Track 2: Diversity in Geosciences: Development of a Pipeline for Native American Students

议题二：地球科学的多样性：为美洲原住民学生提供“管道”的发展这个为期四年的“管道”的目标是为美洲原住民学生在中学和大学阶段发展地球科学研究和教育机会。这个“管道”有三个主要组成部分。一项针对7-12年级印第安学生的教育和研究充实计划将把土著知识融入地球科学，并为在印第安学生比例高的学校工作的教师提供研究经验。本科地球科学入门课程将土著知识整合到地球科学中，使用美洲土著艺术作为学习工具，并承认美洲土著学生的学习方式。一个实习项目将为美国土著学生提供地球科学方面的研究实习机会。这项针对7-12年级美国原住民学生的强化计划，由美国原住民研究项目和俄亥俄州立大学地球科学学院合作开展，包括：a)在俄亥俄州立大学为大约100名美国原住民学生举办为期一天的地球科学研讨会，包括小组讨论、动手实验、职业道路讨论和为期一天的科学博览会；B)针对学校、家长、部落长老、社区领袖和公众的地球科学教育和推广计划；c)地球科学美国印第安人数学与科学协会的夏季研究所，15至30名参与者参加为期一周的两次夏季会议。本科地球科学入门课程遵循地球系统科学的方法，包括“与地球的联系”主题。研究实习项目为美国原住民学生提供了在地理、地质学和气象学领域从事地球科学研究前沿工作的机会。大学将在拨款结束后，为一名外联协调员提供为期两年的资助，资助金额为全职工作人员的50%，以维持项目。

Track 2: Diversity in Geosciences: Development of a "Pipeline"for Native American StudentsThe objective of the four-year "pipeline" is to develop geosciences research and educational opportunities for Native American students at both the secondary and college levels. This "pipeline" has three major components. An education and research enrichment program for 7-12th grade Native American students will integrate indigenous knowledge into the geosciences and provide research experiences for teachers who work in schools with a high percentage of Native American students. An introductory undergraduate geoscience course will integrate indigenous knowledge into the geosciences, use Native American Art as a vehicle of learning, and acknowledge the learning styles of Native American students. An internship program will provide research internship opportunities in the geosciences to Native American students. The enrichment program for 7-12th grade Native American students, operated cooperatively by the Native American Studies program and the College of Geosciences at OU, includes: a) a one-day geoscience workshop at OU for approximately 100 Native American students featuring group discussions, hands-on laboratories, a discussion of career paths, and a one-day science fair; b) geoscience education and outreach programs for schools, parents, tribal elders, community leaders, and the general public; and c) the Geosciences American Indian Math and Science Society's summer Research Institute for 15 to 30 participants in two one-week summer sessions. The introductory undergraduate geoscience course follows an Earth Systems Science approach and includes a "connectedness with the planet" theme. The research internship program provides opportunities for Native American students to work at the forefront of geosciences research with faculty in geography, geology, and meteorology. The University will provide funding for an Outreach Coordinator for two years at 50% FTE after the grant has ended to sustain the project.
