Collaborative Research: Linking Researchers and Graduate Students through COSEE Tools & Services

这项提案将使用2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(公法111-5)提供的资金授予。该奖项提供资金，用于举办旨在改善科学家更广泛影响工作的研讨会。通过专业发展研讨会，科学家-研究生团队将制作基于？海洋素养？的互动材料。然后呢？气候知识？可以为不同的受众专门设计的原则。该项目的主要目标受众是参加项目研讨会的研究科学家和研究生。通过团队建设和COSEE推动的长期联系，该项目将为研究人员和研究生提供持续的专业发展培训机会，从而加深对教学内容的理解和/或对教学的信心。次要受众是将从项目成果中受益的在线用户：即作为这一努力的一部分开发的交互式海洋气候内容和以用户为中心的数据工具。参与的COSEE中心将收集和评估目标受众的学习和互动数据。这些评估结果将用于改进整个项目的方法、研讨会模式和最终的在线产品。

This proposal will be awarded using funds made available by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).This award provides funds to conduct workshops aimed at improving the broader impacts efforts of scientists. Through professional development workshops, scientist-graduate student teams will produce interactive materials based on the ?Ocean Literacy? and ?Climate Literacy? principles that can be specifically designed for a variety of audiences. The primary target audiences for this project are the research scientists and graduate students who participate in the project workshops. Through team-building and COSEE-facilitated long-term contact, the project will provide sustained professional development training opportunities that result in deeper content understanding and/or confidence in teaching to lay audiences, for researchers and graduate students alike. The secondary audience is on-line users who will benefit from the project outputs: namely the interactive ocean-climate content and user-centered data tools developed as part of this effort. Learning and interaction data of target audiences will be collected and evaluated by participating COSEE Centers. These evaluation results will be used to refine the approach, workshop model, and resulting online products throughout the project.
