项目摘要

The Center for Open Science (COS) will create an EHR Core Research (ECR) Data Resource Hub to facilitate rigorous and reproducible research practices such as data sharing and study registration across the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education research community. The Hub will integrate training materials, infrastructure, community engagement, and innovation in research to advance rigorous research skills and behavior. In addition, the Hub will foster innovation in open and reproducible research practices for the breadth of research activities in education including experimental, observational, longitudinal, and qualitative methods. Finally, the Hub will connect the STEM education research community with related disciplinary and multi-disciplinary research communities to leverage shared insights and knowledge building. This effort is funded by the ECR program which invests in STEM education research that emphasizes rigorous development of theory and accumulation of knowledge to inform efforts to address challenges in STEM interest, learning and participation, for all groups and all ages in formal and informal settings. ECR strives to further fundamental research that informs knowledge across three research tracks: Research on STEM Learning and Learning Environments, Research on Broadening Participation in STEM fields, and Research on STEM Workforce Development.With partners across the education research community, COS will create the ECR Data Resource Hub to serve four integrated functions organized into a single portal: 1) Knowledge: The Hub will consolidate existing education, training, and support materials for the what, why, and how of doing rigorous, open, reproducible science. 2) Infrastructure: The Hub will link together existing services that support STEM education research and leveraging COS's existing public Open Science Framework and SHARE dataset infrastructure services. These connections will improve discovery of tools and content and facilitating adoption of new behaviors. 3) Social: The Hub will conduct outreach and community building to catalyze a grassroots movement for improving research practices. This will include webinars and training for methodology innovations and providing researchers with technical assistance. The Hub will also host action-oriented conferences and organize formal and informal events at other society meetings. 4) Innovation: The Hub will foster innovation in education, training, and support materials for STEM education research methodologies. In particular, the Hub will coordinate community engagement for improving research rigor (registration, sharing standards) for observational studies, longitudinal research, qualitative research, and research with existing datasets. With an emphasis on fostering a grassroots network and integrating existing technologies, the Hub will become a sustainable, integrated catalyst of knowledge and innovation for the STEM education research enterprise. The result will be a community of scholars, services, and events that will foster continuous improvement in the rigor of STEM education research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

开放科学中心 (COS) 将创建一个 EHR 核心研究 (ECR) 数据资源中心，以促进严格且可重复的研究实践，例如整个 STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）教育研究界的数据共享和研究注册。该中心将整合培训材料、基础设施、社区参与和研究创新，以提高严谨的研究技能和行为。此外，该中心还将促进开放和可重复研究实践的创新，以促进教育研究活动的广度，包括实验、观察、纵向和定性方法。最后，该中心将把 STEM 教育研究社区与相关学科和多学科研究社区联系起来，以利用共享见解和知识建设。这项工作由 ECR 计划资助，该计划投资于 STEM 教育研究，强调严格的理论发展和知识积累，为解决正式和非正式环境中所有群体和所有年龄段的 STEM 兴趣、学习和参与方面的挑战提供信息。 ECR 致力于进一步开展基础研究，为三个研究领域的知识提供信息：STEM 学习和学习环境研究、扩大 STEM 领域参与的研究以及 STEM 劳动力发展研究。 COS 将与教育研究界的合作伙伴一起创建 ECR数据资源中心将服务于组织成一个门户的四个综合功能： 1) 知识：该中心将整合现有的教育、培训和支持材料，以了解什么、为什么以及如何进行严格、开放、可重复的科学。 2) 基础设施：该中心将把支持 STEM 教育研究的现有服务连接在一起，并利用 COS 现有的公共开放科学框架和 SHARE 数据集基础设施服务。这些联系将改善工具和内容的发现，并促进新行为的采用。 3) 社会：该中心将开展外展和社区建设，以促进草根运动，改善研究实践。这将包括方法创新的网络研讨会和培训以及为研究人员提供技术援助。该中心还将举办以行动为导向的会议，并在其他社会会议上组织正式和非正式活动。 4) 创新：该中心将促进 STEM 教育研究方法的教育、培训和支持材料方面的创新。特别是，该中心将协调社区参与，以提高观察研究、纵向研究、定性研究和现有数据集研究的研究严谨性（注册、共享标准）。该中心的重点是培育基层网络和整合现有技术，将成为 STEM 教育研究企业可持续、综合的知识和创新催化剂。其结果将是一个由学者、服务和活动组成的社区，将促进 STEM 教育研究的严谨性不断提高。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查进行评估，被认为值得支持标准。
