项目摘要

This award supports the continuation of QuarkNet, a program which provides valuable research experience to high school teachers, enabling them to teach the basic concepts of introductory physics in a context that students find exciting. QuarkNet has created an ongoing national community of researchers that include high school teachers and students as well as physicists. QuarkNet's goals are to maintain and enhance this community, to attract young students to careers in science and technology, to help develop scientific literacy in society, and to develop links between the high school classroom and experiments and techniques used to explore the scientific frontier. Key features of QuarkNet are the establishment of mentor relationships between teachers and scientists, summer research experiences for teachers, and the development of a scientific and learning community within and among centers. QuarkNet provides opportunities for teachers to become more professional, resulting in the development of programming for peers in the center, in their schools and districts and beyond. QuarkNet provides a centrally hosted, scalable, parallel cyberlearning environment as a cloud-like service. Held at university and laboratory centers, Masterclasses are institutes for teams of students who become physicists for a day, analyzing real experimental data and discussing results in videoconferences with peers and physicists. Under this five-year award, QuarkNet will support more than 50 centers participating in a variety of experiments at CERN, Fermilab and in non-accelerator and astrophysics programs. In this five-year period, the QuarkNet Program will support: (1) the local programs of the long-term QuarkNet centers for ~400 teachers per year who receive stipends; (2) a few teachers with multi-week summer research appointments to work under the guidance of physicists from a university or laboratory near their homes should new centers join the collaboration; (3) 120 teachers who will attend a one-week particle physics Data Camp at Fermilab to be immersed in an intensive experience to learn more particle physics and one that models an investigation approach to inquiry teaching and learning; (4) 32 fellows with continuing training that gives them the knowledge and skills to offer professional development experiences for other teachers; and (5) 100 teachers who will be involved with masterclasses. Over the five years (2018-2022) this project is expected to reach, in addition to the teachers, more than 150 physicists, and eventually well over 100,000 students. A portion of this effort is supported through the NSF ATLAS and CMS Operations awards.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持QuarkNet计划的继续，该计划为高中教师提供宝贵的研究经验，使他们能够在学生感到兴奋的背景下教授入门物理的基本概念。QuarkNet创建了一个持续的全国研究人员社区，其中包括高中教师和学生以及物理学家。QuarkNet的目标是维护和加强这个社区，吸引年轻学生投身科学和技术职业，帮助培养社会的科学素养，并在高中课堂和用于探索科学前沿的实验和技术之间建立联系。QuarkNet的主要特点是在教师和科学家之间建立导师关系，教师的暑期研究经验，以及在中心内和中心之间发展科学和学习社区。QuarkNet为教师提供了变得更加专业的机会，从而为中心、学校和学区以及其他地方的同行开发了编程。QuarkNet提供集中托管、可扩展的并行网络学习环境，作为类似云的服务。大师班在大学和实验室中心举行，是为学生团队提供的机构，他们将成为物理学家一天，分析真实的实验数据，并通过视频会议与同行和物理学家讨论结果。根据这项为期五年的合同，QuarkNet将支持50多个中心参与欧洲核子研究中心、费米实验室以及非加速器和天体物理项目的各种实验。在这五年期间，QuarkNet方案将支持：(1)长期QuarkNet中心的地方方案，每年约400名领取津贴的教师；(2)几名教师，如果有新的中心加入，将在他们家附近的大学或实验室的物理学家的指导下进行为期数周的暑期研究；(3)120名教师将参加费米拉实验室为期一周的粒子物理数据营，沉浸在深入体验中，学习更多粒子物理，并模拟研究性教学和学习的调查方法；(4)32名接受持续培训的研究员，为他们提供知识和技能，为其他教师提供专业发展经验；及。(5)100名将参与大师班的教师。在五年内(2018-2022年)，除教师外，该项目预计将惠及150多名物理学家，最终将远远超过10万名学生。这一努力的一部分由NSF ATLAS和CMS运营奖支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
