Korea-USA 2006 Forum for Attracting Gifted/Talented Students into Science and Engineering

吸引科学和工程领域的天才学生的韩美论坛该奖项资助14名美国STEM教育研究人员参加2006年6月28日至30日在韩国首尔举行的双边研讨会，讨论吸引天才学生进入科学和工程领域的相关障碍。该讲习班的目的是就该领域目前的研究交流意见，并比较各国鼓励年轻学生进入科学和工程职业的教育政策的优点。美国首席代表是科罗拉多矿业大学的切斯特•范•泰恩教授，韩国首席组织者是高丽技术教育大学研究生院院长金光善教授。该研讨会得到了韩国科学财团的共同资助。与许多国家一样，美国和韩国在吸引优秀学生进入科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域方面面临着非常相似的挑战。研讨会将比较不同文化背景下的最佳实践研究，并汇集各国专家，以确定吸引有天赋和才华的年轻人从事STEM职业的新方法。该研讨会将促进新一代学者对这一主题的研究，并为确保未来充足的科学家和工程师供应提供政策信息。

OISE-0632109Korea-US Forum for Attracting Gifted/Talented Students in Science and EngineeringChester Van TyneColorado School of MinesPublic AbstractThis award funds the participation of fourteen U.S. STEM education researchers to a bilateral workshop June 28-30, 2006 in Seoul, South Korea, to discuss barriers associated with attracting gifted and talented students to science and engineering. The workshop is designed to exchange ideas on current research in the field and compare the merits of educational policies that encourage young students to enter science and engineering careers in each country. The U.S. PI is Professor Chester Van Tyne of the Colorado School of Mines and the lead organizer in Korea is Professor Kwang Sun Kim, Dean of the Graduate School, Korea University of Technology and Education. The workshop has secured co-funding from the Korean Science and Engineering Foundation. The United States and South Korea face very similar challenges, as do many countries, in attracting bright students into science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers. The workshop will compare best practices research in each cultural context and bring together experts from each country to identify new and diverse approaches to attracting gifted and talented young people to STEM careers. The workshop will catalyze research on this topic among a new generation of scholars and inform policy for securing an adequate future supply of scientists and engineers.
