A Real World Model for Introductory Chemistry Laboratory Curricula

9353996拜耳该项目为四个讲习班提供资金，向参加者介绍在实验室课程中使用“真实的世界化学”。 现有的一套实验-熟悉和个人教师的首选-被放置到一个适合当地社区的现实世界的背景下。学生成为当地组织或行业实验室的“化学家雇员”，并将这些实验重新制定为该组织实验室的当前项目。 “转化过程”描述了没有实际经验的科学教师如何在当地寻找化学家，并提取有用的场景，可以添加到现有的介绍性实验中。 这一过程提供了学生的热情响应和进一步考虑科学生涯的动机。 ***

9353996 Bayer The project provides funds for four workshop sessions to introduce participants to the use of "real world chemistry" in their laboratory courses. An existing set of experiments - familiar to and preferred by individual instructors - are placed into a real-world context appropriate for the local community. Students become "chemist employees" in the laboratory of a local organization or industry and work on these experiments reformulated as current projects of that organization's laboratory. The "transformation process" describes how science teachers without real-world experience can search out chemists in their local area and extract useful scenarios that can be added to existing introductory experiments. The process has provided an enthusiastic response from students and motivation for further consideration of a science career. ***
