GRADUATE TEACHING FELLOWS IN K-12 EDUCATIONABSTRACTPROPOSAL #: 0742554PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Karen Viskupic INSTITUTION: Boise State UniversityTITLE: Utilizing local resources and educational settings to stimulate K-12 learningBoise State University?s Graduate GK-12 Fellows will partner with three local learning centers to develop and deliver educational activities in biology and the geosciences. GK-12 project will use local and regional science issues to stimulate learning in the K-12 community. K-12 classes that visit the learning centers will use some of the developed activities, while other activities will be used in traditional classroom settings through outreach. The project will help K-12 students to increase their understanding of science topics, and how those topics relate to their lives, through the use of local and regional themes. Together, the partner learning centers will serve a total of over 40,000 K-12 students each year, and the project has the potential to affect a large percentage of Idaho students.Expected outcomes of the project include: 1) Funding many graduate students? educations, which will allow them to pursue diverse research goals in science fields; 2) The infusion of research-based science and its importance into the consciousness of local students; 3) Training several graduate students in communicating science to non-technical audiences; 4) Enhancement of K-12 students? understanding of science concepts, which may lead to increased interest in pursuing careers in these fields; 5) Development of educational activities that can be used by teachers and classes not directly participating in the project; and 6) Development of a sustainable collaborative partnership between Boise State University and the K-12 community.

K-12 教育研究生教学人员摘要提案编号：0742554 主要调查员：Karen Viskupic 机构：博伊西州立大学标题：利用当地资源和教育环境促进 K-12 学习博伊西州立大学的 GK-12 研究生研究员将与三个当地学习中心合作，开发和开展生物学和地球科学方面的教育活动。 GK-12 项目将利用当地和区域科学问题来刺激 K-12 社区的学习。 参观学习中心的 K-12 班级将使用一些开发的活动，而其他活动将通过外展在传统课堂环境中使用。 该项目将通过使用当地和区域主题，帮助 K-12 学生加深对科学主题的理解，以及这些主题与他们的生活的关系。 合作伙伴学习中心每年将为超过 40,000 名 K-12 学生提供服务，该项目有可能影响很大一部分爱达荷州学生。该项目的预期成果包括： 1) 资助许多研究生？教育，这将使他们能够在科学领域追求不同的研究目标； 2）将研究型科学及其重要性融入当地学生的意识中； 3) 培训多名研究生向非技术受众传播科学知识； 4) K-12学生的提升？对科学概念的理解，这可能会增加人们对这些领域职业的兴趣； 5）开发可供不直接参与项目的教师和班级使用的教育活动； 6) 在博伊西州立大学和 K-12 社区之间发展可持续的合作伙伴关系。
