项目摘要

PI Name: Candace Galen Institution Name: University of Missouri-Columbia Proposal Title: ShowMe Nature from Elements to Ecosystems Proposal ID: 1045322The ShowMe Nature GK-12 will enhance graduate student development of teaching and communication skills, bring research into elementary school classrooms, and catalyze collaboration between agricultural and conservation scientists at the University of Missouri. Graduate fellows studying the biochemical, physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying plant growth and development will work alongside peers studying biodiversity in populations, communities and ecosystems. The synthesis of perspectives across disciplines and scales will promote agricultural productivity while sustaining natural resources. Partnership with K-12 classroom teachers will simultaneously provide graduate fellows with the communication and teaching skills needed to implement their ideas as they advance professionally. Innovative aspects of this GK-12 plan include use of scientific proposal writing as a strategy for multi-disciplinary collaborative learning, peer mentoring as a mechanism to enhance Fellow retention of teaching skills, virtual expeditions to integrate fellow?s research with classroom learning, and recognition of Fellow achievements through Conservation and Outreach Certification Programs. Strong industry and agency partners promote sustainability of this GK-12.ShowMe Nature will enhance teaching and leadership capacity of outstanding young scientists while providing teachers at all elementary schools in Columbia MO with immersion in research. Fellows will teach students to visualize and conduct research in laboratory and field settings. Working with faculty in the MU School of Medicine, fellows will advance health, memory and learning of students by guiding them in scientific discovery out of doors. Fellows recruited from under-represented groups will serve as role models in Columbia?s diverse classrooms, cultivating the next generation of scientists.

PI 姓名：Candace Galen 机构名称：密苏里哥伦比亚大学提案标题：从元素到生态系统的 ShowMe Nature 提案 ID：1045322 ShowMe Nature GK-12 将增强研究生教学和沟通技能的发展，将研究带入小学课堂，并促进密苏里大学农业和保护科学家之间的合作。研究植物生长和发育的生化、生理和遗传机制的研究生将与研究种群、社区和生态系统生物多样性的同行一起工作。跨学科和跨规模的观点综合将提高农业生产力，同时保护自然资源。与 K-12 课堂教师的合作将同时为研究生提供在专业发展过程中实现其想法所需的沟通和教学技能。 GK-12 计划的创新方面包括使用科学提案写作作为多学科协作学习的策略、将同伴指导作为增强研究员保留教学技能的机制、将研究员的研究与课堂学习相结合的虚拟探险以及通过保护和外展认证计划认可研究员的成就。强大的行业和机构合作伙伴促进了 GK-12 的可持续性。ShowMe Nature 将提高杰出年轻科学家的教学和领导能力，同时为密苏里州哥伦比亚所有小学的教师提供沉浸式研究。研究员将教学生在实验室和现场环境中想象和进行研究。研究员将与密西根大学医学院的教师合作，通过指导学生进行户外科学发现来促进学生的健康、记忆和学习。从代表性不足的群体中招募的研究员将成为哥伦比亚多元化课堂的榜样，培养下一代科学家。
