Six Star Science for Student-Centered Learning

描述(由申请人提供)：六星科学研究教师奖学金计划为MS/HS教师提供了一个框架，以在其州规定的课程内创建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种新的暑期研究计划，保留现有APS生理学前沿计划中经过验证的组成部分，并扩展以满足科学教育中新出现的需求。该计划建立在六星科学的基础上，这是APS基于研究的框架，旨在支持不同学生在科学教育方面的卓越表现。六星：教学：以学生为中心的教学是模范科学教育的核心。多样性：重视学生的多样性是优秀教育的一个重要特征。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：反思教与学是保持卓越教育的关键。 该项目有四个主要目标： 开发、评估、改进和传播模式和材料，以帮助教师在基于国家标准的课程背景下创建六星科学学习环境； 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、在职体验、课堂访问和在线交流； 促进K-12内容和教学国家标准的有效实施-- 特别是探究式教学、多样化策略和技术应用；以及 为生物医学研究学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进。 该项目的主要产品将包括以下内容，并将在网上免费提供： 六星科学实验室的活动是国家规定的RTS课程的一部分 课程，并已得到加强，以促进以学生为中心的学习。 《板凳到床边》(BTB)入门读物是四页的讲义，突出了RT的夏天 研究项目、相关临床研究、正常生理学和健康问题。 “板凳到床边”(“BTB”)播客是BTB初级读物的音频/视频播客。 “从床到床”(“BTB”)面向教师和学生的在线WISE单元提供关于基础和临床研究、研究道德和公共健康益处的互动课程。 六星科学研究教师奖学金计划为MS/HS教师、他们的学生和普通公众提供工具，帮助他们了解基础和临床研究对公共卫生做出的重要贡献。通过该项目教师的研究和专业发展经验，他们成为知识丰富的倡导者，认为这两种类型的研究对我们了解人体在健康和疾病中的重要性，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、易于获取的格式向教师、学生和普通公众免费在线访问，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.
