Undergraduate Faculty Workshop for the Integration of Chemistry and Art into Liberal Arts, Chemistry and Teacher Curricula

1996年夏天，国际学生联合会开发并举办了题为《化学与艺术：非理科专业的科学课程》的Chautauqua短期课程，该短期课程得到了所有23名本科生教员的高度评价。Chautauqua项目基于两门独立的实验室科学课程，分别面向非理科专业本科生的化学和艺术；其中一门于1990年在宾夕法尼亚州米尔斯维尔大学开发，另一门于1992年在布兰迪斯大学开发并提供。布兰迪斯课程得到了美国国家科学基金会(DUE/CCD92-54291和96-53252)和斯隆基金会的发展支持。Chautauqua短期课程将于1997年6月为25名理科教员再次举办。然而，另有8至10名教职员工在等待课程名单上。该课程显然满足了需求，但它不能充分满足需求，因为等待名单的数量每年都在增加。为期三周的本科生科学、科学教育、艺术、艺术教育、考古和人类学系化学和艺术工作坊将于1998-99年度夏季举行。与为期三天的Chautauqua课程相比，这些研讨会提供了显著的优势。它们为传播化学和艺术课程提供了良好的基础，不仅使参与者在综合科学和艺术的内容方面，而且在向不同学生群体教授这些内容的有效教学战略方面，提供了密集的、参与性的体验。该项目超越了Chautauqua短期课程的限制，允许本科教师进行密集的工作，以(A)为非理科专业的学生开发化学和艺术课程，(B)为科学家开发用于化学教学的艺术应用范例，以及(C)开发和传播高中使用的化学和艺术课程。这些目标将通过举办两个不同类型的讲习班来实现。第一次研讨会于1998年夏天在米勒斯维尔大学举行，将来自物理科学、技术、艺术、人类学和考古学的其他教员聚集在一起，在模型课程的基础上为非科学家开发化学和艺术课程。1999年夏天在米勒斯维尔举办的第二期和第三期讲习班，有科学教育系、艺术教育系和职前或在职高中教师参加，以发展在高中课程中使用化学和艺术。教师参加这些研讨会后产生的教学活动、课程和实验室实验通过各种方式传播，包括电子清单服务器、化学和艺术网站、在专业期刊上发表文章，以及在国家、地区和地方专业会议上举行的化学和艺术专题讨论会。

During the summer of 1996 a Chautauqua Short Course entitled "Chemistry and Art: A Science Course for Non-science Majors" was developed and presented by the PI's. The short course received highest praise from all 23 undergraduate faculty participants. This Chautauqua program was based upon two separate laboratory science courses in chemistry and art for undergraduate non-science majors; one developed in 1990 at Millersville University of Pennsylvania and the other developed and offered at Brandeis University in 1992. The Brandeis course has received development support from NSF (DUE/CCD #92-54291 and #96-53252) and The Sloan Foundation. The Chautauqua Short Course will be repeated again in June 1997 for 25 science faculty. However, another eight to ten faculty are on the course waiting list. The course obviously meets a need but it cannot adequately meet the demand because each year the size of the waiting list grows. Three week long workshops for undergraduate science, science education, art, art education, archaeology and anthropology faculty on chemistry and art are being held in the summers of 1998-99. These workshops offer significant advantages over the three-day Chautauqua course. They provide a sound foundation for disseminating courses in chemistry and art by giving participants an intensive, participatory experience in not only the content of integrated science and art but of effective pedagogical strategies for teaching the content to diverse student populations. This project goes beyond the confines of the Chautauqua short course and allows intensive work with undergraduate faculty to (a) develop courses for non-science majors in chemistry and art, (b) to develop example applications in art for the teaching of chemistry to scientists, and (c) to develop and disseminate curricula in chemistry and art for use in high schools. These goals will be achieved by holding two different type workshops. The first workshop, held in the summer of 1998 at Millersville University, brings toge ther faculty from the physical sciences, technology, art, anthropology, and archaeology to develop courses in chemistry and art for nonscientists based upon the model courses. The second and third workshops, held at Millersville in the summer of 1999 involve science education faculty, art education faculty, and pre-service or in-service high school teachers to develop the use of chemistry and art in the high school curriculum. Teaching and learning activities, lessons, and laboratory experiments generated by faculty as a result of participation in these workshops are disseminated by a variety of means including an electronic listserver, a Chemistry and Art website, publications in professional journals, and symposia on chemistry and art held at national, regional, and local professional meetings.
