PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT American Indians are greatly underrepresented in medicine and health career fields, corresponding to a disproportionately low health status. Extensive research in K-12 STEM education confirms that student interest in science starts at an early age, but needs to be continually fostered throughout the middle and secondary school to attract students to science majors. An authentic research experience in a neuroscience laboratory has the capability to increase a teacher's capacity to create engaging, and meaningful learning environments that excite, support, and instill confidence in American Indian high school students, in an effort to help them overcome some of the obstacles they face on the path to entering science fields and becoming healthcare professionals. The Indians Into Medicine: Native Educator University Research Opportunity in Neuroscience (INMED: NERUOscience) is a comprehensive professional development program that is a collaborative effort drawing on the strengths of neuroscience researchers, education faculty, and American Indian support professionals, to provide a holistic approach that is both science-driven and culturally sensitive. INMED: NEUROscience aims to bring teachers in American Indian tribal middle and high schools together to: (1) conduct research in neuroscience laboratories to gain a deeper understanding of the process of science; (2) connect with each other for peer support, and with biomedical education faculty for pedagogical support; and (3) draw on the experience and resources of American Indian support professionals for social and cultural support. Together, these components will help teachers identify ways to effectively translate laboratory research into inquiry-based, engaging learning opportunities for students. The INMED: NEUROscience Research Education Plan revolves around a general theme of integrating the process of science knowledge and STEM learning concepts through an eight-week summer research experience in neuroscience. The research projects will expose teachers to the authentic use of the “scientific method” and research techniques, which will be followed-up by targeted science pedagogy training to create transformative learning activities. Teachers are provided with science content in an explicit manner in the lab, while growing their pedagogical knowledge and skills as they create, implement, and reflect on their lesson plans in the classroom. The evaluation plan incorporates many aspects that examine both explicit and embedded content delivery methods. Data collection includes questionnaires, teaching demonstrations, direct observations, lesson plan evaluation, and informal discussions. Overall, the program will promote teachers' effective implementation of the process of science into their classrooms, leading to inquiry-based science courses, which foster academic achievement and afford students a greater opportunity to seek out careers in science and health care. Results of this program will add to the understanding of effective science professional development experiences for teachers of diverse learners.

项目概要/摘要 美洲印第安人在医学和健康职业领域的代表性严重不足，对应于 健康状况极低。对 K-12 STEM 教育的广泛研究证实，学生的兴趣 科学素养从小就开始，但需要在中学和中学阶段不断培养 学校吸引学生选择理科专业。神经科学实验室的真实研究体验 有能力提高教师创造引人入胜且有意义的学习环境的能力 激发、支持和灌输美国印第安高中学生的信心，努力帮助他们 克服他们在进入科学领域和成为医疗保健领域所面临的一些障碍 专业人士。印第安人进入医学：本土教育大学神经科学研究机会 （INMED：NERUOscience）是一项综合性专业发展计划，是一项协作努力 借助神经科学研究人员、教育工作者和美洲印第安人支持的优势 专业人员，提供既科学驱动又具有文化敏感性的整体方法。内科医学： NEUROscience 旨在将美洲印第安部落初中和高中的教师聚集在一起：(1) 在神经科学实验室进行研究，以更深入地了解科学过程； (2) 相互联系以获得同伴支持，并与生物医学教育教师联系以获得教学支持；和 (3) 借鉴美洲印第安人社会文化支持专业人员的经验和资源 支持。这些组成部分将帮助教师找到有效翻译实验室的方法 研究为学生提供基于探究的、吸引人的学习机会。 INMED：神经科学 研究教育计划围绕整合科学知识过程的总主题 通过为期八周的夏季神经科学研究经验学习 STEM 概念。这 研究项目将使教师接触到“科学方法”和研究技术的真实运用， 随后将进行有针对性的科学教育学培训，以开展变革性学习活动。 教师在实验室中以明确的方式获得科学内容，同时提高他们的教学能力 他们在课堂上制定、实施和反思课程计划时所掌握的知识和技能。这 评估计划包含许多方面，检查显式和嵌入式内容交付 方法。数据收集包括问卷、教学演示、直接观察、教案 评估和非正式讨论。总体而言，该计划将促进教师有效实施 将科学带入课堂的过程，从而形成基于探究的科学课程，从而促进学术发展 成就并为学生提供更多机会寻求科学和医疗保健方面的职业。结果 该计划将增加对有效科学专业发展经验的理解 不同学习者的教师。
