研究生教学研究员在K-12教育（GK-12）摘要提案#：0742475 PI：凯瑟琳Marrs机构：印第安纳州大学普渡大学标题：在IUPUI GK-12城市教育家计划：通过研究教学和学习科学NSF支持的STEM学科：生物，化学，物理，数学，地球科学这个项目结合了IUPUI科学学院（SOS）和印第安纳州大学医学院（IUSM）的研究和教学优势。当地教师要求为6-12年级的儿童提供基于探究的STEM实验室体验。选定的城市合作学校在医学或环境教育方面具有核心竞争力。研究员将与中学科学或数学教师合作，进行专业发展，以开发适合年级的研究活动。创新方面包括分层研究项目的发展，通过几个年级的复杂性，与学生的相关性的主题？s的生活。预期成果包括加强研究员的研究、教学、领导和沟通技能。对科学教师的好处包括专业发展的机会，与GK-12研究员和大学教师的合作，并有机会让他们的学生从事科学研究。初中和高中学生的目标包括接触导师和榜样，体验研究的机会，以及接触科学和数学作为令人兴奋和理想的职业选择。 通过设计STEM研究生研究人员，教师和STEM教师之间的协作，多样化的伙伴关系，该项目使我们能够将基于研究的活动整合到中学科学和数学的教学中，扩大多元化的内城学生团体参与研究，并加强IUPUI与当地社区之间的现有联系。

Graduate Teaching Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12)AbstractProposal #: 0742475PI: Kathleen MarrsInstitution: Indiana University-Purdue UniversityTitle: The GK-12 Urban Educators Program at IUPUI: Teaching and Learning Science through ResearchNSF-supported STEM disciplines: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, Earth Sciences This project combines the research and teaching strengths of the IUPUI School of Science (SOS) and the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) with requests by local teachers for inquiry-based STEM laboratory experiences for children in grades 6-12. The selected urban partner schools have core competences in medical or environmental education. The fellows will collaborate with a secondary science or math teacher in ongoing professional development to develop grade-appropriate research activities. Innovative aspects include development of layered research projects that build in complexity through several grade levels, with a theme of relevance to student?s lives. Expected outcomes include enhanced research, teaching, leadership and communication skills of the fellows. Benefits to science teachers include opportunities for professional development, collaboration with GK-12 fellows and university faculty, and opportunities to engage their students in scientific research. Goals for middle and high school students include exposure to mentors and role models, opportunities to experience research, and exposure to science and math as exciting and desirable career options. By designing a collaborative, diverse partnership between STEM graduate researchers, faculty and STEM teachers, this project allows us to integrate research-based activities into the teaching and learning of secondary science and math, broaden the involvement and participation of a diverse inner-city student body in research, and strengthen existing ties between IUPUI and the local community.
