Experimenting with Robotics Leads to Further Understanding of Science, Mathematics, and Technology

通过机器人实验进一步了解科学、数学和技术是一个为期两年的项目，由来自纽约市公立和非公立学校的200名小学和初中科学和计算机教师参与，旨在将微处理器和电路基础科学基本原理的学习与逻辑运算和计算机控制相结合。在八个星期六的工作坊中，教师将建造和使用电路、电磁铁和晶体管。徽标程序将控制开关，这些开关将反过来控制每个参与者将建造的机器人。教师将参加每月的后续会议，并在课堂上得到项目工作人员和志愿科学家的支持。制作的材料将包括一本手册和一盘记录改进的录像带。这一合作努力涉及CUNY研究生院和大学中心高级教育研究中心、未来学校研究所(PI是主席)、纽约社区学校学区教育委员会、美国物理学会、纽约大学库兰特数学科学研究所和纽约州教育部学习技术中心的机器人研究实验室的成员。通过一体化的科技教学，参与者将增加对各种概念的理解，有更多的教学时间，能够为学生提供更深入的指导。

Experimenting with Robotics Leads to Further Understanding of Science, Mathematics, and Technology is a two year project for 200 elementary and junior high school science and computer teachers from New York City public and non-public schools to integrate the learning of fundamental principles in science underlying the microprocessor and electric circuits, with logical operations and computer control. In eight Saturday workshops teachers will build and use circuits, electromagnets, and transistors. Logo programs will control switches which will in turn control the robot each participant will build. Teachers will attend monthly follow-up meetings and be supported in the classroom by the project staff and volunteer scientists. Materials produced will include a manual and a videotape which document the enhancement. This collaborative effort involves The Center for Advanced Study in Education/CASE of the Graduate School and University Center, CUNY, The Institute for Schools of the Future (The PI is President), New York Community School Districts Board of Education, scientists who are members of the American Physical Society and the Robotics Research Laboratory of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, and the Center for Learning Technologies, New York State Department of Education. Through an integrated approach to teaching science and technology, participants will increase their understanding of various concepts, have more time for teaching, and be able to provide students with more in depth instruction.
