9554198 Garik The Project on Quantum Science Across Disciplines proposes to design and implement an introduction to quantum science for high school students and undergraduates in biology, chemistry, and physics through activities integrating computer modeling tools, a data resource base, and hands-on experiments; do research on student response to materials intended to introduce quantum science at a level appropriate for interdisciplinary inquiry with hooks paths between biology, chemistry, and physics; and, investigate the extent to which a technologically rich approach to teaching interdisciplinary science can fundamentally change high school and college instructional practices. The target audiences are the high school students and undergraduates for whom it is important to develop scientific literacy as defined by the AAAS 2061 Project and the Draft National Science Education Standards (NSES) prepared by the National Research Council. An understanding of the methods and results of scientific research and the tools of technology are important for the broad spectrum of students studying science, whether for satisfaction of diploma requirements, technical professional training, or preparation for advanced study. The new materials will be aimed at high school classes, undergraduates, and adult education courses with the potential for science teacher in-service training. The goal is to provide students with the tools to navigate between the representations for quantum science adopted by each of the sciences. As the theory for the microscopic processes which affect all the sciences, quantum science can be a means for providing an integrated approach to science education. The examples of quantum science will be drawn from biology, chemistry, and physics, will reflect research scientists' mental models for the process in question, and will be coupled to laboratory experiments. Each of the subject modules will be independently usable in an introductory courses; however, their linkage will encourage interdisciplinary instruction. Earlier projects have demonstrated the change in classroom structure, communication, and the role of the teacher that results from the combination of inquiry oriented projects and rich technology. Students have the technological tools to pursue their own independent projects, while the teacher takes on the role of mentor and advisor. Electronic journals provide new opportunities for student-student and teacher-student dislodges, combining the best features of journal writing and portfolio assessment. ***

小行星9554198 跨学科量子科学项目建议通过整合计算机建模工具、数据资源库和动手实验的活动，为高中生和生物、化学和物理本科生设计和实施量子科学入门;研究学生对旨在介绍量子科学的材料的反应，这些材料的水平适合于跨学科的调查生物学，化学和物理学之间的路径;并调查在何种程度上技术丰富的跨学科科学教学方法可以从根本上改变高中和大学的教学实践。 目标受众是高中生和大学生，对他们来说，重要的是培养科学素养，如AAAS 2061项目和国家研究理事会编写的国家科学教育标准草案所定义的。了解科学研究的方法和结果以及技术工具对于学习科学的广泛学生来说非常重要，无论是为了满足文凭要求，技术专业培训还是为高级学习做准备。新教材将针对高中班、本科生和成人教育课程，并有可能用于科学教师在职培训。 我们的目标是为学生提供工具，在每门科学所采用的量子科学表示之间导航。作为影响所有科学的微观过程的理论，量子科学可以成为提供科学教育综合方法的一种手段。量子科学的例子将来自生物学、化学和物理学，将反映研究科学家对所讨论过程的心理模型，并将与实验室实验相结合。每个主题模块将在入门课程中独立使用;然而，它们的联系将鼓励跨学科教学。 早期的项目已经展示了课堂结构，交流和教师角色的变化，这些变化来自于以探究为导向的项目和丰富的技术的结合。学生有技术工具来追求自己的独立项目，而老师则扮演导师和顾问的角色。电子期刊结合了期刊写作和档案袋评价的最佳特点，为师生互动提供了新的机会。 ***
