Abstract
Since its fi rst fi eld season (2006–2007), the ANDRILL (Antarctic Geological Drilling)
program has implemented an innovative
educational and public outreach (EPO) program
known as ARISE (ANDRILL Research Immersion for Science Educators), which has actively involved a group of selected educators in every phase of the research, from participation in fi eld activities to discussion of the scientifi c results. This method of research immersion has led to an impressive list of achievements, including the development of quality outreach initiatives and diverse educational materials, the involvement of a large number of schools using these resources, the creation of an international network of strongly motivated polar geoscience
educators, and the realization of new
and un expected professional opportunities
for educators. In Italy this program initiated a specifi c project (progettosmilla.it), in accordance
with the objectives of the ARISE Program.
Thanks to the use of both a wide range
of instruments (online and material) and the
network of personal relationships provided
by teachers involved in the program, ARISE
has resulted in many short-term accomplishments.
The development of new partnerships
with local and national institutions has led to a number of middle- and long-term processes, rarely seen in similar EPO projects, resulting in the attainment of other goals. Research immersion experiences promote close interactions between teachers and scientists, and provide the potential for accomplishing other long-term educational outcomes. The shared development of educational resources by scientists and educators through ARISE has created an opportunity to advance scientifi c
education within schools and, through outreach, in the general populace.
