Workshop to Define Student Collaborative Climate Science Research; Silver Spring, MD

该奖项将用于召开一个仅限受邀者参加的为期2.5天的研讨会，以定义学生合作的气候科学研究。该研讨会由NSF/GEO和NOAA联合主办，其目的是为学生、教师和科学家提供具体的指导，让他们参与到关于地球气候变化的合作研究中来，这是21世纪的主要科学课题之一。参与者将包括气候科学家、STEM教育研究人员和STEM教育从业者，他们在正式和非正式学习环境中都有实施真实学生研究的经验。具体目标包括：1)定义学生、教育工作者和科学家开展合作气候科学研究的意义，并检查学生气候相关研究在高质量科学教育中的作用；2)确定气候科学界感兴趣的、可由学生及其教师与科学家合作开展的与气候相关的研究领域；3)在有前景的研究领域内，充分详细地定义具体的合作研究项目，以指导数据收集、报告、分析和传播的实施计划的制定。

This award is being used to convene an invitation-only, 2.5 day workshop to define student collaborative climate science research. The goal of the workshop, which is being jointly sponsored by NSF/GEO and NOAA, is to produce specific guidance for engaging students, teachers, and scientists in collaborative research about Earth's changing climate, one of the major science topics for the 21st century. Participants will include climate scientists, STEM education researchers, and STEM education practitioners who have experience with implementing authentic student research in formal and informal learning settings. Specific objectives include: 1) defining what it means for students, educators, and scientists to conduct collaborative climate science research and examine the role of student climate-related research in high-quality science education; 2) defining climate-related research areas that are of interest to the climate science community and that can be conducted by students and their teachers, in collaboration with scientists; and, 3) defining within promising research areas specific collaborative research projects in sufficient detail to guide development of implementation plans for data collection, reporting, analysis, and dissemination.
