The Rising Tide Project: Changing How University Researchers and Secondary Educators Work Together

摘要涨潮项目：改变大学研究人员和中学教育工作者的合作方式涨潮项目通过使研究人员和教育工作者之间的合作成为常态，而不是例外，提高了地方一级的科学意识和信心。教师/学生团队，每个由一名当地高中教师和一名沿海卡罗莱纳大学（CCU）的本科生组成，与CCU海洋科学教师导师一起开展夏季研究项目。每个小组都参加一个不同的当地海洋相关研究项目。使用的方法和数据，从其研究经验，每个团队设计本地相关的发现和调查为基础的课堂活动，高中学生。活动以基于网络的形式设计，在课堂上进行测试和评估，并纳入南卡罗来纳州水族馆的网站，在那里它们成为水族馆全州水产课程的一部分。 该计划的目标是提高当地高中科学教师的科学能力，并使当地高中科学教师通过纳入基于当地相关科学研究的课堂活动来激励他们的课堂，这些科学研究在教学上是合理的，并符合国家和州标准。

ABSTRACTThe Rising Tide Project: Changing How University Researchers and Secondary Educators Work TogetherThe Rising Tide Project raises the level of scientific awareness and confidence on a local level by making collaboration between researchers and educators the norm, rather than the exception. Teacher/student teams, each consisting of one local high school teacher and one Coastal Carolina University (CCU) undergraduate, work with CCU marine science faculty mentors on summer research projects. Each team participates in a different local marine-related research project. Using the methodology and data from its research experience, each team designs locally relevant discovery and inquiry based classroom activities for high school students. Activities are designed in a web-based format, tested and assessed in the classroom, and incorporated into the South Carolina Aquarium's web site where they become part of the Aquarium's statewide aquatic curriculum. The goals of this program are to improve the scientific competence of local high school science teachers and enable local high school science teachers to motivate their classrooms by incorporating classroom activities based on locally relevant scientific research that is pedagogically sound and is consistent with national and state standards.
