Many educators in Science and Technology Studies (STS) are distributed across a wide range of institutions, disciplines, and home departments, and rarely find opportunities to engage other STS scholars interested in pedagogy. STS pedagogies may be used to help STS students further their education or career path, to help STEM students critically reflect on their assumptions about technological progress, and to help social science and humanities students critically interrogate information, media, and knowledge production. Regardless of the specific learning site and objective, important pragmatic questions remain about how to conduct STS pedagogy as a practice informed not only by STS theories and methods, but also by critical pedagogies from other traditions. This project will benefit society by developing and codifying effective STS pedagogical strategies and researching STS pedagogical interventions as sites of knowledge production and theoretical inquiry. It will also help to create a new mode of STS engagement and intervention through education and pedagogical research on STS teaching and learning in K-12, in college/university contexts, and in museum education and other public engagement arenas. In addition to scholarly articles, this project will result in a repository of publicly accessible STS teaching materials for a range of K-12 and higher education audiences.This project supports a two-day workshop on STS as critical pedagogy to bring together scholars and educators from a variety of educational contexts and disciplines that employ STS in their teaching. Project participants include individuals who teach and engage in STS work at teaching-oriented colleges and universities, K-12 contexts, and other institutions of educational engagement, such as science museums. Our goal is to create a new subfield within STS - 'STS as Critical Pedagogy' - that seriously considers STS pedagogies as learning interventions and areas of legitimate scholarly inquiry. This subfield will foreground pedagogy within STS and create a space in which pedagogical work can be rigorously theorized and assessed by a community of STS scholars. The two-day workshop will be held at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA in the summer of 2020. The timing of the workshop is oriented towards being as inclusive and accessible as possible to bring together a diverse group of individuals from a variety of institutional and teaching contexts. The workshop will be held over the summer months to accommodate individuals from teaching-oriented institutions, who might have significant course loads and teaching responsibilities, and otherwise might not be able to attend a meeting during the school year.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.

许多教育工作者在科学和技术研究（STS）分布在广泛的机构，学科和家庭部门，很少找到机会从事其他STS学者对教育学感兴趣。STS知识可以用来帮助STS学生进一步他们的教育或职业道路，帮助STEM学生批判性地反思他们对技术进步的假设，并帮助社会科学和人文科学的学生批判性地询问信息，媒体和知识生产。无论具体的学习地点和目标，重要的实用问题仍然是如何进行STS教学作为一种实践，不仅由STS理论和方法，但也从其他传统的批判性思维。该项目将通过制定和编纂有效的STS教学战略，并研究STS教学干预作为知识生产和理论探究的场所，造福社会。它还将有助于通过在K-12、学院/大学环境、博物馆教育和其他公众参与领域进行STS教学和学习的教育和教学研究，创造STS参与和干预的新模式。除了学术文章之外，该项目还将为K-12和高等教育的受众建立一个可公开访问的STS教材库。该项目支持为期两天的STS批判教学法研讨会，汇集来自各种教育背景和学科的学者和教育工作者，在他们的教学中使用STS。项目参与者包括在教学型学院和大学、K-12背景和其他教育参与机构（如科学博物馆）从事STS工作的个人。我们的目标是在STS中创建一个新的子领域-“STS作为批判教育学”-认真考虑STS教育学作为学习干预和合法的学术研究领域。这个子领域将突出STS中的教育学，并创造一个空间，在这个空间中，教育工作可以被严格的理论化，并由STS学者社区进行评估。为期两天的研讨会将于2020年夏天在弗吉尼亚州哈里森堡的詹姆斯麦迪逊大学举行。讲习班的时间安排旨在尽可能具有包容性和可访问性，以汇集来自各种机构和教学环境的不同群体的个人。该研讨会将在夏季举行，以容纳来自教学型机构的个人，他们可能有大量的课程和教学责任，否则可能无法在学年期间参加会议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
