PROPOSAL NO.: 0230535PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Kukreti, AnantINSTITUTION NAME: University of Cincinnati Main CampusTITLE: Science and Mathematics Authentic inquiRy-based Teaching: Project SMART for K-12ABSTRACTProject SMART partners engineering and education faculty members with K-12 educators toempower high school students to successfully complete college.. Project SMART recognizes that effective student education requires authentic, inquiry-based learning. By solving open-ended problems based upon real world examples, students will link the relevance of their education with their daily lives and appreciatethe intrinsic and tangible values of science and mathematics in modern society. The five goals of ProjectSMART include: Improving science and mathematics achievement of ALL students, consistent with our overarchinggoal ioTo Leave No Child Behind.l_ Training secondary science and mathematics educators to incorporate authentic, inquiry-basededucation into current secondary science and mathematics curricula. Attracting secondary school students to engineering; enhancing the perception of career opportunities in engineering; and improving students SMET related skills to become successful engineers. Instilling an awareness of the importance of learning science and mathematics skills in K-6administrators, teachers, parents, and students. Increasing the quantity and quality of gender and ethnic student diversity in SMET related courses.The partners form a unique alliance among engineering and education faculty of the University ofCincinnati (UC), the Southwest Ohio section of High Schools That Work (HSTW), and the GreaterCincinnati Tech. Prep. For this planning proposal, we have presented our preliminary thoughts on the main elements envisionedfor Project SMART, including: 1) teacher professional development; 2) educational resources forteachers; 3) student programs: out of the classroom and into the world of science and mathematics; 4) pre-engineering program for high school students; and 5) evaluation, assessment and improvement. Inparticular, we have proposed special programs specifically targeting traditionally underrepresented groupsin SMET related fields including ethnic minorities and girls. In addition, we have presented our views onininstructional theorylu which will form the context for the planning and development of these elements.The Project Committee believes that the implementation of Project SMART in the microcosm ofCincinnati is transferable to other school districts struggling with similar education problems. During thelast century, Ohio lead the nation as a strong manufacturing state. Now, we must change our educationalstyle to keep up with society's technological demands. Project SMART is envisioned to transform thelives of students it touches by tearing down barriers to high paying jobs and creating informed citizens.

提案编号：0230535 首席研究员：Kukreti，Anant 机构名称：辛辛那提大学主校区 标题：科学和数学 真实探究式教学：K-12 的 SMART 项目 摘要 SMART 项目与工程和教育教职员工与 K-12 教育工作者合作，让高中生能够成功完成大学学业。SMART 项目认可高效的学生教育需要真实的、探究性的学习。通过根据现实世界的例子解决开放式问题，学生将把他们的教育与日常生活联系起来，并欣赏科学和数学在现代社会的内在和有形的价值。 ProjectSMART 的五个目标包括： 提高所有学生的科学和数学成绩，与我们的总体目标“不让任何一个孩子掉队”相一致。l_ 培训中学科学和数学教育工作者，将真实的、基于探究的教育纳入当前的中学科学和数学课程。吸引中学生学习工程学；增强对工程职业机会的认识；提高学生 SMET 相关技能，成为成功的工程师。向 K-6 管理员、教师、家长和学生灌输学习科学和数学技能重要性的意识。提高 SMET 相关课程中性别和种族学生多样性的数量和质量。合作伙伴在辛辛那提大学 (UC)、工作高中西南俄亥俄分部 (HSTW) 和大辛辛那提科技公司准备。对于这个规划建议，我们提出了我们对SMART项目设想的主要要素的初步想法，包括：1）教师专业发展； 2）教师教育资源； 3）学生项目：走出课堂，走进科学和数学的世界； 4）高中生预科工程课程； 5）评估、评估和改进。特别是，我们提出了专门针对 SMET 相关领域传统上代表性不足的群体（包括少数民族和女孩）的特别计划。此外，我们还提出了我们对教学理论的看法，这将构成这些要素的规划和发展的背景。项目委员会认为，在辛辛那提的缩影中实施 SMART 项目可以推广到其他面临类似教育问题的学区。上个世纪，俄亥俄州作为制造业强州领先全国。现在，我们必须改变我们的教育方式，以跟上社会的技术需求。 SMART 项目的愿景是通过消除高薪工作的障碍并培养见多识广的公民来改变其所接触的学生的生活。
