9809826 According to a 1996 NRC report, fewer than 25% of teachers in grades 5-8 majored in science, and less than 45% completed more than 10 credit hours of college science. The goal of this proposal is to improve the quality of science teaching in grades 6-12. Improving science teaching requires a complete overhaul of the traditional science-teaching models, however in-service teachers have few opportunities to see alternate techniques modeled. The PI proposes to develop a pilot short course that will help in-service science teachers incorporate inquiry-based and research-based education into their teaching techniques. During this short course, the teachers will do their own geoscience research on a local watershed and develop instructional plans to take their research activities into their classroom. The course is based on a similar course that was developed for instruction of undergraduates and graduate students. Although this course will be based on the local watershed, the result will be a model workshop that could be adapted for any location.

9809826根据1996年NRC的一份报告，5-8年级的教师中只有不到25%的人主修科学，不到45%的人完成了超过10个学分的大学科学课程。 该提案的目标是提高6-12年级的科学教学质量。 改善科学教学需要对传统的科学教学模式进行彻底改革，然而在职教师很少有机会看到替代技术的模式。 该计划建议发展一项短期试验课程，以协助在职科学教师将探究和研究为本的教育纳入其教学技巧。 在这个短期课程中，教师将对当地的分水岭进行自己的地球科学研究，并制定教学计划，将他们的研究活动带入课堂。 该课程是基于一个类似的课程，是为指导本科生和研究生开发的。 虽然本课程将以当地流域为基础，但其结果将是一个可适用于任何地点的示范讲习班。
