9354547 LaRose The purpose of this proposal is to further develop the TEME (Totally Enclosed Modular Environments) model as the experiential laboratory of the Human Ecology curriculum. Expanding the TEME model to include an oceanographic research simulation will enable Greenfield Community College to provide both college and middle school students with an opportunity to participate in an exciting hands-on science education program that integrates broad scientific content and effective group skills, providing a practical framework for understanding ecological and social problems. The original TEME curriculum model features a simulated shuttle orbiter experience as a metaphor for "Spaceship Earth." The TEME model will be adapted to the study of the oceans, using a deep sea submersible simulation as a vehicle for exploring this vast and still mysterious environment. We will add new content to the module program and upgrade the technology to run the simulation. In addition to Greenfield Community College faculty, curriculum specialists, and middle school teachers are involved in the curriculum development. We will develop written curricular materials for middle schools as well as software that can be used on ordinary PCs in the schools. The impact on students will include greater motivation, improved math/science skills development, greater clarity of career goals, and a broader ecological awareness. ***

9354547 LaRose这项建议的目的是进一步发展TEME(完全封闭的模块化环境)模式，作为人类生态学课程的体验实验室。将TEME模型扩展到包括海洋研究模拟，将使格林菲尔德社区学院能够为大学生和中学生提供参与一个令人兴奋的动手科学教育项目的机会，该项目融合了广泛的科学内容和有效的群体技能，为理解生态和社会问题提供了一个实用的框架。最初的TEME课程模型以模拟航天飞机轨道体验为特色，将其比喻为“宇宙飞船地球”。Teme模型将用于海洋研究，使用深海潜水器模拟作为探索这一广阔而仍然神秘的环境的工具。我们将在模块程序中添加新的内容，并升级技术以运行模拟。除了格林菲尔德社区学院的教职员工，课程专家和中学教师也参与了课程的开发。我们将开发中学书面课程材料以及可以在学校普通电脑上使用的软件。对学生的影响将包括更大的动力，更好的数学/科学技能发展，更清晰的职业目标，以及更广泛的生态意识。***
