项目摘要

Video has become a key tool for scientific communication because it increases the outreach and impact of projects, furthers scientific research within and across fields of study, and offers an accessible medium to engage the public in the understanding of science. This project supports the expansion of an interactive, online STEM Videohall where hundreds of NSF-funded researchers share their work through brief video narratives and interactive discussion. While the Videohall is accessible year-round, periodic annual Showcase events are used to drive visitors to the site where they can engage with one another, the project investigators and trained facilitators. The Videohall is a multiplier of NSF's investments in individual projects because it allows STEM education researchers to become aware of, and learn from, related work that is funded across NSF programs and directorates, and other federal agencies. In 3-minute video narratives, investigators share ideas, resources, data, evidence of impact, strategies and challenges. The Videohall platform supports open access and is designed to foster communication in ways that scale beyond traditional formats such as academic conferences. Moreover, because the online STEM Videohall is open to the public, it allows STEM investigators to share their work with multiple stakeholder communities including K-12 educators and school leaders, informal educators and community organizations, the STEM industry, education policy makers and families. Finally, because each video narrative is accompanied by a facilitated online discussion thread, investigators have a unique and valuable mechanism for receiving feedback from these various stakeholder communities. The STEM Videohall project is funded by the Discovery Research K-12 program (DRK-12), which 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. 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. This project brings together seven NSF-funded resource centers who work with their respective communities to encourage Principal Investigators to share video narratives of their work through annual NSF STEM Showcase events. Each annual Showcase event presents videos created by 150-230 projects; many of the projects are affiliated with one of the seven resource centers, but others are from projects across NSF directorates and beyond. During a one-week period, Principal Investigators, their project staff, as well as the public at large, are invited to engage in interactive discourse, providing queries, comments, and feedback. Participants also vote for favorite presentations through "Presenters' Choice," "Public Choice," and "Facilitators' Choice," processes. This participant voting system serves to increase engagement and enhances outreach of the event through social media. After the one-week Showcase event concludes, all of the videos along with the related discourse remain available to the public online, who continue to access the Showcase throughout the year. Based on prior pilot work, it is estimated that over the course of a year, over 30,000 visitors, from over 150 countries, will engage with each annual Showcase. Videos from annual showcase events will be shared, reused, and repurposed to create new products with new constituencies. The project includes technical development efforts to iteratively improve its interactive platform, outreach efforts before each annual Showcase event, facilitation of the week-long event, and intensive dissemination efforts. A research component examines the extent of participation on various constituencies, the benefit of participation to projects, and the success of the events in terms of dissemination nationally and internationally.

视频已成为科学传播的一个关键工具，因为它增加了项目的覆盖面和影响力，促进了研究领域内和跨领域的科学研究，并提供了一个可访问的媒介，使公众参与对科学的理解。该项目支持扩展一个互动的在线STEM视频大厅，数百名NSF资助的研究人员通过简短的视频叙述和互动讨论分享他们的工作。虽然视频厅全年开放，但定期的年度展示活动被用来将游客带到现场，在那里他们可以与彼此，项目调查员和训练有素的主持人进行互动。视频厅是NSF对单个项目投资的倍增器，因为它允许STEM教育研究人员了解并学习NSF计划和董事会以及其他联邦机构资助的相关工作。在3分钟的视频叙述中，调查人员分享想法、资源、数据、影响证据、战略和挑战。Videohall平台支持开放访问，旨在以超越学术会议等传统形式的方式促进交流。此外，由于在线STEM视频大厅向公众开放，它允许STEM调查人员与多个利益相关者社区分享他们的工作，包括K-12教育工作者和学校领导，非正式教育工作者和社区组织，STEM行业，教育政策制定者和家庭。最后，由于每个视频叙述都伴随着一个便利的在线讨论线程，调查人员有一个独特的和有价值的机制，从这些不同的利益相关者社区接收反馈。STEM Videohall项目由Discovery Research K-12计划（DRK-12）资助，该计划旨在通过研究和开发创新资源，模型和工具，显着提高PreK-12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。该项目汇集了七个NSF资助的资源中心，他们与各自的社区合作，鼓励主要研究人员通过年度NSF STEM展示活动分享他们工作的视频叙述。每年的Showcase活动都会展示由150-230个项目创建的视频;其中许多项目隶属于七个资源中心之一，但其他项目来自NSF董事会及其他部门的项目。在为期一周的时间里，邀请主要研究人员、他们的项目工作人员以及广大公众参与互动讨论，提供询问、评论和反馈。参与者还通过“演讲者选择”、“公众选择”和“主持人选择”流程投票选出最喜欢的演讲。这一参与者投票系统有助于通过社交媒体提高参与度并加强活动的外联。在为期一周的展示活动结束后，所有的视频沿着相关的话语仍然提供给公众在线，谁继续访问展示全年。根据之前的试点工作，估计在一年的时间里，来自150多个国家的30，000多名游客将参与每个年度展示。来自年度展示活动的视频将被共享、重复使用和重新利用，以创造新产品。该项目包括技术开发工作，以反复改进其互动平台，在每次年度展示活动之前开展外联工作，为为期一周的活动提供便利，以及密集的传播工作。一个研究部分审查各赞助者的参与程度、参与对项目的好处以及活动在国内和国际传播方面的成功。
