Enlist Micros: Phase III -- Models for Replicating a Teacher-Enhancement Project

在这个项目中，生物科学课程研究(BSCS)正在复制Enlist Micros--一种帮助科学教师使用微型计算机的实施模式和课程。这个为期42个月的项目有两个目的：1)开发和评估三种复制教师提升计划的模式，2)在全国各地建立征募微型计算机。该项目使用两种模式来复制Enlist Micros：1)培训者-培训者模式和传播模式。在三年多的时间里，12个地点参加了培训者--培训者模式(模式1)，并使用了有750名科学教师的征募微型计算机系统。BSC的工作人员还在12个地点与人们进行咨询，以帮助另外750名科学教师实施教育计算(模式2)。最后，举办传播讲习班(模式3)，向另外100人征募Micros，这些人可能与2000名科学教师一起工作。因此，该项目正在建立地区性网站，在没有外部支持的情况下继续招募Micros。这些网站将改善3000多名科学教师对微型计算机的使用。此外，我们现正研究这两种推广教师培训计划的模式的成本效益。一笔相当于国家科学基金会奖励的近193%的金额将作为费用分摊提供。

In this project, the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) is replicating ENLIST Micros--an implementation model and curriculum that helps science teachers use microcomputers. This 42-month project has two purposes: 1) to develop and evaluate three models to replicate teacher- enhancement programs, and 2) to establish ENLIST Micros at sites throughout the nation. The project uses two models to replicate ENLIST Micros: 1) a trainer-of-trainers model, and a dissemination model. Over three years, 12 sites participated in the trainer-of-trainers model (model 1) and use ENLIST Micros with 750 science teachers. The BSCS staff also consults with people at 12 sites to help another 750 science teachers implement educational computing (model 2). Lastly, dissemination workshops (model 3) present ENLIST Micros to another 100 people, who may work with 2,000 science teachers. As a result, the project is establishing regional sites that continue ENLIST Micros without outside support. Those sites are to improve the use of microcomputers by more than 3,000 science teachers. Furthermore, we are determining the cost effectiveness of the two models for disseminating teacher- enhancement projects. An amount equivalent to nearly 193% of the NSF award is being contributed as cost-sharing.
