This proposal requests funding for eight American scientists to attend a meeting at the SalzburgGlobal Symposium entitled, "Untapped Talent: Can Better Testing and Data AccelerateCreativity in Learning and Societies" The five day conference focuses on the current need todevelop assessments that measure skills critical for success in the 21st century workplace. Currently available assessments are not adequate to tap these important skills, and have not been sufficiently connected to instructional plans about how to build on areas of strength and bolster areas of weakness. The goal of the symposium is to develop new pathways for people to develop important skills and attitudes about learning, with particular attention to identifying and developing these skills in marginalized groups at risk of exclusion across generations. This session will specifically address the growing demand for assessments that inform educational practice, helping educators individualize instruction and improve learning. Participation at this meeting will allow the sharing of insights from a decade of cognitive and neuroscience research funded by NSF?s Science of Learning Centers. This will facilitate the use of cutting edge research on learning and assessment in action plans for the development of innovative assessments. The scientists attending the conference will share information about domains of knowledge that are both malleable and important for STEM success, notably spatial learning, and the importance of assessing attitudes about learning in addition to assessing knowledge and cognitive skills. They will present recent advances in integrating assessments with instruction, and the use of Big Data to make assessments efficient and informative.These interactions between scientists and assessment professionals will also stimulate new research questions about how people learn and the ways that assessment design and use can optimally be used to identify and foster talent. The Salzburg Global Forum has a well-established record of convening international meetings to tackle a wide-range of global challenges through engagement of diverse constituencies and expertise from scientists, education practitioners, and policy makers, government institutions, industry leaders, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders. Participation of the US scientists at this meeting will enable the dissemination of research about learning to a diverse audience, not generally represented in conventional scientific/professional meetings

该提案要求资助八位美国科学家参加萨尔茨堡全球研讨会，题为“未开发的人才：更好的测试和数据加速学习和社会中的创造力”。为期五天的会议重点关注当前开发评估方法的需求，评估对21世纪职场成功至关重要的技能。目前可用的评估不足以挖掘这些重要的技能，也没有充分地与教学计划联系起来，关于如何在优势领域建立和加强弱点领域。研讨会的目标是为人们发展重要技能和学习态度开辟新的途径，特别注意在几代人之间面临被排斥风险的边缘群体中发现和发展这些技能。本次会议将专门讨论教育实践中对评估日益增长的需求，帮助教育者个性化教学和提高学习。参加本次会议将允许分享十年来由美国国家科学基金会资助的认知和神经科学研究的见解。科学的学习中心。这将有助于在发展创新评估的行动计划中利用关于学习和评估的前沿研究。参加会议的科学家们将分享有关知识领域的信息，这些领域既具有可塑性，又对STEM的成功很重要，特别是空间学习，以及除了评估知识和认知技能外，评估学习态度的重要性。他们将介绍将评估与教学相结合的最新进展，以及利用大数据提高评估效率和信息量的最新进展。科学家和评估专业人员之间的这些互动也将激发新的研究问题，如人们如何学习，以及评估设计和使用的方式可以最佳地用于识别和培养人才。萨尔茨堡全球论坛在召开国际会议以应对广泛的全球挑战方面有着良好的记录，通过科学家、教育从业者、政策制定者、政府机构、行业领袖、企业家和其他利益相关者的参与和专业知识。美国科学家参加这次会议将使有关学习的研究能够传播给不同的受众，而传统的科学/专业会议通常没有这些受众
