The purpose of this proposal is to improve the teaching of science at the junior high and senior high school levels by training teachers to use science fiction films as a supplement to the regular curriculum. Such an approach supports the classroom teachers' efforts to teach science and its relationships to technology and society and to motivate pre-college students to study science. Two recent NSF grants funded the preparation of a teacher's guide describing the physical principles illustrated or violated in a number of science fiction films deemed suitable for use in a ninth or tenth grade general science course. This proposal will make use of both the materials and techniques developed under the prior grants. Master teachers and non-master teachers will receive intensive instruction in the use of science fiction films and in a number of substantive topics in physics and biology related to the films during a two-week institute during the summer. Each team of three teachers will have the support of one master teacher as they implement the program in their classrooms during the school year. The principle investigator has a great deal of expertise in this area. He was awarded an NSF grant in l978 under the Local Course Improvement Program to develop an introductory level science course at Temple University using science fiction films to introduce students to science. This popular course has since been taught nine times and has reached hundreds of students, many of whom have stated that they would never have enrolled in a traditional science course. In l984 an additional NSF grant allow him to expand the effort to include precollege students. The teachers guide written as a result of that grant will be used to support the training of teachers in the current grant.

这项建议的目的是改善科学教学， 通过培训教师， 把科幻电影作为常规课程的补充。 这种方法支持课堂教师的教学努力 科学及其与技术和社会的关系， 大学预科学生学习科学。 国家科学基金会最近的两笔赠款资助了教师指南的编写工作 描述物理原理的，用数字表示的或违反的 科幻电影被认为适合在第九或第十 普通科学课程。 该提案将利用 材料和技术开发下以前的赠款。 硕士教师和非硕士教师将获得密集的 在科幻电影的使用指令，并在一些 与电影有关的物理学和生物学的实质性主题， 两周的暑期实习。 每队三名教师将 有一个大师的支持，因为他们实施该计划， 他们的教室在学年。 首席调查员在这一领域具有丰富的专门知识。 1978年，他获得了国家科学基金会的资助， 在坦普尔开发入门级科学课程的计划 大学利用科幻电影向学生介绍科学。 这门颇受欢迎的课程已经教授了九次， 数百名学生，其中许多人表示，他们永远不会 都报名参加了传统的科学课程。 在1984年， 国家科学基金会的拨款使他能够扩大努力，包括预科学生。 由于这笔赠款而编写的教师指南将用于 在目前的赠款中支持教师培训。
