STEM+C Education Research Summit

STEM C计划专注于研究和开发跨学科和跨学科的方法，以整合科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教与学中的计算，在正式和非正式环境中为K-12学前班的学生提供帮助。教育发展中心(EDC)将开发和促进STEM C教育研究峰会，支持STEM C研究社区收集、共享和分析他们的研究成果；解决NSF在计算STEM领域的大想法；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，推动从早期年级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创新网络和实践社区(COPS)的最佳实践文献，以促进STEM C创新COP的发展。缔约方会议会议的设计和促进将使私营部门主管有机会扩大其工作，并探讨STEM C社区内各种问题的汇合和重叠。为了鼓励全球参与的研究文化，将邀请一个由STEM C研究人员组成的国际小组展示他们对各国STEM C进展的研究。峰会将是一次工作会议，在此期间，STEM C社区成员将了解社区成员取得的进展，围绕新出现的研究主题综合研究结果，并确定和/或建议STEM C研究的新方向。围绕新出现的主题组织的工作组将代表智力工作的纽带，为私营部门主管提供在这些领域加深了解和建立关系的机会。首脑会议的成果将包括：建立一个独特的、跨学科的实践社区；集体生产人工制品和产品；增进对STEM C研究项目结果的了解；改进STEM C评价方法，以建立设计研究方面的专门知识，这些研究将导致可行的成果，作为教育创新的基础；发展专业的同行联系，从而促成未来的研究合作；提供机会参与综合研究活动，并不断阐述整个计划的结果和吸取的经验教训；这一奖项反映了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。

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.
