Tours Through Time -- Accessing Science through Technology: A K-12 Project

提案：ESI IMD-97-29949 投稿单位：加州大学 主要研究者：大卫林德伯格 提案标题：图尔斯穿越时间之旅--科技之旅：一个K-12项目 这个项目开发了模拟一系列参观或图尔斯参观古生物博物馆的模块。 在模块中，每个基本的游览，包括叙事和图像，强调理解“一个大的想法”所需的主要科学概念。“图尔斯旅游分为三个级别：K-4，5-8，9-12，每个级别都有英语和西班牙语。 在任何给定的教室内，学生的水平各不相同，因此教师可以将学生分配到适当水平的参观。 包括嵌入式活动，更深入的侧面旅行，以及参观研究实验室，学生在那里学习第一手的科学过程和发展研究技能。 每个模块包括一个在线教师指南，其中包含：教学策略，教学活动，连接到标准，评估和资源，以进一步教师的理解。 所有材料都可以通过网络访问或CD-ROM获得。该项目模拟了最新的研究和技术，并采用了K-12教室鼓励的教学策略，在K-12教室中，科学是以一种相互联系的、概念性的和建设性的方式教授的。 开放式探究允许学生积极参与自己的概念和故事的构建。 成本分摊为17%。

Proposal: ESI IMD-97-29949 Submitting Institution: University of California Principal Investigator: David Lindberg Proposal Title: Tours Through Time-Accessing Science through Technology: A K-12 Project abstract: This project develops modules to simulate a series of visits or tours to a paleontology museum. Within the modules, each basic tour, including narrative and images, emphasizes the major science concepts needed to understand "a big idea." The tours are produced in three levels: K-4, 5-8, 9-12, each in English and Spanish. Within any given classroom, student levels vary, so teacher can assign students to a tour at an appropriate level. Included are embedded activities, side trips for more depth, and a visit to a research lab where students learn the processes of science first-hand and develop research skills. Each module includes an on-line Teacher's Guide that contains: teaching strategies, instructional activities, connections to Standards, assessment, and resources for further teacher understanding. All materials are available through Web access or on CD-ROM. The project models state-of-the-are research and technology and employs instructional strategies that are encouraged in K-12 classrooms where science is taught in a connected, conceptual, and constructive approach. Open-ended inquiry allows students to be actively engaged in their own construction of the concepts and story. Cost sharing is 17%.
