Misconception Videos Project (MVP)

哈佛大学天文台建议制作教师培训视频和研讨会材料，以帮助科学教师理解和处理科学中的误解。在这一领域已进行的大量研究的基础上，将开发一系列教师培训录像带，并在全国范围内向教师提供。六盘28分钟的录音带将解决生物、化学、地球科学、工程、数学和物理领域的误解。另外一套30分钟的工作坊录像带将包含学生和教师的访谈样本，以及有效和无效的教学方法样本，并将附有活动手册。一个由六名有误解研究背景的教师组成的小组将在暑期研讨会上担任编写材料的顾问小组。录像带系列和研讨会材料将来自《星空计划》的开创性工作；录像带将是试点视频《私人宇宙》的延伸。有一个费用分摊是37%的金额要求从NSF。

Harvard College Observatory proposes to create teacher training videos and workshop materials which will help science teachers understand and cope with misconceptions in science. Building on a body of research which has been done in this area, a series of teacher-training video tapes will be developed and made available to teachers on a nation wide basis. Six 28-minute tapes will address misconceptions in the fields of biology, chemistry, earth science, engineering, mathematics, and physics. An additional set of six 30-minute workshop tapes will contain sample student and teacher interviews and samples of both effective and ineffective teaching methods, and will be accompanied by activity books. A panel of six teachers with a background in misconception research will serve in summer workshops as an advisory group in the development of the materials. The video tape series and workshop materials will be derived from the work pioneered in Project Star; the tapes will be an extension of the pilot video, A Private Universe. There is a cost-sharing is 37% of the amount requested from NSF.
