New, GK-12 SUNRISE: Schools, University 'N' (and) Resources In the Sciences and Engineering-A NSF/GMU GK-12 Fellows Project

提案#：0638680PI：Rajesh Ganesan InstitUTION：George Mason University TITLE：Calculating New，GK-12《朝阳：科学与工程日出中的学校、大学和资源》是一个新的GK-12项目，由乔治梅森大学的STEM研究生与弗吉尼亚州三个不同学区的4-6年级教师合作完成。该项目的目标是在教师、学校管理人员和参与的大学之间建立一种独特的合作模式，以促进系统地努力将信息技术丰富的内容-知识落实到K-12教育中。通过GPS、纳米技术和海洋学等当代领域的科学主题来支持这一点，并通过课堂上的动手实验将其带入课堂。这个项目的智力价值在于，创造性的信息技术主题为参与者提供了多层次的学习体验，促进了对科学主题的知识和促进专业发展。这是通过构建一个框架来实现的，该框架提供培训和智力思想交流，并整合来自不同学科的科学研究。它为参与者提供了在自己的领域内发现、拓宽和深化知识的机会，以及通过GK-12研究生研究员提供这些知识的机制。该项目的更广泛影响包括为研究员提供职业发展机会，以加强他们的教学和沟通技能。该项目为国家科学劳动力的质量和数量的持续增长提供了潜力。研究和教育的结合以及所有利益攸关方的能力建设提供了许多极好的可能性和机构文化变革，从而改变了K-12和研究生教育。该项目还通过将重点放在来自代表性不足人口的研究员和K-12学生上，支持鼓励科学领域的不同人口。

PROPOSAL #:0638680PI: Rajesh GanesanINSTITUTION: George Mason UniversityTITLE: Computation New, GK-12 SUNRISE: Schools, University, and Resources in the Sciences and Engineering SUNRISE is a new GK-12 project partnering STEM graduate students from George Mason University with teachers in grades 4-6 from three different school divisions in the state of Virginia. The objective of the project is to build a unique model of collaboration among teachers, school administrators, and the participating university to foster systemic efforts in implementing information technology rich content-knowledge into K-12 education. This is supported through science topics from contemporary areas such as GPS, nanotechnology, and oceanography and is brought into the classroom through lessons with hands-on experiments. The intellectual merit of this project is that creative information technology theme provides participants with a multi-level learning experience that advances knowledge of science topics and fosters professional development. This is achieved by constructing a framework that provides training and exchange of intellectual ideas, and integrates scientific research from diverse disciplines. It provides participants with an opportunity to discover, widen, and deepen knowledge within their own field as well as a mechanism to deliver that knowledge through the GK-12 graduate fellows. The broader impacts of the project include professional development opportunities for Fellows that strengthen their instructional and communication skills. The project offers the potential for sustained growth in quality and quantity of the nation's scientific workforce. The integration of research and education as well as the building of capacity of all the stakeholders offers many excellent possibilities and institutional culture change that transforms K-12 and graduate education. The project also supports the encouragement of diverse populations in the sciences through a focus on fellows and K-12 students from underrepresented populations.
