AP Chemistry by Satellite

来自小型高中的学生通常在教育上 当他们进入大学时处于不利地位，因为他们的学校 缺乏教授这些高级课程所需的资源 帮助他们在大学里取得成功 这个项目 将决定通过卫星进行现场侦察是否可行 为高中生提供高级课程的手段 在化学上。 该机会将提供给学校， 规模太小或缺乏资源，无法提供进阶先修课程 化学，但它确实提供了一年的主题。 的 格式将被设计为包含尽可能多的理想的 尽可能地提供现场课堂教学的功能。 它将 包括以录像和计算机为基础学习经验， 学生们通常不能在现场教室里完成。 学生将能够提出问题并回答他们的问题。 在每一个电视节目的远程指导。 他们会做 在自己的学校实验室进行实验，并将交换 数据使用计算机。 地方监管将是 学校的“一年级”化学老师的责任， 将以合作教师的身份与大学互动。 最近的研究表明， 在大学阶段坚持不懈地学习数学 而科学是学生学习的机会 高级安置或荣誉课程的科目。 通过 让农村学校的学生有这样的经历， 该项目涉及两个重要问题：人力资源和 股权

Students from small high schools are often educationally disadvantaged when they reach college because their schools lacked the resources required to teach those advanced courses that would have helped them succeed in college. This project will determine whether live instruction-by-satellite is a viable means of providing high school students with an advanced course in chemistry. The opportunity will be offered to schools which are too small or lack resources to provide Advanced Placement Chemistry, but which do offer one year of the subject. The format will be designed to incorporate as many of the desirable features of live classroom instruction as are possible. It will include video- and computer-based learning experiences for students that usually cannot be done in a live classroom. Students will be able to ask questions and respond to their distant instructor during each telecast. They will do experiments in their own school laboratories and will exchange data using computers. Local supervision will be the responsibility of the school's "first-year" chemistry teacher who will interact with the University as a cooperating teacher. It has recently been shown that one of the strongest correlates with persistence at the college level in the study of mathematics and the sciences is the opportunity for the student to take Advanced Placement or Honors courses in the subjects. By allowing students in rural schools to have this experience, the project addresses two important issues: human resources and equity.
