Kids' Survey Network: Developing and Studying an Apprenticeship Network for Informal Math and Science Learning

该项目将创建和研究儿童调查网络，作为一种新的、可复制的非正式学习模式（称为学徒网络）的范例。该项目将通过授权11-14岁的参与者开发调查项目来解决他们自己对当地社区问题的问题，从而发展未来学习者，工人和公民的数据素养。该项目的研究将阐明与学徒网络的设计和潜在影响有关的核心问题，包括社会和动机动态，社区和基于技术的脚手架，教育游戏类型和有效使用的条件。项目交付成果包括四个组成部分：（1）一个基于网络的实践社区;（2）一套共同工具;（3）一套学习游戏和教程;（4）以团队为基础的分层推进结构。Tertl Studios LLC和麻省理工学院的Education Arcade将开发学习游戏，SRI International将进行评估，领先的地区和国家非正式教育组织将提供测试平台，专业调查研究组织将提供技术和志愿者援助

This project will create and study Kids' Survey Network as an exemplar of a new, replicable model of informal learning called an apprenticeship network. The project will develop the data literacy of future learners, workers, and citizens by empowering participants aged 11-14 to develop survey projects to address their own questions about local community issues. Research on the project will illuminate core questions relating to the design and potential impact of the apprenticeship network, including social and motivational dynamics, community and technology-based scaffolding, educational game genres, and conditions of effective use. The project deliverables include four components: (1) a web-based community of practice; (2) a common set of tools; (3) a suite of learning games and tutorials; and (4) structures for tiered, team-based advancement. Tertl Studios LLC and MIT's Education Arcade will develop the learning games, SRI International will conduct the evaluation, leading regional and national informal education organizations will provide test bed sites, and professional survey research organizations will provide technical and volunteer assistance
