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

在1996年夏天，一个肖托夸夸短期课程，题为“化学和艺术：非科学专业的科学课程”是由PI的开发和介绍。短期课程得到了所有23名本科教师参与者的最高赞誉。这个肖托夸项目基于本科非理科专业的化学和艺术两门独立的实验室科学课程;一门于1990年在宾夕法尼亚州米勒斯维尔大学开发，另一门于1992年在布兰迪斯大学开发和提供。布兰代斯课程得到了NSF（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名科学系举办。然而，另有8至10名教师在课程等候名单上。这项课程显然是符合需要的，但却不能充分满足需求，因为轮候人数每年都在增加。 1998-99年夏季，为本科生科学、科学教育、艺术、艺术教育、考古学和人类学系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夸课程相比，这些讲习班具有明显的优势。它们为传播化学和艺术课程提供了坚实的基础，使参与者不仅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获得了密集的参与性经验。该项目超出了肖托夸短期课程的范围，允许与本科教师进行密集的工作，以（a）为非理科专业的化学和艺术专业学生开发课程，（B）为科学家的化学教学开发艺术应用实例，（c）开发和传播化学和艺术课程供高中使用。这些目标将通过举办两个不同类型的研讨会来实现。 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，根据示范课程为非科学家开发化学和艺术课程。第二次和第三次研讨会，在米勒斯维尔在1999年夏天举行涉及科学教育系，艺术教育系，职前或在职高中教师开发化学和艺术在高中课程的使用。教学和学习活动，经验教训，并通过各种手段，包括电子listserver，化学和艺术网站，专业期刊上的出版物，以及在国家，区域和地方专业会议上举行的化学和艺术研讨会传播教师作为参与这些研讨会的结果产生的实验室实验。

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.
