A Workshop Chemistry Curriculum

9450627戈瑟城市学院要求对城市学院和合作社区学院本科化学课程进行重新设计和现代化的规划过程提供支持。该计划将重点推广一种新的教学模式——车间化学，该模式在美国国家科学基金会的支持下在学院进行试点。这种模式强调协作学习，让学生在教学和学习过程中发挥更积极的作用，摆脱了讲课模式的被动学习。课程模块的初步设计将构成工作坊化学课程的基础，这是规划过程的一个关键方面。这些模块可以包括实验室、计算机和问题解决工作的任何组合。项目主管将与来自高年级和社区学院的教员合作，将他们的想法转化为模块大纲。规划阶段的结果将是一个详细的计划，说明课程模块的规格以及如何将它们整合到课程中。规划过程以及最终项目将涉及其他科学学科，工程，健康科学，建筑和教育的教师以及来自工业界的个人作为合作伙伴；这将有助于课程的设计，从而提高学生将化学概念应用于其他领域的能力。

9450627 Gosser City College requests support for a planning process leading to the redesign and modernization of the undergraduate chemistry curriculum at City College and partner community colleges. The planning will focus on extension of a new teaching model, Workshop Chemistry, piloted at the College with NSF support. The model emphasizes collaborative learning and creates more active roles for students in the teaching and learning processes, moving away from the passive learning of the lecture mode. The preliminary design of course modules that will form the basis of the Workshop Chemistry curriculum is a key aspect of the planning process. The modules can include any combination of laboratory, computer and problem solving work. The project directors will work with faculty collaborators from the senior and community college levels to translate their ideas into module outlines. The outcome of the planning phase will be a detailed plan for specification of the course modules and how they will be integrated into the curriculum. The planning process as well as the final project will involve as partners faculty in other science disciplines, engineering, health sciences, architecture and education, as well as individuals from industry; this will facilitate the design of a curriculum which promotes students' ability to apply chemistry concepts to other fields.
