Engineering Concepts For The High School Classroom Replication Project: Partners For Engineering Problem Solving

9555753穆勒该提案寻求在其他6-8所工程学校实施达特茅斯学院塞耶工程学院开发的非常成功的解决问题教学培训模式。我们建议在1997年夏天设立一个学院，向工程学教师和其他人介绍工程问题解决的概念及其在高中教学中的应用。每个团队将包括1-2名工程教员、1-2名参加过过去研讨会的高中教师；其他团队成员可能包括在行业工作的工程师和/或工程学校的管理人员，他们将参与复制计划的设计和/或操作。每个团队的所有TEA成员将来自相同的地理区域，他们将被招募为团队，明确了解他们对研究所感兴趣并致力于复制研究所(并根据个别地点的位置和考虑进行适当的调整)。该研究所不仅将提供方法的经验学习，而且将集中精力制定复制计划，以便参与者离开时将概述对整个团队的期望、对个别团队成员的期望，以及他们在着手开发复制时希望从塞耶学校获得的技术援助的具体说明。在研究所之后，将向进行复制的人提供技术援助，并将跟踪其进展情况，并视需要采取干预措施，以协助开展复制。我们将建立电子通信(列表服务器、网页)，让与会者随时分享他们的进展、请求信息、提出问题等。*

9555753 Muller The proposal seeks to implement, at 6-8 other engineering schools, the highly successful problem-solving teaches training model developed at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College. We propose an institute for the summer of 1997 to introduce engineering faculty and others to the Engineering Problem-Solving concepts and their applications to high school instruction. Each team will include 1-2 engineering faculty members, 1-2 high school teachers who have participated in past workshops; other team members might include engineers working in industry and/or administrators from the engineering school who would be involved in designing and/or operations of the replication programs. All tea members of each team will come from the same geographic area, and they will be recruited as team, with the explicit understanding that they are interested in and committed to replicating the institute (with appropriate adaptations for individual site locations and considerations). The institute will not only offer experiential learning of the methods, but will provide an intensive focus on developing plans for replication, so that participants will leave with an outline of expectations for the team as a whole, for individual team members, and specifications for the technical assistance they would like from Thayer School as they proceed to develop their replications. Following the institute technical assistance will be available to those undertaking the replications, and their progress will be tracked, with interventions as needed to assist the development of the replications. We will establish electronic communications (listservs, web pages) to allow participants readily to share their progress, request information, ask questions, etc. ***
