Inquiry Group on Public Participation in Research Seeks Input    
The Center for Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE) Inquiry Group on Public Participation in Research is seeking information on the ways that non-scientists are participating in scientific investigations. Some of the questions include:

· What are new and innovative ways in which non-scientists are contributing to or doing research?

· What are models for public-scientist interaction around scientific research?

· How do radio, television, museum visits, and other ISE experiences facilitate or push the boundaries of public participation in research?



Please email thoughts, leads, publication references, and/or case studies to Rick Bonney, CAISE Inquiry Group leader and Director of Program Development and Evaluation, at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at reb5@cornell.edu.

One Year Later - Results from SC Middle Schools Using EIC For Learning      
South Carolina middle school students are engaged in real-world, community-based, and standards-aligned environmental investigative and service-learning projects that improve their behavior, attitudes and grades. Teachers of all disciplines, together with parents, local businesses, universities, and federal, state, county and non-profit environmental groups are helping students stay in class and improve their learning. First year quantitative and qualitative data collected from an outside evaluator from ten South Carolina pilot middle schools indicate adolescents are responding very favorably to these new instructional strategies.

Teacher confidence and classroom management skills improved as students responded. The Environment as an Integrating Context (EIC) model is based on national research conducted by the State Education and Environment Roundtable (SEER). Visit the SEER© website at www.seer.org for information.
