利用科学教育门户改进本科 STEM 教育:以 QUBES 平台为案例研究

Using Science Education Gateways to improve undergraduate STEM education: The QUBES Platform as a case study

Sam Donovan, M. Drew LaMar

AI总结:

本文以 QUBES 平台为案例,阐述科学教育门户如何通过集成资源、专业学习、伙伴支持和工作区服务,推动本科 STEM 教育改革与开放实践。

摘要:

QUBES 平台被构想为一个“科学教育门户”,旨在加速本科 STEM 教育的创新。其技术基础设施经过专门构建,用以提供更公平的专业资源获取途径,支持反映真实科学的学习,并推动开放教育实践。四项平台服务——OER Library Access(开放教育资源库访问)、Professional Learning(专业学习)、Partner Support(合作伙伴支持)和 Customizable Workspaces(可定制工作区)——支持相互重叠的教师用户群体,提供多个进入点,并促成多种多样的使用场景。该平台的集成特性使人们能够以可扩展且可持续的方式收集、策划和传播种类繁多的改革资源。我们相信,QUBES 平台有能力扩大对教与学相关学术研究的参与,此外,它还能帮助降低教师采纳改革实践的障碍。网络基础设施在本科 STEM 教育中的作用总体上未得到充分重视,值得进一步探索。

英文摘要:

The QUBES platform was conceived as a "science education gateway" and designed to accelerate innovation in undergraduate STEM education. The technical infrastructure was purpose built to provide more equitable access to professional resources, support learning that reflects authentic science, and promote open education practices. Four platform services (OER Library Access; Professional Learning; Partner Support; and Customizable Workspaces) support overlapping faculty user communities, provide multiple points of entry, and enable manifold use case scenarios. The integrated nature of the platform makes it possible to collect, curate, and disseminate a diverse array of reform resources in a scalable and sustainable manner. We believe that the QUBES platform has the capacity to broaden participation in scholarship around teaching and learning and, furthermore, that it can help to lower faculty barriers to the adoption of reform practices. The role of cyberinfrastructure in undergraduate STEM education is generally underappreciated and warrants further exploration.
