Advanced Student Research in Secondary Schools: Three Exemplars

Name: Steven Rogg
Department: Education
Type of research: Independent research
Funding: self

Abstract

A comprehensive review of recent research on science research apprenticeships has documented multiple benefits, including scientific knowledge and skills, career aspirations, and collaboration abilities. Subsequent research finds authentic student research (ASR) as a “signature factor” contributing to value-added outcomes. Diverse ASR models, however, continue to emerge from rapid growth in secondary school programs. Three distinct exemplars are compared: (1) The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA), (2) The Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science (PRISMS), and (3) Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy. An explicitly developmental approach — throughout and integral to the secondary school curriculum — is indicated in preparation for the ASR experience and for ultimate success.
