9455826 Amend This grant supports preparation of a proposal for a major systemic curriculum project that will place students at the center of their learning experience, and will encourage both faculty and students to (1) discuss and understand the importance of applied chemistry in our society; (2) participate in activities that encourage exploration and cooperative learning; (3) engage in a greater diversity of instructional strategies; and (4) exploit the role of new technologies as a means of implementing these approaches to learning. The curricular materials to be developed will be based on a three-part balance between (1) the factual aspects of chemistry (content), (2) the role of chemistry in our daily lives, and (3) the process by which information is located and discovered, and by which problems are solved. It is the intent of this project to develop a wide variety of resources which will draw students into all three of the above aspects of chemistry, and from which faculty may select material that best serves their own students and their interests and talents. Proposal development will focus on (a) content and concept sequencing, (b) appropriate use of technology, (c) educational strategies, and (d) a structure for dissemination, faculty workshops, presentations and publications.

9455826修订本基金支持为一个主要的系统课程项目准备提案，该项目将把学生置于他们学习经验的中心，并将鼓励教师和学生(1)讨论和理解应用化学在我们社会中的重要性；(2)参与鼓励探索和合作学习的活动；(3)采用更多样化的教学策略；(4)利用新技术作为实施这些学习方法的手段。开发的课程材料将基于以下三部分的平衡：(1)化学的事实方面（内容），(2)化学在我们日常生活中的作用，以及(3)找到和发现信息以及解决问题的过程。这个项目的目的是开发各种各样的资源，这些资源将吸引学生进入化学的上述三个方面，教师可以从中选择最适合他们自己的学生和他们的兴趣和才能的材料。提案的制定将侧重于(a)内容和概念顺序，(b)技术的适当使用，(c)教育战略，以及(d)传播结构、教员讲习班、演讲和出版物。
