Planning Meeting to Organize K-12 Science Around Core Ideas

NRC科学教育委员会(BOSE)的这一快速项目建议召开一次为期一天半的国家专家研讨会，以制定一个概念框架，说明如何围绕有限的核心科学思想重塑科学标准，以便为科学教育工作者和政策制定者确立内容优先事项。研讨会将把对儿童学习的研究纳入到新的概念框架中，这些研究来自于NRC的几项综合研究。这一系列研究以及受委托的研讨会论文将构成研讨会的背景材料。参与者将包括科学家、学习型科学家、科学教育工作者以及熟悉实践和政策的人。该研讨会与国家科学教师协会(NSTA)科学锚项目最近发起的一项努力有关。

This RAPID project from the NRC's Board on Science Education (BOSE) proposes to convene a day and one-half long workshop of national experts to develop a conceptual framework for how to recast science standards around a limited set of core scientific ideas in order to establish content priority for science educators and policymakers. The workshop will integrate reserach on children's learning, drawn from several NRC synthesis studies, into the new conceptual framework. This body of research, along with commissioned workshop papers will form the background materials for the workshop. Participants will include scientists, learning scientists, science educators and those familiar with practice and policy. The workshop is tied to a recently initiated effort of the National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Science Anchors project.
