Using Geoscience Data Sets to Promote Access Inquiry

利用地球科学数据集促进信息查询SRI国际学习技术中心和协和联盟正在研究以网络为基础的补充地球科学课程模块对学生学习的影响。中学生正在参与针对两个被忽视的地球科学教育标准的项目：系统知识和探究。正在结合地球科学家、科学教育工作者、研究人员和评估专家的专业知识开发数据集。使用地球系统科学的方法，学生解释和分析数据集和可视化，并交流他们的发现。正在开发旨在提高地球科学知识和探究技能的设计原则、规格模板和原型样本。这些都是地球科学教育领域的典范，并将为进一步的资源开发奠定基础。补充课程模块的项目评估和设计方案正在扩大地球科学教育工作者可利用的资源范围。

Using Geoscience Data Sets to Promote Access Inquiry The Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International and the Concord Consortium are studying the impact on student learning of Web-based supplementary geoscience curriculum modules. Secondary- level students are participating in projects that address two neglected geoscience education standards: system knowledge and inquiry. Data sets are being developed with the combined expertise of geoscientists, science educators, researchers, and assessment specialists. Using an Earth System Science approach, students are interpreting and analyzing the data sets and visualizations, and communicating their findings. Design principles, specification templates, and prototype exemplars designed to improve geoscience knowledge and inquiry skills are being developed. These are serving as models for the geoscience education field and will lay the foundation for further resource development. Project assessments and design scenarios that supplement the curriculum modules are expanding the repertoire of resources available to geoscience educators.
