Project Summary We aim to increase students’ understanding and interest in science through independent, student-driven research projects that use DNA barcoding to study the unique biogeographical regions of Long Island, New York. Barcode Long Island (BLI) will enable teachers and students to gain an understanding of the interaction of natural environments and human wellbeing, while increasing their knowledge, confidence, and interest in science. The BLI will build on strong collaborations between the DNA Learning Center (DNALC) at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), Stony Brook University (SBU), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), and an established network of Long Island schools. BLI will develop and provide all the training, equipment, materials, and infrastructure needed to support this large-scale, student-driven research effort. In the first year, we will focus on planning and building the partnership between participating institutions and Long Island school systems, and developing project infrastructure. Over the course of the program, 600 student teams comprising 1800 students will be led by 240 teachers trained at workshops held at BNL, SBU, and two DNALC locations (Lake Success and Cold Spring Harbor) that span Long Island outside the boroughs of New York City. Workshops will introduce teachers to DNA barcoding, experimental design, laboratory and bioinformatics methods, lab kit components, and detail how teachers and students can participate in BLI projects and campaigns. With DNALC, SBU, AMNH, and BNL staff, plus a network of scientists from local institutions as support, students will be guided while they design experiments, analyze results, and present their research at annual symposia. A multi-faceted evaluation program will assess: impact of the training on faculty participants’ knowledge, behavior and teaching confidence; how faculty implement the project in a variety of student research settings; and effects on student learning, interests, and attitudes. Longitudinal surveys of participants will be supplemented with structured teacher and student interviews, focus groups, and project case studies. Internet project resource use and database submissions will also be monitored to track project outcomes. The structure of this program – with planning, implementation, and evaluation components – is designed to determine the feasibility and impact of large-scale studies of biodiversity through student research.

项目概要 我们的目标是通过独立的、学生驱动的方式提高学生对科学的理解和兴趣 使用 DNA 条形码研究新长岛独特生物地理区域的研究项目 约克长岛条形码 (BLI) 将使教师和学生能够了解 自然环境与人类福祉的相互作用，同时增加他们的知识、信心、 BLI 将建立在 DNA 学习中心之间的密切合作之上。 （DNALC），冷泉港实验室（CSHL），石溪大学（SBU），布鲁克海文 国家实验室 (BNL)、美国自然历史博物馆 (AMNH) 以及已建立的 BLI 长岛学校网络将开发并提供所有培训、设备、材料和 在第一年，我们将提供支持这一大规模、学生驱动的研究工作所需的基础设施。 重点规划和建立参与机构与长岛学校之间的伙伴关系 系统和开发项目基础设施。 在该项目的过程中，由 1800 名学生组成的 600 个学生团队将由 240 名教师领导 在 BNL、SBU 和两个 DNALC 地点（成功湖和冷泉港）举办的研讨会上接受了培训 横跨纽约市行政区外长岛的研讨会将向教师介绍 DNA。 条形码、实验设计、实验室和生物信息学方法、实验室套件组件以及详细说明 教师和学生可以参与 DNALC、SBU、AMNH 和 BLI 项目和活动。 BNL 工作人员以及来自当地机构的科学家网络作为支持，学生在学习过程中将得到指导 设计实验，分析结果，并在年度研讨会上展示他们的研究。 多方面的评估计划将评估： 培训师资对参与者知识的影响， 行为和教学信心；教师如何在各种学生研究中实施该项目 环境；以及对参与者学习、兴趣和态度的影响。 以结构化的教师和学生访谈、焦点小组和项目案例研究作为补充。 互联网项目资源的使用和数据库提交也将受到监控，以跟踪项目成果。 该计划的结构——包括规划、实施和评估组成部分——是经过设计的 通过学生研究确定大规模生物多样性研究的可行性和影响。
