项目摘要

Classroom Hangouts with Spacelink Experts and STFC Scientists: to extend and develop outreach and communication between the space science and the education communities.Google Hangouts will be used as a digital vehicle to facilitate communication and contact between schools and scientists from different areas to achieve the following aims:1. Digital bridging of the Scientific and Education Communities: the Google+ platform offers the opportunity to broadcast webinars, or 'Hangouts on Air', to an unlimited online audience. Hangouts allow up to 9 active participants to interact through audio and video while anybody watching the Hangouts live on the Google+ page can submit questions via a chat SMS interface. 'Hangouts on Air' live broadcasts are also archived automatically as a video on YouTube. 2. Bringing school and scientific communities together and enabling the exchange of ideas and information between and amongst them. As well as facilitating the sharing of learning amongst schools, Hangouts will be used as a digital vehicle to facilitate communication and contact between scientists from different areas. These will include the Rosetta Mission (with input from the UK scientists involved in the mission's instruments and the ground based observing campaign), Gaia (with support from ESERO), space & climate physics including sun activity (with support from Dr Lucie Green and MSSL), planetary studies (with input from Dr Sheila Kanani), life in space (with input from Dr Helen Sharman).3. Enthusing and educating young people about space and science by enabling them to talk directly to scientists in a wide range of space-related activities and question them about the mysteries they are exploring and their emerging discoveries.4. Inspiring them to take STEM subjects throughout school and beyond, and to aspire to STEM-related careers: the range of expert speakers and topics covered will demonstrate how space studies can relate to life on earth and the importance of science and engineering to everything we depend on for the lives we wish to live.5. Inspiring girls in particular to take STEM subjects and go into science and engineering careers, using female scientists as role models. Spacelink's own team includes Dr Helen Sharman, a chemist and the first British astronaut to go into space; Dr Lucie Green, a space and climate physicist specialising in sun activity; and Dr Sheila Kanani, a planetary scientist and inspiring "space comedian" presenter. 6. Targeting primary schools as well as secondary schools to capture and embed interest during Key Stage 2. Research has shown that whereas student interest in science has been high and with little gender difference at age 10, interest drops, particularly amongst girls, by age 14, and students who have not already formed an expectation of pursuing higher level science studies are very unlikely to develop science-related aspirations after age 14. The majority of primary school teachers are not science specialists, so supportive resources and opportunities to draw on the experience of others will provide a particularly welcome stimulus for them in preparing STEM lessons. The pilot and initial rollout year will allow us to gather experience and knowledge about how to run Hangout sessions to bring Space Experts into UK classrooms. We very much hope to be able to develop and mainstream the project further in future years, and may wish to apply for further funding from STFC to this end.
与Spacelink专家和STFC科学家的课堂群聊:扩大和发展空间科学和教育界之间的联系和沟通。Google Hangouts将被用作数字工具,促进来自不同领域的学校和科学家之间的沟通和联系,以实现以下目标:1.科学和教育社区的数字桥梁:Google+平台提供了向无限在线观众播放网络研讨会或“空中环聊”的机会。Hangouts允许最多9名活跃参与者通过音频和视频进行互动,而在Google+页面上观看Hangouts直播的任何人都可以通过聊天短信界面提交问题。“空中环聊”的直播也会自动存档为YouTube上的视频。2.将学校和科学界联系在一起,使他们之间能够交流思想和信息。除了促进学校之间的学习共享外,Hangouts还将被用作数字工具,以促进来自不同领域的科学家之间的沟通和联系。这些项目将包括罗塞塔使命(由参与使命仪器和地面观测活动的英国科学家提供投入)、盖亚(由欧洲空间研究组织提供支持)、包括太阳活动在内的空间和气候物理学(由露西绿色博士和MSSL提供支持)、行星研究(由希拉·卡纳尼博士提供投入)、空间生命(由海伦·沙曼博士提供投入)。通过使青年人能够直接与从事各种空间相关活动的科学家交谈,向他们询问他们正在探索的奥秘和正在出现的问题,激发青年人对空间和科学的热情并对他们进行教育。鼓励他们在整个学校及以后学习STEM科目,并渴望从事与STEM相关的职业:所涵盖的专家演讲者和主题的范围将展示空间研究如何与地球上的生命相关,以及科学和工程对我们希望生活所依赖的一切的重要性。特别鼓励女孩学习STEM科目,进入科学和工程职业,以女科学家为榜样。Spacelink自己的团队包括化学家、第一位进入太空的英国宇航员海伦·沙曼博士;专门研究太阳活动的空间和气候物理学家露西·绿色博士;行星科学家、鼓舞人心的“太空喜剧演员”主持人希拉·卡纳尼博士。6.针对小学以及中学捕捉和嵌入在关键阶段2的兴趣。研究表明,虽然学生对科学的兴趣一直很高,10岁时的性别差异很小,但到14岁时,兴趣下降,特别是女孩,还没有形成追求更高水平科学研究的期望的学生,在14岁之后不太可能发展与科学有关的愿望。大多数小学教师不是科学专家,因此支持性资源和借鉴他人经验的机会将为他们准备STEM课程提供特别受欢迎的刺激。试点和首次推出的一年将使我们能够收集有关如何运行环聊会议的经验和知识,将太空专家带入英国课堂。我们非常希望能够在未来几年进一步发展和主流化该项目,并可能希望为此向STFC申请更多资金。
