Six Star Science for Student-Centered Learning

描述（由申请人提供）：六颗星星科学研究教师奖学金计划为MS/HS教师提供了一个框架，在他们的国家规定的课程中创造有效的以学生为中心的学习环境。该项目将为教师开发和测试一个新的夏季研究项目，该项目将保留现有APS生理学前沿项目中经过验证的组件，并扩展到满足科学教育的新需求。该计划是建立在六个星星科学，APS的研究为基础的框架，支持卓越的科学教育，为不同的学生。六颗“星”是：教学：以学生为中心的教学是示范性科学教育的核心。多样性：重视学生的多样性是卓越教育的一个决定性特征。技术：整合技术以促进学习在科学领域尤为重要。真实性评估：要做到真实性，评估必须同时关注内容和过程技能。当前内容：利用准确和及时的内容信息是科学研究的核心。反思：反思教学和学习对于保持卓越的教育至关重要。 该项目有四个主要目标： 开发、评估、改进和传播一个模型和材料，以帮助教师在其国家标准课程的背景下创建六颗星星科学学习环境; 在基础和临床研究科学家与MS/HS之间建立持续的工作关系 教师通过研究，在职经验，课堂参观，和在线通信; 促进有效实施K-12内容和教学法的国家标准， 特别是探究式教学、多样性策略和技术使用; 为生物医学研究协会和组织提供一个模式，以促进公众对基础和临床研究的理解，并促进科学教育的改善。 该项目的主要产品将包括以下内容，并将在网上免费提供： 六个星星科学实验室活动是“食谱”的教训，是RT的国家授权的一部分， 课程，并已加强，以促进以学生为中心的学习。 《从板凳到床边》（BTB）是一本四页的讲义，突出了RT的夏天 研究项目、相关临床研究、正常生理和健康问题。 “Bench to Bedside”（“BTB”）播客是BTB入门的音频/视频播客。 “从工作台到床边”（“BTB”）在线教师和学生WISE单元提供关于基础和临床研究、研究伦理和公共卫生福利的互动课程。 六颗星星科学研究教师奖学金计划为MS/HS教师，他们的学生和公众提供工具，帮助他们了解基础和临床研究对公共卫生的重要贡献。通过教师在该计划中的研究和专业发展经验，他们成为知识渊博的倡导者，这两种类型的研究对我们了解人体健康和疾病的重要性，以及我们对疾病和伤害的治疗和预防的发展。通过该项目开发的产品将以免费，易于访问的格式在线免费提供给教师，学生和公众，并将通过APS网站和国家科学数字图书馆进行推广。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Six Star Science Research Teacher Fellowship program provides MS/HS teachers with a framework for creating effective student-centered learning environments within their state-mandated curricula. The project will develop and test a new model summer research program for teachers that retain proven components from the existing APS Frontiers in Physiology program and expands to address emerging needs in science education. The program is built on Six Star Science, the APS research-based framework for supporting excellence in science education for diverse students. The six "stars" are: Instruction: Student-centered instruction is at the heart of exemplary science education. Diversity: Valuing diversity among students is a defining characteristic of excellence in education. Technology: Integrating technology to enhance learning is particularly important in science. Authentic Assessment: To be authentic, assessment must focus on both content and process skills. Current Content: Utilizing accurate and timely content information is central to scientific study. Reflection: Reflecting on teaching and learning is essential to maintaining excellence in education. The project has four major goals: Develop, evaluate, refine, and disseminate a model and materials to help teachers create Six Star Science learning environments within the context of their state standards-based curricula; Build ongoing working relationships between basic and clinical research scientists and MS/HS teachers through research, in-service experiences, classroom visits, and online communications; Promote the effective implementation of state standards for K-12 content and pedagogy -- especially inquiry-based teaching, diversity strategies, and technology use; and Provide a model for biomedical research societies and organizations for promoting the public understanding of basic & clinical research and facilitating improvements in science education. Major products from the project will include the following and will be freely available online: Six Star Science Lab Activities are "cookbook" lessons that are part of RTs' state-mandated curricula and have been enhanced to promote student-centered learning. "Bench to Bedside" ("BTB") Primers are four-page handouts that highlight the RT's summer research project, related clinical research, normal physiology, and health issues. "Bench to Bedside" ("BTB") Podcasts are audio/video Podcasts of the BTB Primers. "Bench to Bedside" ("BTB") online WISE Units for Teachers and Students provide an interactive lesson on basic and clinical research, research ethics, and public health benefits. The Six Star Science Research Teacher Fellowship program provides MS/HS teachers, their students, and the general public with tools to help them learn about the important contributions that both basic and clinical research make to public health. Through the research and professional development experiences of teachers in the program, they become knowledgeable advocates for the importance of both types of research to our understanding of the human body in both health and disease, and our development of both treatments and prevention of disease and injury. The products developed through the project will be freely accessible online to teachers, students, and the general public in free, easy to access formats and will be promoted via the APS website and the National Science Digital Library.
