2025 - 2029
Goals
The goals of the Methods to Optimize Contextualized Science Instruction (MOCSI) project are to:
- Improve science instruction in K-12 schools through connections to authentic contexts in teacher and student education
- Bring the strengths of field science learning to a wider audience
Through the MOCSI project teachers will have the opportunity to engage in learning that supports the use of contextual information from field experiences and curated multimedia sources in your science instruction. Teachers also participate in research focused on their experience in the program. Stipend and university credit are available for participation.
What are Data Nuggets?
As part of the project we are partnering with the Data Nuggets team. Data Nuggets are free classroom lessons, co-designed by scientists and teachers, designed to bring contemporary research and authentic data into the classroom.
