SSC: "Science Horizons: The Bentley College Science-Math Summer Camp"

SSC-9450484宾利学院沃尔瑟姆，马萨诸塞州华莱士，罗伯特和理查德·弗雷斯“科学地平线：本特利学院科学-数学夏令营”宾利提出了一个为期四周的周一至周五的住宿暑期计划和学年跟踪，为来自代表不足的少数群体的女孩，进入7，8和9年级。这项计划将于1994年7月5日至29日开始，为期3年。将从每一所优秀学校中选出大约10所(波士顿3所，剑桥2所)。学校的选择将使这50名女孩代表一些少数群体(将是非洲裔美国人、拉丁裔、海地人和东南亚人)和各种能力(将参加非磁力学校和磁力学校等)。选择的主要标准将是对科学/数学的动机和兴趣，以及对该项目性质的清楚理解。在整个方案中，重点将放在影响学生对科学/数学的兴趣和成功的因素上，不仅是作为代表不足的少数群体，而且作为女性。课程的一个核心部分将以1993年夏天在本特利为15名主要是少数族裔的女孩提供的为期三周的试行为基础。这项计划采用了一种课程，将适合年龄的数学与化学实验室实验结合起来，利用(1)小组合作和合作学习的方式，(2)特别是女孩熟悉的材料和问题。

SSC-9450484 Bentley College Waltham, MA Wallace, Robert and Richard Frese "Science Horizons: The Bentley College Science-Math Summer Camp" Bentley proposes a four-week Monday-Friday residential summer program with academic year follow-up, for girls from under- represented minority groups, entering the 7th, 8th and 9th grades. The program will run for three years beginning July 5-29, 1994. Approximately 10 will be selected from each of fine schools (3 in Boston, 2 in Cambridge). Schools will be selected such that the 50 girls will represent a number minority groups (will be African- American, Latina, Haitian, and Southeast-Asian in origin) and a variety of abilities (will attend non-magnet and magnet schools, etc.) The major criterion for selection will be on motivation and interest in science/math and a clear understanding of the nature of the program. Emphasis will be placed throughout the program on factors affecting interest and success in science/math of the students not only as under represented minorities, but also as females. A core component of the curriculum will be based upon a three-week pilot offered at Bentley in the summer of 1993 for 15 predominantly minority girls. This program utilized a curriculum, in which age-appropriate mathematics were integrated with chemistry laboratory experiments utilizing (1) team work and cooperative learning styles and (2) material and problems familiar to girls in particular.
