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.The project at The Center for Technology and School Change (CTSC) at Teachers College, Columbia University, is a four-year, early-stage design and development project aimed to refine a state-of-the-art professional development model to prepare K-8 teachers and instructional leaders in urban schools to facilitate and support successful K-8 STEM Education. This project will explore the most effective features for preparing teachers to design and implement authentic STEM learning experiences in twelve high need elementary and middle urban schools across New York City and Yorkers. The project will specifically explore which components of the program promote teacher change, which aspects of the program support structural changes for STEM teaching in schools, and what holds promise for interdisciplinary STEM teacher development. Participants in this project will design and implement transdisciplinary STEM projects and learn to develop and support STEM learning environments for their schools. As part of this overall process, researchers will refine a situated professional development curriculum, including a suite of digital case studies that will assist schools. The project will: 1) build a vision for trans-disciplinary STEM schooling; 2) design and implement STEM learning experiences; and 3) take capacity-building steps to sustain STEM practices. A mixed method design approach will be used to explore both the implementation of the project and the effect of implementation on participants.

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)，显著提高K-12学龄前学生和教师在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)方面的学习和教学。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的项目提供了理论和经验证明。哥伦比亚大学师范学院技术与学校变革中心(CTSC)的项目是一个为期四年的早期设计和开发项目，旨在完善一种最先进的专业发展模式，以培养城市学校的K-8教师和教学领导者，以促进和支持成功的K-8 STEM教育。该项目将探索在纽约市和约克郡的12所高需求小学和中学培养教师设计和实施真实的STEM学习体验的最有效的特征。该项目将具体探讨该计划的哪些组成部分促进教师变革，该计划的哪些方面支持学校STEM教学的结构性改革，以及哪些方面对跨学科STEM教师发展有希望。该项目的参与者将设计和实施跨学科的STEM项目，并学习为他们的学校开发和支持STEM学习环境。作为整个过程的一部分，研究人员将完善情景专业发展课程，包括一套帮助学校的数字案例研究。该项目将：1)建立跨学科STEM教育的愿景；2)设计和实施STEM学习经验；3)采取能力建设步骤，支持STEM实践。将采用混合方法设计办法，探讨项目的实施情况和实施对参与者的影响。
