Science Technology: Knowledge and Skills, Phase II

摘要：科学技术：知识和技能(Science Technology：Knowledge and Skills)是一门跨学科(生物、化学、地球科学)、模块化的技术教育课程，面向11年级和12年级的学生。该课程的目标是以工业、基于问题的形式向高中生介绍基于标准的科学技术。每个模块为期14周，为期5周，旨在通过实验室体验、基于计算机的多媒体和视频为学生创建一个“虚拟工作场所”。在学习每个模块的过程中，学生将应用科学知识，并在工业的“真实世界”环境中练习解决问题和进行实验的技能。在整个项目中，通过各种方法评估学生的技能和知识熟练程度：使用与多媒体行业相关的模拟、实验室和演示的成绩评估；日记分析；进度自我评估；以及教师生成的评估。模块由一个写作团队开发，他们与技术教育教师和行业成员密切合作。模块组件(视频、基于计算机的多媒体和打印)由项目顾问、行业成员、教师和学生在其开发的关键点进行审查。经过复习和修改，模块在全国各地的各种高中环境(技术预科计划、通用技术教育计划和传统科学课程)中与教师进行现场测试。实地测试的结果被用来修订模块，为商业出版商的分发做准备。

Abstract: SciTeKS (Science Technology: Knowledge and Skills) is an interdisciplinary (biology, chemistry, earth science), modular, technology education curriculum for students in grades 11 and 12. The goal of the curriculum is to introduce high school students to standards-based science technology in an industrial, problem-based format. Each ofthe 14, 5-week modules is designed to create a "virtual workplace" for students, through laboratory experiences, computer-based multimedia, and video. While working through each module, students apply science knowledge, and practice problem-solving and laboratory skills in an industrial, "real world" context. Student proficiency in skills and knowledge is assessed throughout the program with a variety of methods: performance assessment using multimedia industry-related simulations, labs, and presentations; journal analysis; self-assessment of progress; and teacher-generated assessments. Modules are developed by a writing team who work in close collaboration with technology education teachers and industry members. Module components (video, computer-based multimedia, and print) are reviewed at key points in their development, by project advisors, members of industry, teachers, and students. After review and revision, modules are field tested with teachers in a variety of high school settings (tech prep programs, general technology education programs, and traditional science classes) across the country. Results from the field test are used to revise modules in preparation for dissemination by a commercial publisher.
