Lane County School Districts and University of Oregon Partnership to Enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education

这个GK-12项目支持俄勒冈大学物理系和化学系的研究员在莱恩县农村学区与K-12年级的学生一起开展教育活动。每年资助11名研究生和2名高级本科生。主题是动手体验、基于探究的学习，以及对K-8儿童来说，创造性地使用“儿童科学和技术”科学工具包。该项目的智力价值包括让研究员有机会与教师合作，教师帮助他们发展有效的教学技能，同时磨练他们自己对数学和科学的理解。更广泛的影响是对学校的帮助，因为它们将试剂盒改装成符合国家科学标准的用途。这个项目得到了数学和物理科学理事会的部分支持项目标题：加强科学、技术、工程和数学教育的伙伴关系机构：俄勒冈大学PI/联合PI：David Johnson，Dean Livelybrooks，Caroline Page，David Tyler合作伙伴学区：莱恩县资助：三年共1,490,824美元/年研究员数量：11名毕业生，2名本科生设置：乡村目标受众：K-12 NSF支持的学科涉及：化学、物理和数学

This GK-12 project supports fellows at the University of Oregon, from the departments of Physics and Chemistry, for educational activities with grade K-12 students in the rural Lane County school districts. Eleven graduate students and two advanced undergraduates are supported per year. The themes are hands-on experience, inquiry-based learning, and, for K-8, the creative use of "Science and Technology for Children" science kits. The intellectual merit of this project includes the opportunity for the Fellows to work with teachers who help them develop effective teaching skills while honing their own understanding of mathematics and the sciences. The broader impact is the help given to the schools as they adapt the kits for uses consistent with the state science standards.
