Current priorities in school science education include engaging students in the practices of science as well as the ideas of science. This project will address this priority by developing a cloud-based platform that enables high school students, teachers, and scientists to conduct original neuroscience research in school classrooms. Before students and teachers initiate their own studies using the system, they will participate in existing research studies by contributing their own data and collaborating with researchers using the online, interactive system. When experienced with the system, students and teachers will become researchers by developing independent investigations and uploading them to the interactive platform. Both student-initiated and scientist-initiated proposals will be submitted to the platform, peer-reviewed by students and scientists, revised, and included in the online experimental bank. In addition to conducting their own studies using the platform, scientists will act as educators and mentors by populating the experiment bank with studies that can serve as models for students and provide science content for the educational resource center. This online system addresses a critical need in science education to involve students more fully and authentically in scientific inquiry where they gain experience in exploring the unknown rather than confirming what is already known.This early stage design and development study is guided by three goals: 1) Develop an open-science citizen science platform for conducting human brain and behavior research in the classroom, 2) Develop a remote neuroscience Student-Teacher-Scientists (STS) partnership program for high schools, and 3) Evaluate the design, development, and implementation of the program and its impacts on students and tachers. In developing this project, the project team will link two quickly emerging trends, one in science education, and one in the sciences. Consistent with current priorities in science education, the project will engage students and their teachers in authentic, active inquiry where they learn scientific practices by using them to conduct authentic inquiry where a search for knowledge is grounded in finding evidence-based answers to original questions. On the science side, students and their science partners will participate in an open science approach by pre-registering their research and committing to an analysis plan before data are collected. In this project, students will primarily be using reaction time and online systems to do research that includes study of their own brain function. The project research is guided by three research questions. How does an online citizen neuroscience STS platform: a) impact students' understanding of, and abilities to apply neuroscience and experimental design concepts? b) Impact students' interests in, and attitudes toward science, including an awareness of science careers and applications? and c) Affect teachers' attitudes towards neuroscience teaching, and the use of inquiry-based strategies? A design-based research approach will be used to iteratively design a sustainable and scalable inquiry-based neuroscience curriculum with teachers as design partners. The Discovery Research preK-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. 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.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.

学校科学教育的当前优先事项包括让学生参与科学的实践以及科学思想。 该项目将通过开发一个基于云的平台来解决此优先级，该平台使高中生，教师和科学家能够在学校教室中进行原始的神经科学研究。在学生和老师使用该系统启动自己的研究之前，他们将通过贡献自己的数据并使用在线交互式系统与研究人员合作，参与现有的研究。当有系统的经验时，学生和教师将通过开发独立的调查并将其上传到交互式平台来成为研究人员。学生发起的和科学家发起的提案都将提交给该平台，并由学生和科学家进行同行评审，修订并包括在在线实验银行中。除了使用该平台进行自己的研究外，科学家还将通过填充实验银行的研究来充当教育者和导师，这些研究可以作为学生的模型并为教育资源中心提供科学内容。 This online system addresses a critical need in science education to involve students more fully and authentically in scientific inquiry where they gain experience in exploring the unknown rather than confirming what is already known.This early stage design and development study is guided by three goals: 1) Develop an open-science citizen science platform for conducting human brain and behavior research in the classroom, 2) Develop a remote neuroscience Student-Teacher-Scientists (STS) partnership program for high schools, and 3）评估该计划的设计，开发和实施及其对学生和速滴会的影响。在开发该项目时，项目团队将链接两个快速新兴趋势，一个在科学教育中，一个在科学中。 与当前的科学教育优先事项一致，该项目将与学生及其老师进行真实的，积极的询问，通过使用它们来进行科学实践来进行真正的询问，以搜索知识的搜索是基于寻找原始问题的基于证据的答案。在科学方面，学生及其科学伙伴将通过预先登记研究并承诺在收集数据之前进行分析计划，从而参与开放的科学方法。在这个项目中，学生将主要使用反应时间和在线系统进行研究，其中包括研究自己的大脑功能。项目研究以三个研究问题为指导。在线公民神经科学STS平台如何影响学生对应用神经科学和实验设计概念的能力？ b）影响学生对科学的兴趣和态度，包括对科学职业和应用的认识？ c）影响教师对神经科学教学的态度以及基于询问的策略的使用？基于设计的研究方法将用于迭代设计可持续且可扩展的基于询问的神经科学课程，并作为设计合作伙伴。 Discovery Research Prek-12计划（DRK-12）试图通过研究和开发创新资源，模型和工具来显着增强PreK-12学生和教师的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。 DRK-12计划中的项目基于STEM教育和先前的研发工作的基础研究，为拟议项目提供了理论和经验的理由。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来进行评估的。
