Donald L. Birdd DUE 9551402 SUNY Research Foundation FY1995 $ 26,534 Albany, NY 122010009 ILI - Instrumentation Project: Interdisciplinary Title: Improvement of a Science Teaching Center for Pre-Service Teachers Science instruction at the secondary level must change if we expect to improve the level of science literacy in the U.S. Many students now age 13 will be the consumers of science-based technological advancements in the year 2061 and beyond! Furthermore, a science teacher who graduates in 1995 may not retire until the year 2030. With this in mind, it is essential that pre-service teachers learn to use the most current classroom technology. This project is the upgrading of the Science Teaching Center (STC). The courses which use this laboratory emphasize hands-on activities in a laboratory of 15 computers and other demonstration equipment. Faculty work with pre-service science education majors to better prepare them for entry into the modern science classroom. Three courses (SED 307, SED 308, and seminars for SED 408) are targeted in this proposal. Each of four activity centers in the STC are being furnished with two networked computers. Five computers are being placed in the student work area, and two computers are being placed in the curriculum library. Data collected by the pre-service students is stored and displayed on the networked computers. These data are the basis for increasing the students' understanding of science concepts and how to teach these concepts to students in grades 7-12. The STC is also being furnished with computer accessories (i.e., transparency adaptor, MacHandwriter pen input pad, color scanner, color printer, and nView LCD projector), commonly found in secondary schools. Project evalu ation includes usage of the facility, student surveys of student perception of the impact on their learning and preparation for teaching, and follow-ups of the students in their field and teaching experiences. The outcome of this project will be disseminated through presentations at professional meetings and in educational journals.

Donald L. Birdd DUE 9551402纽约州立大学研究基金会1995财年$ 26,534奥尔巴尼，NY 122010009 ILI -仪器仪表项目：跨学科标题：如果我们希望提高美国的科学素养水平，那么中学阶段的科学教学就必须改变。2061年及以后，许多现在13岁的学生将成为以科学为基础的技术进步的消费者！此外，1995年毕业的科学教师可能要到2030年才能退休。考虑到这一点，职前教师必须学会使用最新的课堂技术。本项目是科学教学中心（STC）的升级改造。使用该实验室的课程强调在有15台计算机和其他演示设备的实验室中进行动手活动。教师与职前科学教育专业的学生合作，为他们进入现代科学课堂做更好的准备。三门课程（SED 307， SED 308和SED 408的研讨会）是该提案的目标。STC的四个活动中心每个都配备了两台联网的计算机。五台电脑被放置在学生工作区，两台电脑被放置在课程图书馆。职前学生收集的数据被存储并显示在联网的计算机上。这些数据是增加学生对科学概念的理解以及如何向7-12年级的学生教授这些概念的基础。STC还配备了中学常见的电脑配件（即透明适配器、MacHandwriter笔输入板、彩色扫描仪、彩色打印机和nView LCD投影仪）。项目评估包括设施的使用情况，学生对学生对他们的学习和教学准备的影响的看法的调查，以及学生在他们的领域和教学经验的跟进。这个项目的成果将通过在专业会议和教育期刊上的演讲来传播。
