中文摘要
通过万维网(WWW)获得真实的科学数据为教育工作者提供了一个独特的机会,以真实和引人入胜的方式教授科学。 该项目正在探索教育工作者如何最有效地利用万维网提供的科学资源来编制课程和进行教学。 该项目将百慕大生物研究站的科学家和数据与佛罗里达国际大学教育学院未来的科学教师联系起来。该链接通过探索学院(TCOE)运营的现有虚拟校园进行调解。内容强调全球环境变化,因为它与BBSR的百慕大大西洋时间序列研究中的海洋学数据有关。由此产生的学习环境提供了机会,未来的科学教师在一个高少数民族地区使用基于网络的数据集进行探究式学习。 其目的是帮助未来的教师获得必要的技能,以设计更多的基于网络的课程,供6至12年级的教室使用。在这门课程中开发的课程将通过网络数据库与世界各地的教师共享。 该项目还通过确定使远程学习环境有效所需的组成部分、方法、人员和技术,记录创建网络学习环境的最有效设计过程。
英文摘要
The availability of real scientific data via the World Wide Web (WWW) affords a unique opportunity for educators to teach science in authentic and engaging ways. This project is exploring ways in which educators can most effectively use the scientific resources available via the World Wide Web in their curriculum development and teaching. The project is linking scientists and data at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research (BBSR) with prospective science teachers in the College of Education at Florida International University (FIU). This link is mediated via an existing virtual campus operated by the College of Exploration (TCOE). The content emphasizes global environmental change as it relates to the oceanographic data in BBSR's Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS). The resulting learning environment provides opportunities for prospective science teachers in a high-minority area to use web-based data sets to conduct inquiry-based learning. The objective is to help prospective teachers gain the skills needed to design additional web-based curricula for use in grades 6 to 12 classrooms. Curricula developed during this course will be shared with teachers everywhere through a web database. The project is also documenting the most effective design process for creating a web-enabled learning environment by identifying the components, pedagogies, personnel, and technologies needed to make the distance-learning environment effective.
