Download or read book Rural Alaska Science and Mathematics Network written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Less than 1 percent of all math, science, and engineering baccalaureate and graduate degrees at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks (UAF), are awarded to Alaska Native students. Academic preparation, lack of exposure to science careers in rural Alaska, and little connection between western science and Native traditional life have combined to impede Native students' interest and progress in math and science education. The goal of this project was to develop and deliver, both on-site and through distance learning, a comprehensive program of developmental and college preparatory math and science courses at minority institutions throughout the State of Alaska. The program developed and launched an integrated preparatory cohort of math and science courses at five geographically isolated Alaska Native Minority Institutions with campuses in Kotzebue, Nome, Bethel, Dillingham, and Sitka that allowed for successful articulation to baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate study in both the math and science fields. The UAF formed the Rural Alaska Science and Mathematics Network (RASMN). RASMN hired faculty to deliver courses locally from the remote campuses throughout rural Alaska. Faculty mentored and tutored students taking college courses in the College of Rural Alaska and at the University of Alaska Southeast Sitka Campus. The presence of qualified math and science faculty at these remote locations positively benefited colleagues, students, and the communities. Using an inclusive approach, RASMN reached out to young students in the 18-to-25 year-old age group by advising, recruiting, and supporting them in studying math and science subjects and in enrolling in related certificate and degree programs. Most of these young people were first-generation college students. The faculty taught mathematics and science courses to approximately 100 students each academic year during the 5-year RASMN project.

Download or read book Global Teaching written by Carol Reid and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when social, cultural and linguistic diversity has become a characteristic of education systems around the world, this timely text considers how teacher education is responding to these developments in the context of increased mobilities within and across national boundaries. This collection draws together the work of scholars, from a range of urban, rural and national contexts from the Global South and North, who engage in dialogue about diversity and knowledge exchange. It includes perspectives from multiple contexts using a range of frameworks that cohere around attention to issues of equity and social justice, and focuses on the macro level dynamics (policy, theory, global governance) as well as meso (institutional practices) and micro dimensions (professional identities, cultural, and identity transformation). The authors explore these dynamics and dimensions through mobilities of teachers and students, cosmopolitan theory, indigenous epistemologies, language ecology, professional standards policy discourses, and critical analyses of frameworks including postcolonialism, multiculturalism and culturally responsive and relevant pedagogical approaches.

Download or read book Geoscience Research and Outreach written by Vincent C. H. Tong and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From energy and water resources to natural disasters, and from changing climatic patterns to the evolution of the Earth’s deep interior, geoscience research affects people’s lives in many ways and on many levels. This book offers a stimulating cross-disciplinary perspective on the important relationship between geoscience research and outreach activities for schools and for the general public. The contributors – academics, research scientists, science educators and outreach program educators – describe and evaluate outreach programs from around the world. A section entitled Field-based Approaches includes a chapter describing an initiative to engage Alaskan communities and students in research, and another on problem-based learning in the field setting. The Online Approaches section discusses ways to connect students and scientists using online forums; use of the web and social media, including the United Nations University and its experience with the design of a web magazine featuring geoscience research; and video clips on marine geoscience created by students and scientists. The section on Workshop and Laboratory-based Approaches includes a chapter on teaching geochronology to high school students, and another describing an extracurricular school activity program on meteorology. The Program Design section presents chapters on Integrating Geoscience Research in Primary and Secondary Education, on ways to bridge research with science education at the high school level, and on use of online geoscience data from the Great Lakes. The concluding section, Promoting Research-enhanced Outreach, offers chapters on Geoscience Outreach Education with the local community by a leading research-intensive university, and on the use of research to promote action in Earth science professional development for schoolteachers.Geoscience Research and Outreach: Schools and Public Engagement will benefit geoscience researchers who wish to promote their work beyond academia. It offers guidance to those seeking research funding from agencies, which increasingly request detailed plans for outreach activities in research proposals. Policymakers, educators and scientists working in museums, learned societies and public organizations who wish to widen participation will also find this book useful. Together with the companion volume Geoscience Research and Education: Teaching at Universities, this book showcases the key role that geoscience research plays in a wide spectrum of educational settings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in rural communities is bound to change with historically unprecedented speed in the coming decades. How will this change be guided by local, national and global policies in order to enhance the livelihoods of rural inhabitants and to overcome the growing division of rural and urban areas? The contributions in this publication, ranging from scientific papers to short reports from practitioners, are grouped around 4 major themes: political and institutional frameworks to foster rural development; natural resources management; broadening the technological base of rural economies; and improved linkages between urban and rural areas. The overall message is unanimous: there is a promising future for the rural areas worldwide if adequate policies can be enforced and more efficient and fair institutions can be created.
