Quantum Science Across Disciplines

9554198 Garik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，为生物、化学和物理专业的高中生和本科生设计和实施量子科学概论；研究学生对旨在通过生物学、化学和物理之间的联系进行跨学科探索的材料的反应；以及调查技术丰富的跨学科科学教学方法可以在多大程度上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本科生，对他们来说，培养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(NSE)所界定的科学素养是很重要的。对于学习科学的广大学生来说，理解科学研究的方法和结果以及技术工具是很重要的，无论是为了满足文凭要求、技术专业培训，还是为深造做准备。新教材将针对高中班级、本科生和成人教育课程，有可能对科学教师进行在职培训。目标是为学生提供在每一门科学所采用的量子科学表示法之间导航的工具。作为影响所有科学的微观过程的理论，量子科学可以成为一种为科学教育提供综合方法的手段。量子科学的例子将来自生物、化学和物理，将反映研究科学家对所述过程的心理模型，并将与实验室实验相结合。每个科目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，这是以探究为导向的项目和丰富技术相结合的结果。学生拥有追求自己独立项目的技术工具，而教师则扮演着导师和顾问的角色。电子期刊结合了期刊写作和档案袋评价的最佳特点，为学生与学生和教师与学生之间的错位提供了新的机会。***

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. ***
