Fostering More Effective Use of the Learning Progressions in NSDL Science Literacy Maps

这个NSDL使用开发研讨会项目正在增加和改进NSDL科学素养地图的使用，作为理解K-12科学学习进展以及选择和使用NSDL资源的工具。为了促进互动地图的广泛采用和有意义的使用，项目负责人将：（1）举办面对面的讲习班，向用户介绍科学素养地图，并让他们参与旨在帮助他们理解和使用所有地图功能的活动;（2）发展中国家时间在线学习工具，可通过科学素养地图主页和个人NSDL途径的网站访问;以及（3）采取广泛的传播策略，利用AAAS和合作的NSDL实体的能力。指导这项工作的是对用户需求的分析、一个专家咨询小组和一项旨在提供必要的形成性投入和总结性数据的评价计划。研讨会参与者的反馈也为科学素养地图的长期开发提供了信息，这是一个用户驱动的过程。最后，为了有助于NSDL计划测试“教师活动的集合和资源的影响”的目标，调查人员正在研究研讨会的参与者能够随后将获得的知识和技能应用于完成教育任务的程度。

This NSDL Usage Development Workshops project is increasing and improving the use of NSDL Science Literacy Maps as tools for understanding K-12 science learning progressions and for selecting and using NSDL resources. To foster the broader adoption and meaningful use of the interactive maps, the project leaders are: (1) conducting face-to-face workshops to introduce users to the Science Literacy Maps and engage them in activities designed to help them understand and use all of the map features; (2) developing just-in-time online learning tools that are accessible through the Science Literacy Maps home page and the individual NSDL Pathways' web sites; and (3) undertaking a broad dissemination strategy that leverages the capabilities of AAAS and the collaborating NSDL entities. This work is guided by an analysis of user needs, an expert advisory group, and an evaluation plan designed to provide necessary formative input as well as summative data. Feedback from workshop participants is also informing the long term development of the Science Literacy Maps in a user-driven process. Finally, to contribute to the NSDL program's goal of testing "the impact of collections and resources for instructors on teachers' activities," the investigators are examining the extent participants in the workshops are able to subsequently apply the knowledge and skills gained to accomplishing educational tasks.
