A Framework for Transformative Geoscience Education Research

变革性地球科学教育研究框架项目是一项为期一年的努力，旨在让地球科学教育研究界参与制定雄心勃勃的地球科学教育研究目标，这些目标将在十年内实现，并将对地球科学教育教学产生重大影响。拟议项目的目标是：（1）确定跨越多个地球科学教育研究（格尔）专题领域的主题，以确定格尔开展活动并具有影响潜力的范围;（2）阐明地球科学教育研究人员和从业人员高度关注的每一个主题在格尔中的“重大挑战”并确定其优先次序;（3）制定战略，解决优先的重大挑战。拟议项目的活动包括：（a）对格尔社区进行调查，以确定成员认为格尔在未来10年内需要解决的重要研究问题;（B）在2017年地球教育者大会（EER）上为研究人员举办研讨会和口头会议，讨论调查中出现的重大挑战并确定其优先顺序，并提出应对重大挑战的战略;（c）继续开发在线格尔报告，以支持研究人员应对格尔方面的重大挑战;（d）举行全球服务协会全体会议和第二次调查，与更广泛的社区分享讲习班提出的格尔优先事项和战略，供其审查和评论;以及（e）编写一份关于项目综合结果的白色文件，广泛分享社区提出的格尔研究议程。

The Framework for Transformative Geoscience Education Research project is a one-year effort to engage the geoscience education research community in setting ambitious goals for geoscience education research that will be achievable within ten years and will have significant impact on geoscience education teaching and learning. The objectives of the proposed project are: (1) to identify themes that span multiple geoscience education research (GER) topical areas to define the spectrum in which GER operates and has the potential to impact; (2) to articulate and prioritize "grand challenges" in GER for each of the themes that are of high interest to the geoscience education researcher and practitioner community; and (3) to develop strategies to address the prioritized grand challenges. Activities of the proposed project include: (a) a survey of the GER community to determine what members see as important research questions to address in GER in the next 10 years; (b) a workshop and oral session at the 2017 Earth Educators' Rendezvous (EER) for researchers to discuss and prioritize the grand challenges that emerge from the survey and to propose strategies to address the grand challenges; (c) continued online GER Toolbox development to support researchers as they address grand challenges in GER; (d) a GSA town hall and a second survey to share the workshop-proposed GER priorities and strategies with the broader community for their review and comment; and (e) a white paper about the synthesized findings of the project to share broadly the community's proposed research agenda for GER.
