How Do I Learn: Neurosciences Advances Inform Learning

描述（申请人提供）：华盛顿大学护理学院教育学院-生活中心（在正式和非正式环境中学习）和大学的教育外展中心与神经科学咨询委员会协商，正在与普吉特海湾教育服务区（PSESD）合作开展这个项目，该项目将吸引中学科学教师，在一个创新的神经科学教育项目中，学生和家长/社区团体专注于回答以下问题：“我如何学习？以及“我如何教学生如何学习？”“这个令人兴奋和创新的项目，我如何学习：神经科学进步通知学习将利用神经科学研究，以加强教学和学习，并刺激学生在神经科学的职业追求。该项目不是为已经人满为患的学年制定课程，而是为教师提供教学技能，使他们能够在目前教授的任何科目中使用。它将使学生更多地了解他们是如何学习的，并将为家长和其他感兴趣的社区团体提供支持学习所需的知识。我如何学习有三个目标，针对三个不同的群体：中学教师，学生和他们的家庭/社区。教师的目标是增加他们对与学习相关的神经科学研究的知识，以及他们对认知学习模型、相关教学资源和教学技能的使用。学生的目标是扩大他们对大脑和学习，研究过程和神经科学职业的知识。对于家长和社区团体来说，目标是增加他们接触与学习有关的神经科学主题的机会。为了提高教师的知识和技能，该团队将提供暑期学院（SI）和在线专业学习社区（PLC）。来自SI和PLC的信息将构成UW Extension主办的免费在线课程的基础，该课程将在项目的五年内开发。学生将受益于他们的教师开发的技能，并将参加一个旨在利用他们对神经认知和神经科学职业的理解的在线项目。家长和其他团体将被邀请参加SI/PLC活动的选定方面，并将有一个专门的网站，其中有关学习和神经科学职业的翻译信息将被突出显示。NIH资助的神经科学家通过神经科学咨询委员会参与SI和PLC等活动。三个UW部门，神经科学咨询委员会和普吉特海湾教育服务区的强大成功的合作伙伴关系确保了我如何学习将促进教育和神经科学事业。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of Washington's School of Nursing, School of Education - LIFE Center (Learning in Formal & Informal Environments) and the University's Educational Outreach Center in consultation with the Neuroscience Advisory Committee are collaborating with the Puget Sound Educational Service District (PSESD) in this project which will engage middle school science teachers, students and parents/community groups in an innovative program of neuroscience education focused on answering the questions, "How do I learn?" and "How do I teach students about how they learn?" This exciting and innovative project, How Do I Learn: Neuroscience Advances Inform Learning will utilize neuroscience research to enhance teaching and learning and to stimulate students to pursue in careers in neuroscience. Rather than develop curriculum for an already overcrowded school year, this project will equip teachers with teaching skills that they can use with any subject they currently teach. It will engage students in understanding more about how they learn, and will give parents and other interested community groups the knowledge they need to support learning. There are three goals for How Do I Learn that target three different groups: middle school teachers, students and their families/communities. The goal for teachers is to increase their knowledge of neuroscience research related to learning and their use of cognitive learning models, related teaching resources, and pedagogical skills. The student goal is to broaden their knowledge of the brain and learning, of research processes, and of neuroscience careers. For parents and community groups the goal is to increase their access to neuroscience topics related to learning. To enhance teacher knowledge and skills the team will offer a Summer Institute (SI) and online Professional Learning Community (PLC). Information from both the SI and PLC will form the basis for a free online course hosted by UW Extension that will be developed over the five years of the project. Students will benefit from the skills their teachers develop and will also participate in an online project designed to use their understandings of neuro-cognition and of neuroscience careers. Parents and other groups will be invited to participate in selected aspects of the SI/PLC activities, and will have a devoted web location where translated information about neuroscience related to learning and neuroscience careers will be highlighted. NIH-funded neuroscientists are involved via the Neuroscience Advisory Committee and participation in activities such as the SI and PLC. The strong successful partnership of three UW departments, the neuroscience advisory committee, and the Puget Sound Educational Service district assures that How Do I Learn will advance both education and neuroscience careers.
