Dougald G. Scott DUE 9551905 Cabrillo College FY1995 $ 43,283 Aptos, CA 950033119 ILI - Instrumentation Project: Life Sciences Title: Human Physiology Laboratory improved through cooperative learning Declining resources, outdated equipment, and under prepared students are problems facing many institutions across the country, including Cabrillo College. These problems have contributed to students in Human Physiology laboratories becoming observers, rather than active participants in laboratory experiments. The goal of this project is to provide more investigative and cooperative learning experiences for students by: 1) restructuring the curriculum to foster inquiry and teamwork; and 2) equipping them with computer controlled data acquisition technology. Students are learning science and critical thinking by actively participating in hands-on laboratory exercises, working in small groups to gather data, using computers to analyze the data, and discussing and presenting their findings. Computer workstations with accompanying data acquisition hardware and software, and a computer network are being employed to accomplish these goals. In restructuring the curriculum to include the new equipment, care is being taken to design a user-friendly environment that encourages teamwork and active learning, especially for under prepared students lacking a technological background. A thorough critique of this project and the results of its evaluation will be presented and published nationally.

Dougald G. Scott DUE 9551905 卡布里洛学院 FY1995 $ 43,283 Aptos, CA 950033119 ILI - 仪器项目：生命科学 标题：通过合作学习改进人类生理学实验室 资源减少、设备过时和学生准备不足是包括卡布里洛学院在内的全国许多机构面临的问题。 这些问题导致人类生理学实验室的学生成为观察者，而不是实验室实验的积极参与者。 该项目的目标是通过以下方式为学生提供更多的研究性和合作性学习体验：1）重组课程以促进探究和团队合作； 2）为其配备计算机控制的数据采集技术。 学生通过积极参与实验室实践练习、小组收集数据、使用计算机分析数据以及讨论和展示他们的发现来学习科学和批判性思维。 带有数据采集硬件和软件的计算机工作站以及计算机网络正在被用来实现这些目标。 在调整课程以纳入新设备时，我们注重设计一个用户友好的环境，鼓励团队合作和主动学习，特别是对于缺乏技术背景、准备不足的学生。 对该项目的彻底批评及其评估结果将在全国范围内提出和出版。
