Teleapprenticeships: A Model for Science and Mathematics Education on Computer-based Networks

本课题将介绍和研究新的教学模式的效果 使用基于计算机的电子消息网络的方法。 这些方法，称为“远程学徒”将涉及学生， 教师和当地私营部门的合作伙伴， 涉及科学和数学的特殊问题。 学生可能在 全世界各个城市都在研究一个问题， 他们所在地区的饮用水短缺。 虽然他们通过以下方式共享数据： 电子手段，每个都可以在本地开发和分析数据 在当地专家的帮助下-例如大学或公司 研究人员 学生之间的互动过程，以及与他们的 导师以及该计划的其他成果将在一个 系统和精心设计的研究。 结果将 通过各种活动传播。 由合作伙伴分担的费用将占国家科学基金的102%。 基金会资助。

This project will introduce and study the effects of new instructional methodologies using computer based electronic message networks. These methodologies, called "Teleapprenticeships" will involve students, teachers, and local area private sector partners in the study of particular issues involving science and mathematics. Students may be in various cities throughout the world all studying a problem such as the shortage of drinking water in their regions. While they share data by electronic means, each may be developing and analyzing the data locally with the help of local experts - for example university or corporate researchers. The process of student interaction with each other and with their mentors as well as other outcomes of the program will be studied in a systematic and carefully designed research study. Results will be disseminated through a variety of activities. Cost sharing by the partners will total 102% of the National Science Foundation Funding.
