9254439 Hooper The Project to Improve Science Models (PRISM) is a multifaceted plan to improvethe science preparation of all prospective teachers of grades 1-9 by transformingpreservice courses and field experiences. Objectives of this project are university faculty collaborating with professional teachers to effect the undergraduate educationof pre-service teachers in order to: increase understanding of science concepts,processes and skills; develop creative skills and positive attitudes toward science; and ultimately transfer these competencies into classrooms. The major components of the project include the development of: three core content courses (12 semester hours) integrating six science disciplines; a 3 semester hour infused methods course; effective modeling of multimedia instructional technology; a mentor teacher network, and a science resource center. The project is a collaboration developed by a steering committee of eight teachers working with university faculty, input from both Arts and Sciences faculty and Education faculty, 60 area teachers, and a local educational consortia, CESAs. The University faculty is designing integrated courses infusing multimedia technology; the teachers serve as mentors for over 1000 prospective teachers; and, CESAs provides technical assistance, educational materials, and logistical support. Materials being developed make the project model available and transportable so as to affect positive changes in 1-9 preservice teacher education. ***y

9254439改进科学模型项目(PRISM)是一项多方面的计划，旨在通过转变教学前课程和实地经验，改进所有1-9年级准教师的科学准备工作。该项目的目标是大学教员与专业教师合作，对职前教师进行本科教育，以便：增加对科学概念、过程和技能的理解；培养创造性技能和对科学的积极态度；并最终将这些能力转移到课堂上。该项目的主要组成部分包括：开发三门核心内容课程(12个学期)，整合六个科学学科；一个3个学期的灌输方法课程；多媒体教学技术的有效建模；一个导师教师网络，以及一个科学资源中心。该项目是一个由八名教师与大学教师、文理学院和教育学院、60名地区教师以及当地教育联盟CESA组成的指导委员会共同开发的合作项目。该大学的教职员工正在设计融入多媒体技术的综合课程；这些教师为1000多名未来的教师提供指导；CESA提供技术援助、教材和后勤支持。正在开发的材料使项目模式可用和可移植，以影响1-9职前教师教育的积极变化。*y
