This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is focused on the challenge of significantly improving student achievement in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) concepts through the development of an innovative video software platform. STEM fields are widely regarded as vital to a nation's economy, but a disconnect exists between the STEM knowledge and skills that students acquire in schools and those that they need to succeed in an increasingly global, technology-dependent workplace. Phase I research will enable development and testing of an internet-based video and peer review tool that will merge the core inquiry steps of successful scientists with state-of-the-art video proprietary technology, and allow collaboration between students and teachers located anywhere in the country. Commercialization of this video software technology will provide school districts with a needed educational tool to help teachers direct and assess STEM activities, and support students as they learn critical thinking skills and master STEM concepts, a mastery fundamental to successful careers in science and engineering. Encouraging the growth of students? STEM competency through this technology will encourage the growth of scientific innovations of the future, supporting domestic jobs and a strong financial tax foundation for our country's economic prosperity. The technical innovation in this SBIR project is a video software platform designed for STEM critical inquiry, with proprietary source code, student peer review, teacher assessment, analytics, searchable database, and secure class-to-class video sharing. Each video-based project requires that students work within a framework mirroring best practices of professional scientists: Students organize concepts in terms of hypotheses, evidence, and analysis, and communicate their evidence-based projects to be peer reviewed. Successful results of this Phase I project will enable a secure software learning platform that mirrors the scientific inquiry steps of scientists, and is designed to be used with existing Learning Management Systems (LMS). The goals and scope of the research are to develop the interactive video player source code that supports the educational framework and then demonstrate the results of this platform on student achievement utilizing a standardized achievement test. These goals will be accomplished through several tasks focused on software development to incorporate secure account creation, peer-review interactivity, and LMS integration, followed by demonstration of class-to-class connectivity of the platform. A pilot study will assess the software platform's functionality and demonstrate its potential to significantly increase high school student critical thinking and scientific inquiry measures on a standardized test.

这个小企业创新研究第一阶段项目的重点是通过开发一个创新的视频软件平台，显着提高学生在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）概念的成绩的挑战。STEM领域被广泛认为对一个国家的经济至关重要，但学生在学校获得的STEM知识和技能与他们在日益全球化、依赖技术的工作场所取得成功所需的知识和技能之间存在脱节。第一阶段的研究将能够开发和测试基于互联网的视频和同行评议工具，该工具将成功科学家的核心调查步骤与最先进的视频专有技术相结合，并允许位于全国任何地方的学生和教师之间的合作。这种视频软件技术的商业化将为学区提供所需的教育工具，以帮助教师指导和评估STEM活动，并支持学生学习批判性思维技能和掌握STEM概念，这是科学和工程事业成功的基础。鼓励学生成长？通过这项技术获得的STEM能力将鼓励未来科学创新的增长，支持国内就业，并为我国的经济繁荣奠定坚实的财税基础。这个SBIR项目的技术创新是一个视频软件平台，专为STEM关键查询而设计，具有专有源代码，学生同行评审，教师评估，分析，可搜索数据库和安全的班级视频共享。每个基于视频的项目都要求学生在反映专业科学家最佳实践的框架内工作：学生组织假设，证据和分析方面的概念，并传达他们的循证项目进行同行评审。这个第一阶段项目的成功结果将使一个安全的软件学习平台，反映科学家的科学探究步骤，并设计用于现有的学习管理系统（LMS）。研究的目标和范围是开发支持教育框架的交互式视频播放器源代码，然后利用标准化成绩测试展示该平台对学生成绩的影响。 这些目标将通过几项侧重于软件开发的任务来实现，以纳入安全帐户创建，同行评审交互性和LMS集成，然后演示平台的类到类连接。一项试点研究将评估软件平台的功能，并展示其在标准化考试中显着提高高中生批判性思维和科学探究能力的潜力。
