9454341 Goldberg This five year national project will promote a deeper understanding of physical science among elementary school teachers and enhance the pedagogical and computer technology skills of secondary school physics and physical science teachers. This will be accomplished through a set of constructivist-oriented workshops that feature specially designed computer programs. In Phase I, year-one, computer programs for four physics topics (SERIES I): Light, Electric Circuits, Static Electricity and Magnetism will be refined. Five additional topics: Small Particle Model of Matter, Color and Vision, Heat and Temperature, Force and Particle Motion and Wave Motion (SERIES II) will be developed. These all focus on the development of "powerful ideas"; a set of which form a conceptual framework. In Phase II, Year-2, elementary school teacher workshops with SERIES I & II materials will be held. Each workshop with 5-days of intensive instruction for one topic will be grouped with others to provide a minimum of 15-days plus one day of follow-up. Concurrently, but separate from the elementary school teachers, secondary school science teachers will attend a single workshop of 12-days plus a two 2-day follow-up session. These secondary school teacher workshops will help teachers develop a set of learning strategies using the computer materials and low-tech materials to create a constructivist-oriented classroom . A total of 72-teachers will participate in these training programs. In Phase III the training of the elementary and secondary school teachers in the use of these materials will continue both at the San Diego site and sites across the nation. For the latter, 24 geographically distributed leadership teams: a university faculty member, a high school physics or physical science teacher and an elementary teacher, will participate in a six-week training program at SDSU during each of two summers. Two sessions will be held each summer, each accommodating 12-teams. After the first summer of training each leadership team will be fully supported, with monies and senior personnel guidance, to deliver their first second tier workshop of 1-week duration. During Phase IV each leadership team will provide second tier workshops which have a minimum of 3-weeks enhancement for a teacher. A minimum of 1-workshop for each of three years is required. Partial support for these is provided on a reimbursement basis. These second tier participants may earn graduate credit for these workshops.

小行星9454341 这个为期五年的国家项目将促进小学教师对物理科学的更深入理解，并提高中学物理和物理科学教师的教学和计算机技术技能。这将通过一系列以建构主义为导向的研讨会来实现，这些研讨会的特点是专门设计的计算机程序。在第一阶段，第一年，四个物理主题（系列I）的计算机程序：光，电路，静电和磁将被完善。五个附加主题：小粒子模型的物质，颜色和视觉，热量和温度，力和粒子运动和波动（系列II）将开发。这些都集中在"强大的想法"的发展;一套形成一个概念框架。在第二阶段，第二年，小学教师讲习班与系列I和II材料将举行。&每个研讨会有一个主题的5天强化教学，将与其他研讨会分组，以提供至少15天加一天的后续活动。同时，但与小学教师分开，中学科学教师将参加一个为期12天的讲习班，外加两个为期2天的后续会议。这些教师工作坊将协助教师发展一套学习策略，利用电脑教材和低科技教材，建立一个以建构主义为主导的教室。共有72名教师将参加这些培训方案。 在第三阶段，将继续在圣地亚哥和全国各地对中小学教师进行使用这些材料的培训。对于后者，24个地理分布的领导团队：一名大学教师，一名高中物理或物理科学教师和一名小学教师，将在两个夏天的每一个夏天参加SDSU为期六周的培训计划。每年夏天将举行两次会议，每次容纳12支球队。 在第一个夏季培训之后，每个领导团队将得到资金和高级人员指导的全力支持，以提供为期一周的第一个二级研讨会。 在第四阶段，每个领导团队将提供第二层研讨会，其中至少有3周的教师增强。三年中每年至少需要一次研讨会。对这些活动的部分支助是在偿还费用的基础上提供的。这些第二层的参与者可以获得这些研讨会的研究生学分。
