Do teacher research experiences affect student outcomes in science?

该项目旨在确定教师开展的真实科学研究项目是否转化为学生更好的科学相关成果。20多年来，澳大利亚中学生对科学的理解和兴趣不断下降，为纠正这种情况而采取的措施收效甚微。该项目采用跨国多案例研究设计，计划产生关于提高教师科学素养和课堂实践的新知识，这些知识转化为提高学生对科学的理解和参与。这将通过有针对性的研究知情的教育战略，满足澳大利亚未来STEM劳动力的需求，提供显着的社会和经济效益。

This project aims to determine whether authentic scientific research projects undertaken by teachers translate into improved science-related outcomes for students. Measures to redress declining levels of understanding and interest in science among Australian secondary students over more than two decades have had little effect. Using a cross-national multiple case study design, the project plans to generate new knowledge about improving teachers’ scientific literacy and classroom practice that translates to improved student understanding of, and engagement with, science. This will afford significant social and economic benefits through targeted research-informed education strategies that meet the needs of Australia’s future STEM workforce.
