9450702 Fine A master plan will be developed for making sweeping changes in what we teach in chemistry and how we teach it, in light of revolutionary ways for improved learning that will be widely available before the end of this decade. At the heart of the systemic changes proposed is a broadening of the curriculum across traditional academic and professional boundaries to better reflect the needs of a productive lifetime in society for students of different backgrounds, abilities and interests. At the same time, by conceiving a new curriculum plan from the top down, it will be possible to produce one that is inclusive, not exclusive, allowing those who complete the major to share ideas and develop points of view and attitudes that have a common origin with those students who drop away earlier into alternate careers. For those who do drop away, the curriculum plan provides a realistic sense of what is exciting and important in chemistry and how it fits into their lives. Proposed curriculum changes depend on delivery systems that take advantage of the technological transformation that is presently altering learning through electronic communication and visualization of information. This planning proposal will have a significant impact in bringing about change in the entire chemistry curriculum at Columbia and it will be transferable to chemistry departments in other institutions. Other institutions working on this project are IIT, MIT, Stevens Institute, Northwestern, Wisconsin, North Carolina.

小行星9450702 将制定一个总体规划，根据本十年结束前将广泛使用的改进学习的革命性方法，对我们在化学方面的教学内容和教学方式进行彻底改变。 的核心 建议的系统性改革是扩大课程范围，跨越传统的学术和专业界限，以更好地反映不同背景、能力和兴趣的学生在社会上有所作为的需要。 与此同时，通过自上而下地构思新的课程计划，将有可能产生一个包容性的，而不是排他性的，让那些谁完成了主要的分享思想和发展的观点和态度，有一个共同的起源与那些学生谁放弃了更早的替代职业。 对于那些辍学的人来说，课程计划提供了一个现实的感觉，什么是化学中令人兴奋和重要的，以及它如何融入他们的生活。 拟议的课程改革取决于利用技术变革的交付系统，技术变革目前正在通过电子通信和信息可视化改变学习。 这一规划建议将对哥伦比亚的整个化学课程产生重大影响，并将转移到其他机构的化学系。 其他从事这一项目的机构有IIT、麻省理工学院、史蒂文斯研究所、西北大学、威斯康星州、北卡罗来纳州。
