PROJECT 2061: Education for a Changing Future

[9350003]卢瑟福美国科学促进会（AAAS）正在继续其在科学、数学和技术的教与学方面的系统改革计划。第一阶段从1985年开始，到1989年出版《面向全体美国人的科学》（SFAA）结束，描述了一个有科学素养的人应该知道什么，尤其是在科学方面。除了特定学科的内容外，还描述了跨领域的主题和思维习惯。第二阶段是为教育工作者提供一套全新的改革工具，以重新设计课程和学校，以实施学生资助计划。六个校本网站将开发基于探究、解释、设计和问题的课程模式，以传递SFAA的科学，并开发课程块（约0.25年）。第二阶段还将提供一个课程设计框架，供课程设计者、学区、考试开发人员、教师教育工作者使用，描述如何在实施SFAA的各种方法中，从投入、限制、选择和成本等方面实现预期的学习成果。第二阶段的第四部分是一系列蓝图，其中建议了需要做出的改变，以便2061计划的课程和教学改革在学校环境中站稳脚跟并存活下来。这些蓝图包括教师教育、评估、材料和技术、课程联系、学校组织、家长和社区、高等教育、商业和工业、教育研究、公平、教育政策和金融等主题。项目的其他方面由其他人资助。* * *

9350003 Rutherford The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is continuing its program of systemic reform in the teaching and learning of science, mathematics and technology. Phase I, which started in 1985 and ended in 1989 with the publication of Science for All Americans (SFAA), described what a scientifically literate person should know, particularly in science. In addition to discipline specific content, cross-cutting themes and habits of mind were described. Phase II is to provide an entirely new set of reform tools for educators to use to redesign curricula and schools to implement SFAA. Six school-based sites are to develop curriculum models based on inquiry, explanation, design and issues which deliver the science of SFAA and to develop blocks of curriculum (about 0.25 of a year long). Phase II is also to provide a Framework for Curriculum Design to be used by curriculum designers, school districts, test developers, teacher educators, describes how to target desired learning outcomes in terms of inputs, constraints, options and costs in a variety of approaches to implementing SFAA. The fourth part of Phase II is a series of Blueprints which recommend changes that need to be made in order for the curriculum and teaching reforms of Project 2061 to take hold and survive in the school setting. These Blueprints include topics such as Teacher Education, Assessment, Materials and Technology, Curriculum Connections, School Organization, Parents and Community, Higher Education, Business and Industry, Educational Research, Equity, Educational Policy, and Finance. Other aspects of the project are funded by others. ***
