项目摘要

Learning is the basis of human mental development and the process of learning continues throughout our lives. Perhaps more than anything else, how and what we learn shapes who we are. This project has the dual aims of achieving a deeper scientific understanding of learning, and communicating a deeper understanding of the science of learning to scientists and the public. Over several decades, diverse fields including genetics, neuroscience, linguistics, education, and psychology have generated a wealth of knowledge about myriad aspects of how humans learn, but a grand challenge remains: to integrate that knowledge into a unified understanding of learning based on these diverse fields, and on scales ranging from the gene to the neuron, brain, and human behavior. This National Science Foundation Research Traineeship (NRT) award to the University of Connecticut will help prepare the next generation of researchers to meet this challenge. The traineeship, focusing on the science of learning, will train fifty (50) PhD students, including twenty-five (25) funded trainees, from education, genetics, linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, and speech-language-hearing sciences. By emphasizing a problem-based approach (learning by doing), embracing collaboration across a broad a spectrum of disciplines, and integrating hands-on training in communication and leadership skills that enable effective multidisciplinary project design, management, and scientific discovery, this program will offer trainees unique preparation for a range of careers in academia, industry, and the public sector. The training program has five major components: an intensive one-year seminar that surveys the science of learning across all participating fields, a hands-on practicum where trainees learn to design and implement multidisciplinary research, faculty-student research interest groups that serve as brainstorming launch pads for new scientific challenges, data stewardship modules, and integrated training in outreach and communication. The seminar provides a cross-disciplinary introduction to the science of learning and the challenge of technical communication, while the practicum emphasizes practical skills crucial in academic and nonacademic careers that graduate education too often lacks: project design and management, budgeting and resource allocation, and external communications. The research interest groups, which will evolve as promising research proposals emerge from the practicum, serve as both focal point for research and organizational structure for the participants. From their first day in the program, students face the challenge of how to clearly and effectively share ideas without assuming prior knowledge or relying on technical jargon, a skill that not only enables excellence in research, but empowers trainees to become ambassadors for their work to society as a whole. This program will also promote diversity in careers requiring advanced training through best practices in recruitment and retention.The NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) Program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new potentially transformative models for STEM graduate education training. The Traineeship Track is dedicated to effective training of STEM graduate students in high priority interdisciplinary research areas, through comprehensive traineeship models that are innovative, evidence-based, and aligned with changing workforce and research needs.

学习是人类智力发展的基础，学习的过程贯穿于我们的一生。也许最重要的是，我们学习的方式和内容塑造了我们是谁。这个项目具有双重目标，即实现对学习的更深层次的科学理解，以及向科学家和公众传达对学习科学的更深层次的理解。几十年来，包括遗传学、神经科学、语言学、教育学和心理学在内的不同领域产生了关于人类如何学习的无数方面的丰富知识，但一个巨大的挑战仍然存在：在这些不同领域的基础上，从基因到神经元、大脑和人类行为的范围内，将这些知识整合到对学习的统一理解中。这项授予康涅狄格大学的国家科学基金会研究培训(NRT)奖将有助于为迎接这一挑战培养下一代研究人员。该培训项目侧重于学习科学，将培训五十(50)名博士生，其中包括来自教育学、遗传学、语言学、心理学、神经科学和言语-语言-听力科学的25(25)名资助学员。通过强调以问题为基础的方法(边做边学)，拥抱跨多学科的合作，并整合沟通和领导技能方面的实践培训，从而实现有效的多学科项目设计、管理和科学发现，该项目将为学员在学术界、工业和公共部门的一系列职业生涯提供独特的准备。该培训计划由五个主要部分组成：为期一年的密集研讨会，调查所有参与领域的学习科学；学员在实践中学习设计和实施多学科研究；师生研究兴趣小组，作为集思广益的发射台，应对新的科学挑战；数据管理模块；以及外联和沟通方面的综合培训。研讨会提供了对学习科学和技术交流挑战的跨学科介绍，而实践课程则强调在学术和非学术职业中至关重要的实用技能，而研究生教育往往缺乏这些技能：项目设计和管理、预算和资源分配以及对外交流。研究兴趣小组既是研究的焦点，也是参与者的组织结构，它将随着实践中出现的有前途的研究建议而演变。从项目的第一天开始，学生们就面临着如何在不假设先验知识或依赖技术术语的情况下清晰有效地分享想法的挑战，这种技能不仅能使研究取得卓越成绩，还能让学员成为他们工作对整个社会的大使。该计划还将通过招聘和保留方面的最佳实践，促进需要高级培训的职业的多样性。NSF研究型培训(NRT)计划旨在鼓励为STEM研究生教育培训开发和实施大胆的、具有潜在变革性的新模式。Traineesship Track致力于通过创新的、基于证据的、与不断变化的劳动力和研究需求保持一致的综合培训模式，在高度优先的跨学科研究领域对STEM研究生进行有效培训。
