Workshops For High School Science Teachers: Ethics In The Classroom

9320255 Goldfarb每年三个暑假，来自15所高中的精心挑选的一对科学教师将参加一个项目，帮助他们重新制定他们的科学课程，以便为学生提供在伦理探究的背景下学习概念和技能的机会。教师们将探讨执业科学家面临的各种当代问题，这些问题提出了道德和价值观问题。他们会根据自己的兴趣和经验，把要发展的问题选作教训。课程将特别关注与生物技术爆炸性发展相关的众多伦理问题，教师还将进行基因工程实验，以说明这些技术及其应用。在秋季和春季期间举行的后续会议将用来鼓励教师对分享和批评他们在将道德和价值观问题纳入自己的课程方面取得的进展。项目指导员将与教师一起编辑已开发的教材，并分发给所有参与者。该研究所的案例研究和教学材料以及教材也将广泛分发给其他感兴趣的教师和管理人员。一个基础广泛的咨询委员会将监督和评价该项目，一名项目顾问和参与者本人也将监督和评价该项目。***

9320255 Goldfarb In each of three summers, carefully selected pairs of science teachers from fifteen high schools will take part in a program to help them reformulate their science courses so as to offer students the opportunity to learn concepts and skills within the context of ethical inquiry. The teachers will explore a variety of contemporary issues confronting practicing scientists which raise questions of ethics and values. They will select issues for development into lessons on the basis of their own interests and experience. Specific attention will be given to the multitude of ethics issues related to the explosive developments in biotechnology, and the teachers will also peform genetic engineering experiments to illustrate the techniques and their applications. Follow-up sessions held during the fall and spring will be used to encourage the teacher pairs to share and critique the progress they have made in integrating ethics and values issues into their own curricula. The project instructors, working with the teachers, will edit teaching materials that have been developed and distribute them to all participants. Both the case studies and instructional materials for the institute, and the teaching materials, will also be widely disseminated to other interested teachers and administrators. A broadbased advisory committee will oversee and evaluate the project, as will a project consultant and the participants themselves. ***
