  12. II. DRK-12 Science Project Research Questions Categories and Descriptions

  13. Science Projects – Research Questions Categories of Research Questions: Project implementation Teacher outcomes Student outcomes Classroom/school/district outcomes Project evaluation

  14. Project Implementation Meeting project goals Barriers to success Implementing with fidelity Support for teachers Support for students

  15. Teacher Outcomes Teacher content knowledge/learning/skills Teacher satisfaction Changes in instruction Changes in teacher attitudes/beliefs/motivation Incorporation of tools into instruction

  16. Student Outcomes Enhancement of student learning (academic/social/emotional) Changes in achievement Obstacles to learning/achieving Effects on college and career goals Changes in student confidence, motivation, awareness

  17. Classroom/School/District Outcomes Professional development Instructional support Institutional policies School structure Teaching methodology Classroom discourse

  18. Project Evaluation Formative/summative evaluation Project effectiveness Comparisons of new versus existing tools and techniques Implementation challenges Curriculum validity/reliability/bias

  19. III. DRK-12 Science Projects’ Use of Technology Categories and Descriptions

  20. Science Projects – Technology Categories On-line gaming/interactive learning/virtual environment On-line network/collaboration tool Software on personal computer Assessment

  21. On-line gaming/Interactive Learning/Virtual Environment Student data collection contributions to ongoing studies (on-line observations & data entry)/virtual laboratories Student tutoring via interactive learning tools/ automated tutoring for lower performing students Students interaction with “augmented reality” to supplement classroom curricula (e.g., climate change) Scientific inquiry using GPS units, digital smart graphs, Google Earth, etc… Teacher professional development about interactive software

  22. On-line Networking/Collaboration Tools Interactive information-sharing and collaboration, on-line On-line professional development (on curricula, lesson planning tools, audio/video training materials) Promoting professional communities/communities of practice among teachers and between teachers and scientists Social interaction platforms for students using avatars, portfolio spaces, and discussion forums

  23. Software on Personal Computers Ongoing teacher assessments to enhance instruction Interactive learning tools Digital laboratories Tutorials/assessments/progress reports of student understanding and accumulation of knowledge

  24. Assessment Formative assessment Summative assessment Simulation-based benchmark assessment aligned with national standards—designed to bridge gap between formative and summative assessments Assessment of strategies for teaching STEM Virtual environment-situated assessment modules Assessment of professional development
