9450676 Chapman Economic change and new technology are driving educational reform. The transition from the Industrial Age to the Information Age is causing great change in the institutions of our society, and the universities and colleges are not exempt. New technology--powerful computers, sophisticated client-server systems, high-resolution graphics for visualization, multi-media, virtual reality, and broad-band fiber-optic cable are transforming our economy and our society; they will alter forever what we mean by "education." An Alliance of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), and twenty-four community colleges in the greater Los Angeles area has worked together for many years in improving chemistry instruction. The Alliance now requests funds to plan a proposal that will reorganize content into a new molecular science curriculum and make maximum use of new educational technology. In preparing this proposal our attention is focused on informing our faculties, gaining broad faculty support, and achieving consensus for action. To achieve these goals, we propose four planning grant activities. First, we will host a seminar that features distinguished speakers in economics, technology, curriculum reform, science philosophy, science education, cognitive science, and educational innovation. Second, Professor Orville Chapman of UCLA will present a one-quarter seminar course that defines the issues, presents the proposal, and facilitates debate and discussion. Third, members of the planning group will travel to sites of technological innovation. Finally, we will have a two-day faculty retreat at Lake Arrowhead to fine tune the new curriculum and plan for action. ***y

9450676查普曼经济变化和新技术正在推动教育改革。 从工业时代到信息时代的过渡正在引起我们社会制度的巨大变化，大学和学院也不能幸免。 新技术--功能强大的计算机、复杂的客户机-服务器系统、高分辨率的可视化图形、多媒体、虚拟现实和宽带光纤电缆正在改变我们的经济和社会;它们将永远改变我们所说的“教育”。“加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）、加州州立大学富勒顿分校（CSUF）和大洛杉矶地区的24所社区学院组成的联盟多年来一直在共同努力改善化学教学。 该联盟现在要求提供资金，以规划一项提案，该提案将把内容重新组织成一个新的分子科学课程，并最大限度地利用新的教育技术。 在准备这份提案时，我们的注意力集中在通知我们的教师，获得广泛的教师支持，并达成行动共识。 为了实现这些目标，我们提出了四个规划补助金活动。 首先，我们将举办一个研讨会，邀请经济学、技术、课程改革、科学哲学、科学教育、认知科学和教育创新方面的杰出演讲者。 其次，加州大学洛杉矶分校的奥维尔·查普曼教授将提出一个四分之一的研讨会课程，定义的问题，提出建议，并促进辩论和讨论。 第三，规划小组成员将前往技术创新的地点。 最后，我们将在箭头湖举行为期两天的教师务虚会，以微调新课程和行动计划。 ***y
