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

1996年夏天，PI开发并提供了一门名为“化学和艺术：非科学专业学生的科学课程”的肖托夸短期课程。这个短期课程获得了23名本科教师的最高评价。这个肖托夸项目是基于两个独立的实验科学课程，化学和艺术，为本科生非科学专业；一项于1990年在宾夕法尼亚米勒斯维尔大学开发，另一项于1992年在布兰代斯大学开发并提供。布兰迪斯课程得到了美国国家科学基金会（DUE/CCD #92-54291和#96-53252）和斯隆基金会的开发支持。肖托夸短期课程将于1997年6月再次为25名科学教员开设。然而，还有8到10名教员在课程等候名单上。该课程显然满足了需求，但它不能充分满足需求，因为每年等待名单的规模都在增长。1998-99年夏季为本科科学、科学教育、艺术、艺术教育、考古学和人类学教员举办了为期三周的化学和艺术讲习班。与为期三天的肖托夸培训班相比，这些讲习班具有显著的优势。它们为传播化学和艺术课程提供了坚实的基础，让参与者不仅在综合科学和艺术的内容上，而且在向不同学生群体教授这些内容的有效教学策略上，获得密集的参与性体验。该项目超越了肖托夸短期课程的限制，允许与本科教师进行密集合作，以(a)为非科学专业的化学和艺术专业开发课程，(b)为科学家的化学教学开发艺术方面的示例应用，以及(c)开发和传播高中化学和艺术课程。这些目标将通过举办两种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，汇集了来自物理科学、技术、艺术、人类学和考古学的教师，在示范课程的基础上为非科学家开发化学和艺术课程。第二和第三次研讨会于1999年夏天在米勒斯维尔举行，涉及科学教育教师，艺术教育教师，职前或在职高中教师，以发展化学和艺术在高中课程中的应用。教师通过参与这些研讨会而产生的教学活动、课程和实验室实验通过各种方式传播，包括电子列表服务器、化学与艺术网站、专业期刊出版物以及在国家、地区和地方专业会议上举行的化学与艺术专题讨论会。

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.
