项目摘要

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.There are an estimated 2-4 billion specimens in the world's natural history collections that contain the data necessary to address complex global issues, including biodiversity and climate. Digitized natural history collections present an untapped opportunity to engage learners in crucial questions of science with far-reaching potential consequences via object-based research investigations. This project will develop and study a prototype online learning environment that supports student learning via Engaging Practices for Inquiry with Collections in Bioscience (EPIC Bioscience). EPIC Bioscience uses authentic research investigations with digitized collections from natural history museums. The project team will create a curriculum aligned with the Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS) for middle school students, emphasizing a major disciplinary core idea in grades 6-8 life science, Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics. The project has three major goals: 1) Develop an online learning environment that guides students through research investigations using digitized natural history collections to teach NGSS life science standards. 2) Investigate how interactive features and conversational scaffolds in the EPIC Bioscience learning environment can promote deeper processing of science content and effective knowledge building. 3) Demonstrate effective approaches to using digitized collections objects for contextualized, research-based science learning that aligns to NGSS standards for middle school classrooms.The project will examine how and when interactive features of a digital learning environment can be combined with deep questions and effective online scaffolds to promote student engagement, meaningful collaborative discourse, and robust learning outcomes during research with digitized museum collections. Research activities will address: How can interactive features of EPIC Bioscience help students learn disciplinary core ideas and cross cutting concepts via science practices through collections-based research? How can effective patterns of collaborative scientific discourse be supported and enhanced during online, collections-based research? How does the use of digitized scientific collections influence students' levels of engagement and depth of processing during classroom investigations? A significant impact of the proposed work is expanded opportunities for research with authentic museum objects for populations who are traditionally underserved in STEM and are underrepresented in museum visitor demographics (Title I schools, racial/ethnic minorities, and rural school populations). Research activities will engage over 1,500 Title I and rural students (50 classes across three years) in meaningful research investigations with collections objects that address pressing global issues.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.

探索研究K-12项目（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pre -12学生和教师对科学、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，为拟议的项目提供了理论和实证依据。据估计，世界自然历史收藏品中有20 - 40亿件标本，其中包含解决复杂的全球问题所需的数据，包括生物多样性和气候。数字化的自然历史收藏提供了一个未开发的机会，通过基于对象的研究调查，让学习者参与具有深远潜在影响的关键科学问题。该项目将开发和研究一个原型在线学习环境，支持学生通过参与实践探究生物科学（EPIC Bioscience）进行学习。EPIC Bioscience使用真实的研究调查和自然历史博物馆的数字化收藏品。项目团队将为中学生创建与下一代科学标准（NGSS）一致的课程，强调6-8年级生命科学的主要学科核心思想，生态系统：相互作用，能量和动力学。该项目有三个主要目标：1)开发一个在线学习环境，引导学生通过使用数字化自然历史收藏品进行研究调查，以教授NGSS生命科学标准。2)探讨EPIC生物科学学习环境中的交互特征和会话框架如何促进科学内容的深度加工和有效的知识构建。3)展示使用数字化馆藏对象进行情境化、研究型科学学习的有效方法，这些方法与中学课堂的NGSS标准相一致。该项目将研究如何以及何时将数字学习环境的互动特征与深度问题和有效的在线框架相结合，以促进学生参与，有意义的协作话语，并在数字化博物馆藏品研究中获得强有力的学习成果。研究活动将涉及：EPIC Bioscience的互动功能如何通过基于收集的研究，通过科学实践帮助学生学习学科核心思想和交叉概念？在在线的、基于收集的研究中，如何支持和加强有效的协作科学话语模式？在课堂调查中，数字化科学资料的使用如何影响学生的参与水平和处理深度？拟议工作的一个重大影响是，为传统上在STEM领域服务不足、在博物馆游客人口统计中代表性不足的人群（第一标题学校、种族/少数民族和农村学校人口）扩大了研究真实博物馆物品的机会。研究活动将吸引1500多名Title I和农村学生（三年内50个班）进行有意义的研究调查，收集解决紧迫的全球问题的对象。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
