The Global Laboratory II

我们建议继续发展和探讨 透过一项科学课程， 注重学生研究。 成功的关键在于 方法是技术，包括：学生现场站 使用低成本MBL现场监测器、探头和仪器; 实验生长室和软件工具。 建筑 到目前为止，该项目开发的材料和技术， 我们计划仔细评估和继续发展 我们的方法将在9月开始的为期两年的实地测试中， 1992. 这些数据表明， 所采用的技术和战略将回答重要的 关于我们方法的力量和可行性的问题。 我们的教学策略的主要组成部分是： 1)关注全球生态学; 2）建立学校研究 技术能力不断提高的电站; 3）提供 学生和教师的一套意见， 全球生态学的实验， 实施; 4）促进学生研究的发展 技能：5）创建学生研究人员社区 通过远程计算和其他共享技术 经验 我们在全球实验室这一阶段的工作 项目将集中支持和评估 实地测试，开发技术，填补我们的空白， 提供实验性全球生态学的能力， 支持课程材料，并创建教师支持 战略布局

We propose to continue to develop and explore the enhancement of student learning of science through an emphasis on student research. Key to the success of this approach are technologies including: student field stations using low-cost MBL field monitors, probes, and instruments; experimental growth chambers; and software tools. Building on materials and technology developed so far in the project, we plan a careful evaluation and continued development of our approach in a two-year field test starting September, 1992. The data this yields about the role of the technologies and strategies employed will answer important questions about the power and feasibility of our approach. The major components of our instructional strategy are to: 1) focus on global ecology; 2) establish school research stations with increasing technological capacity; 3) offer students and teachers a suite of observations and experiments in global ecology that can be easily implemented; 4) foster the development of student research skills: and 5) create a community of student researchers knit together through telecomputing and other shared experiences. Our work in this phase of the Global Lab project will concentrate on supporting and evaluating the field test, developing technologies that fill gaps in our ability to offer experimental global ecology, developing supporting curricula material, and creating teacher support strategies.
