Enhancing Interactive Teaching and Learning in the Precollege Classroom

通过这个奖项，化学教育研究所（ICE）将 继续努力加强各级化学教育， 促进持续的专业成长和发展， 传播创造性的“动手”教学方法。 在这 项目，研讨会，在过去三年的发展将在 五所不同的学院和大学：威斯康星州大学， 麦迪逊;加州大学伯克利分校; 马里兰州大学和格里利的北方科罗拉多大学。 以下活动将发生在一个或多个学院 1987年夏天：教师化学基础 最小的背景;化学补充高中前 为小学和初中/初中教师开设课程，学习如何 向年幼的孩子介绍科学;化学仪器， 丰富高素质教师的现代技术背景 技术. 共有360名教师将受益于这些不同的 程序. 参加者将于下列活动结束后， 夏天的经验。 在ICE项目的这一阶段， 将编辑过去几年编写的材料， 为广泛传播而出版。 评价考核 该项目的影响将继续下去。 这一项目值得支持，因为它涉及全国， 几所大学合作解决一个国家问题， ICE支持的先前活动的明显成功，以及 尝试建立全国大学前化学和大学化学网络 教师继续培养优秀的化学教育在所有 程度.

Through this award, the Institute for Chemical Education (ICE) will continue its work to enhance chemical education at all levels by fostering continuing professional growth and developing and disseminating creative "hands-on" teaching methodology. In this project, workshops, evolved over the past three years will be given at five different colleges and universities: University of Wisconsin, Madison; University of Arizona; University of California, Berkeley; University of Maryland; and University of Northern Colorado, Greeley. The following activities will occur at one or more of the collegiate sites during the summer of 1987: Chemistry Fundamentals for teachers with minimal background; Chemistry Supplements for Pre-High School Classes for primary and middle/junior high school teachers to learn how to introduce science to younger children; Chemical Instrumentation to enrich the well qualified teacher's background in modern technological techniques. A total of 360 teachers will benefit from these varied programs. Participants will conduct inservice out-reach activities for peers after the summer experience. During this phase of the ICE project, resource materials developed during the past several years will be edited and published for wide dissemination. Evaluation and assessment of the effects of the project will continue. This project is worthy of support because of its national scope, the collaboration of several universities in addressing a national problem, the apparent success of prior activities supported by ICE, and the attempt to build a national network of precollege and college chemistry teachers to continue fostering excellent chemical education at all levels.
