Computer-Aided Instruction Facilities for Science and Technology in Society

9452362 Waechter-Brulla一门新的跨学科课程，名为“科学与技术与社会”，整合了所有科学学科的主题。在讲座中，我们研究了基本的科学概念和过程，技术进步及其对社会的影响。在讨论中，我们展示了如何通过直接参与来收集、吸收和理解信息。学生将使用计算机进行数据分析和演示；额外的计算机辅助教学材料将用于讨论和讲座。这门课程将是所有本科生的必修课程，从1994年秋季开始，每学期将招收800至1000名学生。本科职前科学教师将担任课程助理，并在讨论部分与教师一起出席。这些本科生助教也将协助学生完成互动媒体作业。该课程将通过其独特的跨学科性质和对某些教学元素的利用：学生直接参与，计算机辅助教学，基于计算机的数据分析，多媒体增强的讲座交付，成为威斯康星大学白水分校和其他综合性大学的典范。

9452362 Waechter-Brulla A new interdisciplinary course entitled "Science and Technology in Society" integrates topics from all scientific disciplines. In the lecture, we examine basic science concepts and processes, technological advances and their impact on society. In the discussion, we demonstrate how information is collected, assimilated and understood via direct participation. Students will use computers for data analysis and presentation; additional computer-aided instructional materials will be used in both discussion and lecture. This course will be required of all undergraduate students, and it will enroll 800 to 1000 students per semester beginning in fall 1994. Undergraduate pre-service science teachers will serve as course assistants and be present with the faculty during the discussion sections. These undergraduate assistants will also be available to assist the students with interactive media homework assignments. The course will serve as a model for the UW-Whitewater campus and other comprehensive universities through its unique interdisciplinary nature and its exploitation of certain pedagogical elements: direct student involvement, computer-aided instruction, computer-based data analysis, multimedia enhanced lecture delivery.
