“谢谢你帮我找到了对物理的热情!“学校研究”项目对学生、教师和学校的持久影响
"Thanks for helping me find my enthusiasm for physics!" The lasting impacts "research in schools" projects can have on students, teachers, and schools
摘要:
利用6年的评估数据,我们评估了参与基于尖端空间科学,天文学和粒子物理研究的长期大学指导项目计划对各种学生,教师和学校的中长期影响。在完成了为期6个月的项目后,14至18岁的学生报告说,他们对相关科学主题和方法的信心大大增加,并开发了许多技能,这些成果得到了教师的证实。有证据表明,这些项目有助于提高学生对物理的愿望,而科学的愿望(通常很高开始)通常通过他们的参与保持或确认。3年后的纵向评估表明,这些项目对学生来说是持久的经验,他们在随后的大学教育中受益并借鉴。关于学生目的地的数据表明,他们参与研究项目使他们比预期更有可能攻读物理和STEM学位。从PRiSE产生的共同创造的新物理研究的情况下,似乎也有强大的影响,不仅对学生的共同作者,但参与学生从其他学校也。教师也通过参与该方案受到了积极影响,该方案影响了他们自己的知识、技能和教学法,并在他们所在的更广泛的学校产生了有利的影响。这些影响表明,类似的“学校研究”举措可以发挥作用,帮助高等教育增加物理和/或STEM的吸收和多样性,并有意义地加强学校内的STEM环境。
英文摘要:
Using 6 years of evaluation data we assess the medium- and long-term impacts upon a diverse range of students, teachers, and schools from participating in a programme of protracted university-mentored projects based in cutting-edge space science, astronomy, and particle physics research. After having completed their 6-month-long projects, the 14-18 year-old school students report having substantially increased in confidence relating to relevant scientific topics and methods as well as having developed numerous skills, outcomes which are corroborated by teachers. There is evidence that the projects helped increase students' aspirations towards physics, whereas science aspirations (generally high to begin with) were typically maintained or confirmed through their involvement. Longitudinal evaluation 3 years later has revealed that these projects have been lasting experiences for students which they have benefited and drawn upon in their subsequent university education. Data on students' destinations suggests that their involvement in research projects has made them more likely to undertake physics and STEM degrees than would otherwise be expected. Cases of co-created novel physics research resulting from PRiSE also has seemed to have a powerful effect, not only on the student co-authors but participating students from other schools also. Teachers have also been positively affected through participating, with the programme having influenced their own knowledge, skills, and pedagogy, as well as having advantageous effects felt across their wider schools. These impacts suggest that similar `research in schools' initiatives may have a role to play in aiding the increased uptake and diversity of physics and/or STEM in higher education as well as meaningfully enhancing the STEM environment within schools.
