efficacy and ability to address the academic development of bilingual students through engineering design activities. Data collected include classroom observations, teacher surveys, focus groups, and teacher interviews. Student assessments will be piloted in the final year of the project.

探索研究K-12计划（DRK-12）旨在通过研究和开发创新资源，模型和工具（RMT），显着提高学前班学生和教师的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。DRK-12计划中的项目建立在STEM教育的基础研究和先前的研究和开发工作的基础上，这些研究和开发工作为拟议项目提供了理论和经验依据。小学STEM教育面临的一个重大挑战是英语学习者的各种准备。该项目通过创新地使用工程课程来解决这个问题，以建立在英语学习者以前的经验基础上。该项目将支持教师学习英语学习者的教学策略，并利用工程设计任务作为数学、科学和沟通技能的学习机会。该项目的跨学科方法是基于探究的科学教育研究和双语认知研究。这些互补的焦点桥梁研究领域，以突出学生的工程经验如何利用双语学生的经验作为问题解决者。该项目将发展教师在STEM和双语学生教学方面的能力和教学效能。该项目通过增加资源和工具来支持双语学生，从而调整了以前开发的工程教育课程。研究设计主要测量教师层面的现象，如教学策略的实施，STEM自我效能感和通过工程设计活动解决双语学生学业发展的能力。收集的数据包括课堂观察、教师调查、焦点小组和教师访谈。学生评估将在项目的最后一年进行试点。
