Conference: The African Diaspora: Developing Black Scholars in Science Education for the 21st Century in the United States

本提案寻求支持一项会议/专题讨论会拨款，为从事科学教育的非裔美国教师提供一个与他们的学术同事互动的机会，并提高他们对科学教育领域正在进行的研究的了解。它提议召开一次会议/专题讨论会，发展一支由非裔美国人组成的科学教育师资队伍，研究围绕科学教学的问题。这些非裔美国教师骨干将制定研究议程，提交资助提案，并提交手稿供出版。本项目的总体目标是通过美国非裔美国科学教育者研究奖学金的教师发展来改善K-12的教学和学习。

This proposal seeks support for a conference/symposium grant to provide an opportunity for African American faculty members in science education to interact with their academic colleagues and enhance their knowledge of research being pursued in science education. It proposes to convene a conference/symposium to develop a cadre of African American science education faculty to research issues surrounding the teaching and learning of science. This cadre of African American faculty will develop a research agenda, submit grant proposals for funding, and submit manuscripts for publication. The overall goal of this project is to improve K-12 teaching and learning by faculty development of the research scholarship of African American science educators in the United States.
