This project aims to serve the national interest by providing national leadership in science education pre-K through adulthood within informal and formal settings (K-16). The overarching goal is to advance efforts to better understand and promote practices that increase student motivations and capacities to pursue careers in fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. Through consensus studies, workshops, and other public meetings, coupled with innovative approaches to communication and stakeholder engagement, the Board on Science Education leverages NSF's investments in research to draw out relevant guidance and communicate it to a broad audience. This work is designed to bridge the gap between research and practice, and to identify the most pressing challenges for policy, practice, and research. These efforts aim to improve the agenda for STEM education research, the value of such research, and its translation into guidelines for educational practice and policy. The activities of the Board on Science Education at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine seek to: improve the knowledge base for science education by charting the frontiers for research on science education; identify critical issues in science education policy and practice and provide evidence-based strategies for addressing them; narrow the gap between science education research and practice by translating research into evidence-based guidelines for practice and disseminating them; and develop the intersection of science and science education by building an interdisciplinary community of scholars whose expertise can be brought to bear on current issues in research, policy and practice. The Board on Science Education plays a leadership role in providing evidence-based guidance for policy and practice that synthesizes across multiple lines of research. In addition, the board identifies areas where evidence is missing or weak, thereby laying out the road map for future research. This project is supported through the NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education Program: Education and Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) and the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) Programs.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.

该项目旨在通过在非正式和正式环境（K-16）中为学前至成年期的科学教育提供国家领导力来服务于国家利益。 总体目标是推进努力，更好地理解和促进实践，提高学生的动机和能力，追求在科学，技术，工程或数学领域的职业生涯。 通过共识研究，研讨会和其他公开会议，再加上创新的沟通方法和利益相关者的参与，科学教育委员会利用NSF在研究方面的投资，制定相关的指导方针，并将其传达给广大受众。这项工作旨在弥合研究与实践之间的差距，并确定政策、实践和研究面临的最紧迫挑战。这些努力旨在改善STEM教育研究的议程，这种研究的价值，并将其转化为教育实践和政策的指导方针。国家科学院、工程院和医学院科学教育委员会的活动旨在：通过规划科学教育研究的前沿，改善科学教育的知识基础;确定科学教育政策和实践中的关键问题，并提供解决这些问题的循证战略;通过将研究成果转化为循证实践指南并加以传播，缩小科学教育研究与实践之间的差距;通过建立一个跨学科的学者群体，发展科学与科学教育的交叉点，这些学者的专门知识可以用于研究、政策和实践中的当前问题。科学教育委员会在为政策和实践提供基于证据的指导方面发挥着领导作用，这些政策和实践综合了多个研究领域。此外，委员会还确定了证据缺失或薄弱的领域，从而为未来的研究制定了路线图。该项目通过NSF改善本科STEM教育计划：教育和人力资源（IUSE：EHR）和学生和教师创新技术体验（ITEST）计划获得支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并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，被认为值得支持。
