Enhancing Interactive Teaching and Learning in the Precollege Classroom

通过这一奖项，美国化学教育协会（ICE）将继续努力，通过促进持续的专业成长，发展和传播创造性的“动手”教学方法，加强各级化学教育。在这个项目中，过去三年发展起来的研讨会将在五所不同的学院和大学举行：威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校；亚利桑那大学；加州大学伯克利分校；马里兰大学；以及北科罗拉多大学格里利分校。以下活动将于1987年夏季在一个或多个学院地点进行：化学基础课程，面向具有最低背景的教师；为小学和初中教师提供的《学前化学补习班》，帮助他们学习如何向幼儿介绍科学知识；以丰富现代技术技术方面的高素质教师背景。共有360名教师将从这些不同的项目中受益。参加者将于暑期实习结束后，为同侪进行服务外展活动。在ICE项目的这一阶段，将编辑和出版过去几年编写的资源材料，以便广泛传播。评估和评估项目效果的工作将继续进行。这个项目值得支持，因为它的全国范围，几所大学合作解决一个全国性的问题，ICE支持的先前活动的明显成功，以及建立一个全国大学预科和大学化学教师网络的尝试，继续培养各级优秀的化学教育。

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.
