Establishing a Partnership Laboratory

该PFSMETE启动补助金提案的目标是在UCSF SEP的框架内建立一个合作实验室，该实验室将发现并建立有关科学和教育界之间的合作如何改善和阐明K-20+科学教育的知识。这个合作实验室将不是一个单独的、独立的实体，而是一个学术研究和评估工作，与公共教育部现有的科学教育专业发展和合作计划相结合，从而使合作研究工作制度化。建立伙伴关系实验室的两个主要目标是：通过扩展和转变PFSMETE发起的伙伴关系研究，建立科学家-教师伙伴关系的知识，I）分析科学家-教师伙伴关系成果与不同伙伴关系方案模式之间的相关性，2）开始调查K-12学生的成果，从科学家-教师伙伴关系，以及3）研究伙伴关系经验对科学家和教师职业轨迹的影响。通过以下方式培养伙伴关系研究社区：1）成立伙伴关系合作研究小组，由从事持续伙伴关系行动研究的资深SEP科学家和教师组成，2）邀请科学和教育研究领域的学者和从业者担任伙伴关系研究顾问，以及3）召集伙伴关系合作研究小组成员，伙伴关系研究顾问，和SEP的工作人员每半年在研究务虚会分析研究问题，方法策略，数据分析，并解释fmdings。这一努力不仅将导致建立一个合作实验室，而且还将开始建立一个K-20+教育合作伙伴关系的学术学科，研究教师和从业者之间的合作，以提高所有学生的学科领域教育的质量和真实性。此外，尽管拟议的努力具体侧重于科学教育伙伴关系，但它们有可能为许多学科的伙伴关系提供信息和促进其发展。因此，这些科学家-教师伙伴关系的研究将引起国家的兴趣，这些努力的文件和研究结果的综合将通过在科学和教育会议上的介绍来传播，最终目标是在期刊文章中发表并汇编成伙伴关系手册。

The goal of this PFSMETE Start-Up Grant proposal is to establish a Partnership Laboratory within the framework of the UCSF SEP that will make discoveries and build knowledge about how collaborations between the scientific and education communities can improve and articulate K-20+ science education. This Partnership Laboratory will not be a separate, independent entity, but rather a scholarly research and evaluation effort integrated with SEP's existing professional development and partnership programs in science education, thereby institutionalizing partnership research efforts. The two major goals of establishing a Partnership Laboratory are: To build knowledge of scientist-teacher partnership by expanding and transforming PFSMETE-initiated partnership research by I) analyzing the correlation between scientist- teacher partnership outcomes and different programmatic models of partnership, 2) beginning an investigation of K-12 student outcomes that result from scientist-teacher partnerships, and 3) examining the influence of partnership experiences on the career trajectories of scientists and teachers. To cultivate a partnership research community by 1) founding a Partnership Collaborative Inquiry Group of veteran SEP scientists and teachers who engage in on-going partnership action research, 2) involving scholars and practitioners from the fields of science and education research as Partnership Research Advisors, and 3) convening Partnership Collaborative Inquiry Group members, Partnership Research Advisors, and the SEP Staff semi- annually at Research Retreats to analyze research questions, methodological strategies, data analysis, and interpretation of fmdings. The effort will not only result in the establishment of a Partnership Laboratory, but also begin to build an academic discipline ofK-20+ Education Partnership, the study of collaboration between teachers and practitioners to increase the quality and authenticity of subject area education for all students. In addition, although the proposed efforts are focused on science education partnerships specifically, they have the potential for informing and promoting the development of partnerships in many disciplines. As such, these studies of scientist-teacher partnership will be of national interest, and documentation of these efforts and synthesis of fmdings will be disseminated through presentation at scientific and educational conferences, with the eventual goal of publication in journal articles and compilation into a partnership handbook.
