Schlenker, Richard M.
This informational packet contains the materials necessary to administer the annual Department of Defense Dependent Schools Pacific Region Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS) at the high school and middle school levels. The symposium program is a calendar year research program which includes one week symposium of students (grade 8-12) who have completed experimental research in any of the sciences, mathematics, the humanities, or computer sciences. Students who attend the one week Symposium present research findings and research proposals; visit importance to the future of mankind. The importance of using a humanistic approach to scientific research is stressed. All grade 8-12 students enrolled in Department of Defense Dependents Schools Pacific Region schools are eligible to participate. The objectives of the Symposium Program are to: promote research and experimentation in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering at the grade 8-12 level; recognize the significance of research in human affairs, and the importance of humane and ethical principles in the application of research results; search out talented youth and their teachers, recognize their accomplishments at symposia and encourage their continued interest and participation in the sciences, mathematics, and engineering; expand the horizons of research-oriented students by exposing them to opportunities in the academic, industrial, and governmental communities, and; increase the number of future adults capable of conducting research and development. The pamphlet is intended to be used by teachers and administrators as they manage the JSHS program within their schools and by students as they conduct their research, write about their research projects, and track the various deadlines which must be met as part of the program. A symposium overview, program description, program objectives, themes, awards, eligibility, fees, project guidelines, abstracts, computer use, judging guidelines, oral presentations, poster sessions, and travel are discussed. The appendices contain project writing guidelines, program application forms, abstract forms, and examples of abstracts of research conducted by other Pacific Region JSHS students. (ZWH)
