哈佛科学研究指导计划
The Harvard Science Research Mentoring Program
摘要:
在过去的十年里,为高中生提供真实研究经验的辅导项目激增。这些项目让学生接触到一线研究,使他们具备基本的研究技能(包括编码技能),并向他们介绍科学家的榜样。这些项目的导师从本科生到教职员工不等。在这里,我描述了哈佛大学科学研究导师计划(SRMP)的成立和头两年的运作。该计划专门招募高级研究生和博士后学者担任导师。通过在很长一段时间内(9月至5月)指导高中生,早期职业科学家获得了指导学生所需技能的实践经验|这些技能通常是他们在未来的学术职位上所需要的,但学术机构很少教授。最后,我邀请现有的和潜在的SRMP的主任加入全球SPHERE网络,通过该网络,世界各地的SRMP主任可以分享他们的经验,最佳实践和问题。
英文摘要:
The last decade has seen a proliferation of mentoring programs that provide high-school students authentic research experiences. Such programs expose students to front-line research, equip them with basic research skills (including coding skills), and introduce them to scientist role models. Mentors in such programs range from undergraduate students to faculty members. Here, I describe the founding and first two years of operation of the Harvard Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP). This program specifically recruits advanced graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to serve as mentors. By mentoring high-school students over a long timescale (September to May), early-career scientists gain hands-on experience in the skills required to advise students|skills that are often required of them in future academic positions yet seldom taught by academic institutions. Finally, I invite directors of existing and prospective SRMPs to join the Global SPHERE Network, through which directors of SRMPs around the world can share their experiences, best practices, and questions.
