SUCCESSFUL OUT-OF-SCHOOL STEM LEARNING: A CONSENSUS STUDY

国家研究理事会（NRC）科学教育委员会将确定一个专家研究委员会，根据成功实践的证据制定一份报告，确定成功的校外STEM学习的标准。 委员会将通过委托论文和为期2天的公开研讨会了解当前的证据。该报告将为政策制定者、资助者、非营利和私营行业代表以及民间社会的其他代表撰写。该报告的主要目标将是帮助这些受众更好地理解和更有战略性地支持对校外STEM教育的投资，并鼓励建立伙伴关系，促进校外STEM学习与校本学习的联系。这项研究补充了NRC为编制成功的K-12 STEM教育报告所做的工作，并建立在NRC之前的研究基础上，特别是在非正式环境中学习科学，围绕科学和教育的工作和生活：发展可转移的知识和技能，在21世纪世纪。

The National Research Council's (NRC) Board on Science Education will identify an expert study committee to develop a report identifying the criteria for successful out-of-school STEM learning based on evidence from successful practice. The committee will be informed by commissioned papers and by a 2-day public workshop that explores the current evidence. The report will be written for policy-makers, funders, non-profit and private industry representatives, and other representatives from civic society. The primary goal of the report will be to help these audiences better understand and more strategically support investments in out-of-school STEM education, and to encourage partnerships that promote the linking of out-of-school STEM learning to school-based learning.This study complements the NRC work done to produce the Successful K-12 STEM Education report and builds from prior NRC studies, especially Learning Science in Informal Environments, Surrounded by Science and Education for Work and Life: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century.
