STEM+C Education Research Summit

STEM+C项目专注于研究和开发跨学科和跨学科的方法，将计算机整合到科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）的教学和学习中，为pre -12学生提供正式和非正式的环境。教育发展中心（EDC）将开发和推动STEM+C教育研究峰会，支持STEM+C研究社区收集、分享和分析他们的研究成果；解决NSF在计算STEM领域的重大构想；由于计算在STEM学科中的强大创新和应用，峰会将继续催化研究领域，以推进从早期到高中的学生的现实世界，跨学科和计算准备。STEM+C研究峰会的设计将借鉴有关创新网络和实践社区（COP）最佳实践的文献，以促进STEM+C创新COP的发展。缔约方会议的设计和促进将使项目负责人有机会扩展他们的工作，探索STEM+C社区内问题的交汇点和重叠部分。为了鼓励全球参与的研究文化，我们将邀请一个由STEM+C研究人员组成的国际小组，介绍他们在各国的STEM+C研究进展。峰会将是一个工作会议，在此期间，STEM+C社区成员将了解社区成员的进展，综合围绕新兴研究主题的发现，并确定和/或推荐STEM+C研究的新方向。围绕新兴主题组织的工作组将代表智力工作的联系，为pi提供加深在这些领域的理解和关系的机会。首脑会议的成果将包括：发展一个独特的跨学科实践社区；集体生产文物和产品；加深对STEM+C研究项目成果的理解；推进STEM+C评估方法，建立设计研究方面的专业知识，从而产生可行的成果，为教育创新奠定基础；发展专业的同行联系，促进未来的研究合作；提供参与综合研究活动的机会，并不断阐明整个方案的研究结果和经验教训；并参加一个工作组，该工作组将讨论STEM+C教育的未来战略。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。

The STEM+C Program focuses on research and development of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to the integration of computing within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teaching and learning for preK-12 students in both formal and informal settings. The Education Development Center (EDC) will develop and facilitate a STEM+C Education Research Summit that will support the STEM+C research community to collect, share, and analyze their research findings; address NSF's Big Ideas in computational STEM fields; and because of the powerful innovation and application of computing in the STEM disciplines, the Summit will continue to catalyze the research field for advancing real-world, interdisciplinary, and computational preparation of students from the early grades through high school.The STEM+C Research Summit design will be drawn from literature on best practices of innovation networks and communities of practice (COPs) to foster the development of a STEM+C innovation COP. The COP meeting design and facilitation will give PIs an opportunity to expand on their work and explore the confluence of issues and overlaps within the STEM+C community. To encourage a research culture that is globally engaged, an international panel of STEM+C researchers will be invited to present their research on advances in STEM+C in various countries. The Summit will be a working meeting, during which STEM+C community members will learn about advances made by community members, synthesize findings around emerging research themes, and identify and/or recommend new directions for STEM+C research. Working groups organized around emerging themes will represent a nexus of intellectual work that provides opportunities for PIs to deepen understandings and relationships in those areas. Outcomes of the Summit will include, development of a unique, interdisciplinary community of practice; collectively producing artifacts and products; increased understanding of the findings of STEM+C research projects; advancement of STEM+C evaluation methods to build expertise in designing research that will lead to viable outcomes as the foundation for education innovation; develop professional peer connections leading to future research collaborations; provide opportunities to engage in syntheses research activities and ongoing articulation of program-wide findings and lessons learned; and participation in a working group that will address future strategies for STEM+C education.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.
