Computing and Algorithmic Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers

这项国家高级计算机科学/高中数学/科学教师数学教学领导项目将为期六周的计算机、PASCAL和算法数学暑期强化课程与个性化的指导家庭学习操作相结合，并在中间的学年年中举行两天的会议。参与计划的教师将在完成课程后为其学校举办在职讲习班/研讨会。该项目的目标是帮助高中教师：精通计算机科学的本质，即算法的构造和测试；o有密集的监督实践教学经验；O成为主讲教师，并为其学区开办讲习班；第一届夏季(1987)60名教师，一半来自加利福尼亚州，一半来自全国申请者池，来自不同的人口统计和种族背景，将在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校会面。他们将学习：PASCAL的结构化编程；PASCAL的数据结构；以及算法数学。在其间的学年中，将有一个为期九个月的指导家庭学习计划，由项目教员和工作人员通过热线电话、邮寄作业和在UCSB微型计算机实验室举行的年中小型会议来指导。明年夏天(1988年)，同样的60名教师将返回加州大学伯克利分校学习：计算机系统；编程语言的组织和实施；以及算法数学的主题。教师还将参加研讨会，讨论如何为所在学区的同事开发计算机工作坊，以及如何将课程作业转化为课堂使用的材料。该项目的负责人是马文·马库斯，他是数学和计算机科学教授，也是UCSB的副校长。马库斯在数学科学方面的工作在国际上享有盛誉。高级人员将包括莱克福里斯特学院数学和计算机科学系主任兼教授拉尔夫·希弗利，高级数学科学家、研究性学习专家，以及来自UCSB和莱克福里斯特的评估员。UCSB分担的费用包括支付大学扩建主任的行政费用，以及独家使用微型计算机实验室。

This national leadership project for superior level computer science/mathematics instruction of high school mathematics/science teachers combines two six-week intensive summer instruction in computers, Pascal and algorithmic mathematics with individualized guided home study operation and a two day meeting at mid-year during the intervening academic year. The participating teachers will run in- service workshops/seminars for their schools, upon completion of the program. The goals of the project are to assist high school teachers to: o be proficient in teaching the essence of computer science, namely the construction and testing of algorithms; o experience intensive supervised hands-on instruction; o become lead teachers and run workshops for their school districts; The first summer (1987) 60 teachers, half from California and half from a national applicant pool, from a varied demographic and ethnic backgrounds, will meet at the University of California, Santa Barbara. They will study: structured programming in Pascal; data structures in Pascal; and algorithmic mathematics. During the intervening academic year, there will be a nine month program of guided home study under the direction of project faculty and staff via a hot line telephone, mail-in assignments and a mid-year mini-conference at the UCSB microcomputer laboratory. The next summer (1988) the same 60 teachers will return to UCSB to study: computer systems; programming language organization and implementation; and topics in algorithmic mathematics. The teachers will also take seminars on how to develop computer workshops for colleagues in their school districts, and how to translate their course work into materials for class use. The project director is Marvin Marcus, professor of mathematics and computer science and a vice-chancellor at UCSB. Marcus is recognized internationally for his work in the mathematical sciences. The senior personnel will consist of Ralph Shively, professor and chairman of the department of mathematics and computer science at Lake Forest College, senior mathematical scientists, research learning expert, and evaluators from UCSB and Lake Forest. Cost sharing by UCSB consists of paying the administrative costs of the director of university extensions, and exclusive use of the micro- computer laboratory.
