The BioQUEST Curriculum and Learning Tools Development Project

9354813这个项目将通过提供哲学、工具、资源、支持和共享网络，使中学后生物学教师能够审查、批评和改变他们的生物课程。这是通过各种机制实现的，包括出版一本书和主办三个学习工具开发讲习班。这本书将是一本关于BioQUEST 3P理念的多作者合作著作，其中包括BioQUEST图书馆材料的使用实例，3P在湿实验室和野外工作中的使用以及在不需要计算机的情况下的使用，以及与为学生开发和实施开放式研究和类似研究的体验相关的具体问题的讨论。该项目还将通过生物学另外三个主要领域的三个暑期讲习班，支持课程改革和学习工具的开发。材料和信息的传播将使用各种方法，包括图书、BioQUEST笔记、BioQUEST图书馆、在会议上的演示和研讨会、介绍BioQUEST HyperCard堆栈、作为在BioQUEST图书馆出版的三阶段审查过程的一部分的材料的现场测试、通过其他出版物，如期刊文章和实验室、电子网络、每月联盟状态报告，以及通过电话、电子邮件和美国邮件答复一般询问。

9354813 Jungck This project will enable post-secondary biology faculty to examine, critique, and change their biology curricula by providing the philosophy, tools, resources, support, and sharing network essential to such a process. This is being accomplished through a variety of mechanisms including the publication of a book and the hosting of three learning tools development workshops. The book will be a multi-authored, collaborative work on the BioQUEST 3P's philosophy with specific examples of use of materials in the BioQUEST Library, use of the 3P's in wet labs and field work and in situations where computers are not necessary, and discussions of the specific issues related to the development and implementation of open-ended, research and research-like experiences for students. The project will also support curricular reform and learning tools development through three summer workshops in three additional major areas of biology. Materials and information dissemination will occur using a variety of methods including the book, BioQUEST Notes, the BioQUESTLibrary, presentations and workshops at conferences, the Introducing BioQUEST Hypercard stacks, field testing of materials as part of the three-stage review process for publication in the BioQUESTLibrary, through other publications such as journal articles and labs in labbooks, electronic networks, the monthly consortium status reports, and responses to general inquiries via phone, e-mail, and U.S. mail.
