Nuclear Age Education

这是一个为期三年的项目，为初中和高中教师提供有关核时代问题的准确和平衡的信息。该项目采用跨学科的方法，使用来自物理、教育和社会科学学科的教师。在每个夏季，40名教师将参加为期三周的密集课程，内容涉及核时代特有的科学和技术内容。除了学习内容，教师还要准备在学校使用的材料。重点将放在跨学科教材的开发上。资金用于后续活动，包括夏季方案之后在春季举行的为期三天的讲习班。成功的课程材料将由研讨会参与者展示和讨论。将向所有与会者分发以这些讨论为基础的课程指南。美国国家科学基金会正在与加州大学戴维斯分校、全球冲突与合作研究所（IGCC）和劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室（LLNL）合作支持这一项目。该项目的国家科学基金会部分为271,918美元，与其他来源的283,271美元相匹配。因此，匹配大约是国家科学基金基金的104%。

This is a three year program which provides middle school and high school teachers with accurate and balanced information about nuclear age issues. The project takes an interdisciplinary approach using faculty from the disciplines of physics, education and social science. In each of the three summers 40 teachers will take an intensive three-week course covering scientific and technical content material specific to the nuclear age. In addition to learning the content teachers will prepare materials for use in the schools. Emphasis will be placed upon development of interdisciplinary school materials. Funds provide for follow up activities which include a three day workshop in the spring following the summer program. Successful curriculum materials will be presented and discussed by the workshop participants. A curriculum guide based upon these discussions will be disseminated to all participants. The National Science Foundation is supporting this program in collaboration with the University of California, Davis, the Institute of Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The NSF portion of the project is $271,918 which is matched with $283,271 from other sources. Thus the match is approximately 104% of the NSF funds.
