9355749 McHone The teaching of science requires experiences that many teachers have not obtained from their undergraduate and continuing education's. One of the most effective methods centers on outdoor field activities, both local and off-school, in which students learn science as observation and interpretation rather than as a collection of facts. We propose a Field Science Institute for Teachers, in which K-12 teachers increase their basic knowledge and appreciation of science topics that are appropriate for field study, using classroom work and field work at suitable localities. The grant allows 40 teachers to participate in the Field Science Institute during each of the 1994 and 1995 summer semesters at Wesleyan University, within the Graduate Liberal Studies Program. The Institute will be conducted as four concurrent academic courses and seminars during four-week sessions in July of 1994 and July of 1995. Courses will be in subject areas of Field Botany, Field Geology, Field Zoology (Ecology), and Field Archaeology, plus a seminar in curriculum design for all participants. Graduate credits can be applied toward a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies or a Certificate of Advanced Study, and school districts may also award CEU's.

9355749 McHone 科学教学需要许多教师从本科和继续教育中没有获得的经验。 最有效的方法之一是开展本地和校外的户外实地活动，学生在其中以观察和解释的方式学习科学，而不是作为事实的集合。 我们提议设立一个教师实地科学研究所，让 K-12 教师通过在适当地点开展课堂工作和实地工作，提高适合实地研究的科学主题的基础知识和欣赏能力。 这笔赠款允许 40 名教师在 1994 年和 1995 年夏季学期在卫斯理大学的研究生自由研究项目中参加实地科学研究所。 该研究所将在 1994 年 7 月和 1995 年 7 月为期四个星期的会议期间同时举办四门学术课程和研讨会。课程将涉及野外植物学、野外地质学、野外动物学（生态学）和野外考古学等学科领域，并为所有参与者举办课程设计研讨会。 研究生学分可用于获得通识教育文学硕士学位或高级学习证书，学区也可以授予 CEU。
