9450514西尔维亚·威尔参加第13届国际化学教育会议该项目支持50名化学教育工作者参加将于1994年8月8日至12日在波多黎各圣胡安举行的第13届IUPAC国际化学教育会议。一半的教育工作者是小学、中学和中学的科学教师，一半是大学教师。该项目的目的有三个方面：i)利用国际经验加强教师在自己的地方、地区和国家网络中的领导作用；ii)向教师介绍其他国家的化学和科学教育问题，扩大他们的知识和课堂实施选择；iii)提高教师对不同文化群体，特别是西班牙裔和非洲裔群体教授化学的方法的认识。与会者参加了两次迎新研讨会，一次是在会议之前，一次是在会议期间，以加强他们对正式计划的参与，并计划他们返回美国后的网络活动。教师们还访问波多黎各的学校。联网活动包括在1995年圣胡安会议上参加由美国人协会支持的关于圣胡安会议的专题讨论会；区域讲习班和讲座；以及在期刊、时事通讯和教师杂志上发表文章。

9450514 Sylvia Ware Travel to the 13th International Conference on Chemical Education This project supports the participation of fifty chemical educators at the 13th IUPAC International Conference on Chemical Education to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, August 8-12, 1994. Half of the educators are elementary, middle school and secondary school science teachers and half are college faculty. The purposes of the project are three-fold: i) to use the international experience to enhance the leadership of the teachers within their own local, regional and national networks; ii) to introduce teachers to issues of chemistry and science education in other countries expanding their knowledge and classroom implementation options; and, iii) to sensitize teachers to ways of teaching chemistry to different cultural groups, especially those of Hispanic and African ancestry. Participants attend two orientation workshops, one prior to and one during the conference, to enhance their participation in the formal program and to plan networking activities upon their return to the United States. Teachers also visit schools in Puerto Rico. Networking activities include participation in an ACS-supported symposium on the San Juan Conference at the 1995 ChemED Conference; regional workshops and lectures; and articles in journals, newsletters, and teacher magazines.
