Arkansas STRIVE: A Joint Venture For Math/Science Teacher Enhancement Through Involvement In Research

阿肯色大学小石城分校要求提供三年的支持，以建立一个自我维持的项目，将中学数学/科学教师安置在大学或工业实验室的研究岗位上。阿肯色州/奋进从一项为期三年的试点计划发展而来，该计划得到了NSF通过橡树岭联合大学(ORAU)和阿肯色州六家企业和机构的基金的支持。该计划最终将为每年至少50名中学数学/科学教师提供研究经验。教师们将进行为期7周的研究。之后，他们将在课程开发的中央网站上呆上一周，以制定改进教师个人教学活动的计划，并为编写各自领域的课程改革建议报告做出贡献。本学年至少还安排了五次会议，每名与会者负责指导其所在学校/学区的其他5名教师。该计划的一个结果将是注入研究研讨会，制作视频、计算机和其他材料，向阿肯色州和全国的教师提供。费用分摊是所需资金的94%。

The University of Arkansas, Little Rock is requesting three years of support to build a self sustaining program to place secondary math/science teachers in research positions in university or industrial laboratories. Arkansas/STRIVE has developed from a three year pilot program which was supported both by NSF funds through Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) and six Arkansas businesses and institutions. the program will ultimately provide research experiences for at least 50 secondary math/science teachers per year. The teachers will engage in research for 7 weeks. They will afterwards spend one week at a central site on curriculum development leading to a plan for improvement in the teacher's personal pedagogical activities and to contributions to the preparation of a Recommendation for Curriculum Change report in their respective area of Life Science, physical Science or Mathematics/Computer. A minimum of five more meetings are scheduled during the academic year with each participant being responsible for mentoring 5 other teachers in their school/school district. One result of the program will be to infuse the research workshops, to create video, computer and other materials which will be made available to teachers throughout Arkansas and nationally. Cost sharing is 94% of the funds requested.
