The BioQUEST Curriculum and Learning Tools Development Project

小行星9354813 该项目将使中学后生物教师检查，批评，并通过提供这样一个过程中必不可少的哲学，工具，资源，支持和共享网络来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。 这本书将是一个多作者，BioQUEST 3P的哲学与材料在BioQUEST图书馆使用的具体例子，在湿实验室和实地工作中使用3P的情况下，计算机是不必要的合作工作，并讨论有关的发展和实施的开放式，研究和研究类经验的学生的具体问题。 该项目还将通过另外三个生物学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采用多种方法，包括图书、BioQUEST笔记、BioQUEST图书馆、会议上的演示和研讨会、介绍BioQUEST Hypercard堆栈、作为BioQUEST图书馆出版物三阶段审查过程的一部分的材料现场测试，通过其他出版物，如期刊文章和实验室书籍中的实验室、电子网络、每月的联合体状况报告，以及通过电话、电子邮件和美国邮件对一般询问的回复。

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.
