Issue-Oriented Science Teaching and Learning

该提案提供了一个计划，以提高教师的内容 背景和教学策略使用的方法， 以问题为导向的科学教学项目。 那里 是四个教师增强单元和四个内容 拟议在2005年期间开发和测试的增强单元 该项目 内容增强单元由主题组成 比如化学反应，教师的毒理学， 评估和沟通，以及有毒废物。 此外 开发和测试单位，领导力增强 会议将在劳伦斯科学大厅举行 1991年、1992年和1993年的夏天。 在为期31个月的项目将提供13天 直接教师发展和领导力培训的70 中学教师和一周的领导力培训， 与这些教师相关的35位教学领导人。 该项目的目标是开发一个系统， 有助于改变教师教授科学的方式。 的 项目的目标是：（1）开发，测试， 修订、制作和分发一套以问题为导向的 科学教师增强材料;（2）建立，测试， 并修改一个鼓励领导团队接受培训的模式， 通过该项目开展实质性的师资培训， 与项目目标相关的活动， （3）帮助支持和扩大社区的影响力。 项目吸引了大量的公共和私营部门 经费 费用分摊相当于NSF奖励的20%。//

This proposal offers a plan to enhance teacher content background and teaching strategy using an approach involving issues oriented science teaching and learning project. There are four teacher enhancement units and four content enhancement units proposed for development and testing during the project. The content enhancement units consist of topics such as, chemical reactions, toxicology for teachers, risk assessment and communication, and toxic waste. In addition to the development and testing units, Leadership Enhancement Conferences will be held at the Lawrence Hall of Science during the summers of 1991, 1992, and 1993. Over a period of 31 months the project will provide 13 days of direct teacher development and leadership training to 70 middle school teachers and one week of leadership training to 35 instructional leaders associated with those teachers. The goal of the project is to develop a system that can contribute to changing the way teachers teach science. The project has the following objectives: (1) Develop, test, revise, produce, and disseminate a set of issue-oriented science teacher enhancement materials; (2) Establish, test, and revise a model that encourages leadership teams trained by the project to carry out substantive teacher enhancement activities related to the project's goals in their local districts; and (3) Help support and expand the impact of the project by attracting significant public and private sector funding. Cost sharing is equivalent to 20% of the NSF award.//
