A long-standing challenge for education and learning sciences is sharing the distinct knowledge bases of researchers and teachers with each other. The goal of this project is to support teachers, STEM coaches, and researchers in sharing that knowledge so that they can learn from one another. The STEM coaches work with teachers and are focused on science and technology in the schools. They will also serve to connect K-12 schools and researchers, and will play a critical role in bridging between the teachers and researchers. Ultimately, a professional learning community will be created to bring the three groups together. One purpose of the learning community will be to select and adapt research-based practices that address local changes. The learning community will also work together to create research-practice briefs that are short written summaries of research that provides useable knowledge and guidance for teaching and learning. An important contribution is creating research-practice briefs that summarize research with input from both researchers and practitioners so that principled adaptations can be applied more easily in practice. The project takes a sociocultural perspective using cultural historical activity theory to analyze the interactions that will occur between researchers, teachers, and STEM coaches. The research questions are as follows. First, how can researchers and STEM coaches jointly construct products that support their learning and knowledge diffusion? Second, how do STEM coaches help teachers adapt practices to their classrooms? Third, what contextual factors support or impede the adoption of research-based practices? While answering these questions, the project will incorporate the perspectives of STEM coaches, teachers, and researchers and work to understand how this new professional learning community model can work within school and district contexts. The research and development plan will use a mixed methods approach using observational data (e.g., field notes, video), written artifacts, and interviews to understand the different interacting systems within the new expansive learning community. The Discovery Research preK-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models, and tools. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. 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.

长期以来，对教育和学习科学的挑战是彼此分享研究人员和教师的独特知识基础。该项目的目的是支持教师，STEM教练和研究人员共享这些知识，以便他们可以互相学习。 STEM教练与教师合作，并专注于学校的科学技术。他们还将连接K-12学校和研究人员，并将在教师和研究人员之间桥接中发挥关键作用。最终，将创建一个专业的学习社区，以将这三个小组融合在一起。学习社区的目的之一是选择和调整基于研究的实践来解决本地变化。学习社区还将共同创建研究实践摘要，这些简短的研究简短的研究摘要为教学提供了可用的知识和指导。一个重要的贡献是创建研究练习简介，以研究人员和实践者的意见进行研究，以便在实践中更容易地应用校长适应。该项目使用文化历史活动理论采取社会文化的观点，以分析研究人员，教师和STEM教练之间将发生的相互作用。研究问题如下。首先，研究人员和STEM教练如何共同构建支持他们学习和知识差异的产品？其次，STEM教练如何帮助教师适应教室的练习？第三，哪些背景因素支持或阻碍了基于研究的实践的采用？在回答这些问题的同时，该项目将结合STEM教练，教师和研究人员的观点，并努力了解这种新的专业学习社区模型如何在学校和地区环境中工作。研究与开发计划将使用观察数据（例如现场注释，视频），书面工件和访谈使用混合方法方法，以了解新的广泛学习社区中的不同交互系统。 Discovery Research Prek-12计划（DRK-12）试图通过研究和开发创新资源，模型和工具的研究和开发，从而大大增强PreK-12学生和教师的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的学习和教学。 DRK-12计划中的项目基于STEM教育和先前的研发工作的基础研究，为拟议项目提供了理论和经验的理由。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响来通过评估来支持的珍贵支持。
