Integrating the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences into AAAS Internet-based Education and Career Resources

美国科学促进会（AAAS）美国科学促进会将在现有的基于互联网的教育和职业资源套件中增加社会、行为和经济科学（SBE）的可见度。他们将把SBE问题和材料整合到：通过科学网络（SNL）为教师提供K-12教育材料，这是一个现有的网站，为所有年级和所有科学学科提供基于标准的内容；科学的下一波浪潮（SNW），为研究生、博士后和早期职业科学家提供的职业资源（很快将与ScienceCareers.org合并）；MiSciNet是就业网站的一个专门组成部分，旨在通过关注本科生和本科生到研究生的过渡，为少数族裔学生扩大机会。作为该项目的一部分，美国科学促进会将识别和审查现有的示范性在线SBE资源，以K-12教师可访问的格式对这些资源进行索引，创建总共44个针对特定SBE学习目标的原始课程和活动，并展示所有部门的教育途径和职业机会。该项目将解决两个关键领域对科学准确的社会、行为和经济科学材料的迫切需求：面向K-12教育工作者的教育电子资源和面向本科生、研究生、博士后和早期职业专业人员的职业发展资源。将社会、行为和经济科学整合到科学网络中，将增强能力、受众和基础设施，使SBE成为K-12教育中更明显的一部分。现有的SBE资源将被纳入AAAS网站，该网站目前每月吸引超过30万的用户访问。致力于促进科学、技术、工程和数学的参与，特别是女性和少数民族的参与，科学、技术、工程和数学的互联网网站的职业资源并不是重点。职业资源将专门为满足这些群体的需求而设计，并通过Next Wave和MiSciNet提供，每月有数千人使用。

SES- 0549096Shirley MalcolmAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)The American Association for the Advancement of Science will increase the visibility of the social, behavioral, and economic sciences (SBE) within the existing suite of Internet-based educational and career resources. They will integrate SBE issues and materials into: K-12 educational materials for teachers through Science NetLinks (SNL), an existing site that provides standards-based content for all grades levels and all science disciplines; Science's Next Wave (SNW), a career resource for graduate students, postdocs, and early career scientists (soon to be merged with ScienceCareers.org); and MiSciNet, a specialized component of the careers site aimed at expanding opportunities for minority students by focusing on the undergraduate years and on the undergraduate-to-graduate transition. As part of the project AAAS will identify and review existing exemplary online SBE resources, index these resources in an accessible format for K-12 teachers, create a total of 44 original lessons and activities targeted to specific SBE learning goals, and demonstrate the range of educational pathways and career opportunities in all sectors.This project will address the pressing need for scientifically accurate social, behavioral and economic sciences materials in two critical areas: education e-resources for use by K-12 educators and career development resources targeted to undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs and early career professionals..Broader Impact. The integration of the social, behavioral and economic sciences into Science NetLinks will enhance the capability, audience, and infrastructure to make SBE a more visible part of K-12 education. Existing SBE resources will be incorporated into the AAAS website, which currently attracts more than 300,000 user sessions each month. SBE careers resources have not been a focus of Internet sites devoted to promoting increased participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, especially among females and racial and ethnic minorities. Career resources will be specifically designed to meet the needs of these groups and made available via Next Wave and MiSciNet, which are utilized by thousands each month.
