Center on Reinventing Public Education的动态

From Seedlings to Scale (S2S), IES’s newest transformational research grant program, launched today! Read all about it at: https://lnkd.in/ea2YpXKr S2S is part of the Accelerate, Transform, Scale Portfolio at our National Center for Education Research. In this first phase, S2S seeks to identify innovative policies, practices, or programs that educators and communities feel could be compelling solutions to pressing problems of education. In a subsequent phase, select seedlings grow to become rigorously evaluated solutions, supported by a systematic and high-quality process of research and development designed to maximize usability, feasibility, and impact. Our end goal? Transformational solutions at scale that are rooted in the learning sciences, powered by the enthusiasm of school communities, and dramatically improving outcomes for students every day. We won’t get there without you! Please share this announcement, so expertly crafted by many at the Institute of Education Sciences including Elizabeth Albro, PhD, Erin Higgins, Alex Resch, and Katherine McEldoon, PhD, with your networks.

Imagine what public education could look like 20 years from now if we created space for multidisciplinary teams to come together at the same table to develop new scientific breakthroughs and?inventions on a faster timeline that can help learners everywhere access a great education. If approached this way, education R&D has the promise to serve as an innovation engine. Especially with enhanced participation from the federal government. We applaud the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) for launching its From Seedlings to Scale (S2S) program which will invest in innovative ideas as they grow from seedlings to scalable solutions. Read more below and spread the word! Big shout out to Matthew Soldner Elizabeth Albro, PhD Erin Higgins Katherine McEldoon, PhD Alex Resch for bringing this vision to life!

So excited about this publication with my colleagues from HGSE! Thank you M. Shane Tutwiler, EdD for your hard work to get these ideas out in the world. Anyone engaging or interested in Design-Based Research should check it out for recommendations to make your studies rigorous! #designresearch #design #learningscience

The “Closing the Opportunity Gap for Young Children” report from The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, emphasizes a whole child/whole family approach, beginning prenatally, in making changes to reduce opportunity gaps and the resulting achievement gaps for young children across the U.S. Download the report: https://ow.ly/PjRU50SCyrx

ICYMI: ICYMI: Latest in the Ottawa News of Science Schools in Canada: The latest Ottawa Citizen science school news is actually about the closure of a science program, not an opening. Here’s the relevant part: While it’s not positive news, it is the most recent development about science schools in the Ottawa Citizen.

Congratulations to my friend Bénédicte Boissard for her outstanding achievement in winning the Best Poster Presentation ("Promoting Conceptual Change in Science Through Oral Expression: A Quasi-Experimental Study") at European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) SIG 20 & 26 Conference 2024. So proud of her! Her study examines whether oral justification and reformulation by students can foster conceptual change and achievement in middle school science. Employing a quasi-experimental design, students participated in both a control (standard teaching) and an experimental (innovative treatment) condition (Taber, 2019). Prior knowledge and misconceptions about mass, volume, and photosynthesis were assessed using multiple-choice questions. Variables such as self-concept and science interest were considered. Involving 400 students from six teachers across five schools in the 2023-2024 academic year, preliminary findings suggest that the innovative treatment resulted in higher gains in both regular and misconception-targeted assessments.

What is the role of public research universities in this day and age? I believe public research universities are catalysts for progress, driving innovation, fostering critical thinking and advancing knowledge that directly improves the well-being of our communities. I invite every member of the Virginia Commonwealth University community to join me in exploring answers to this pivotal question. Your perspectives, insights and ideas are invaluable as we strive to shape the future through the transformative power of education and research. https://lnkd.in/eshsqqZY

? Collaborative minds at work: A delegation of scientists from the Tübingen Hector Research Institute visit the University of California, Irvine ?? Nine scientists from Tübingen ventured to California to visit fellow scientists at the UCI this month. The visit aimed to foster collaboration, exchange innovative ideas, and collectively advance our understanding of #educational #research. The discussions covered a spectrum of topics from digital education, teacher professional development, and students' learning processes from elementary school to higher education. Plans are underway for continued collaboration, joint research projects, and establishing networks that transcend the borders. #EducationalResearch #GlobalCollaboration #ScienceAndEducation #UCI #KnowledgeExchange #InnovationInEducation
