Publication and Dissemination of a CD-ROM Formatted Multimedia Ethnographic Research Methods Instructional Package

这个项目将继续进行已经进行了几年的工作。它将侧重于设计、制作和传播一个“独立”的光盘教学包。该工具旨在在逼真的学习环境中教授本科生选定的民族志实地研究方法。它的目的是作为一个文化人类学实验室模块介绍文化人类学课程，或为特殊项目。此外，学生和教师将能够访问一个网站，该网站将包含额外的民族志信息和民族志领域网站上的多媒体材料。CD包将包括以下组件：(1)一个启动和启动机制，提供一个教程，并将导航指示显示在屏幕上；(2)一个如何使用课件的教程；(3)关于该地区和社区的民族志背景信息，以及对包中各种实地研究练习中所采用的实地研究方法的用途和意义的描述；(4)三个实地研究练习，并附有相应的问题或作业，以评估学生的所学知识。准备包含在CD ROM中的材料已经在两所大学进行了测试。这项工作得到了美国国家科学基金会本科教育司的部分支持。项目负责人曼纽尔·卡洛斯博士计划使用一家商业出版商出版这些材料，供课堂使用。

This project will continue work that has been underway for several years. It will focus on designing, producing, and disseminating a "stand alone" instructional package on a CD ROM. This tool is designed to teach undergraduate students selected ethnographic field research methods in a life-like learning environment. It is intended to be used as a cultural anthropology laboratory section module for introductory cultural anthropology courses, or for special projects. Additionally, students and instructors will be able to visit a Website which will contain additional ethnographic information and multimedia materials on the ethnographic field site. The CD package will consist of the following components: (1) a start up and launch mechanism that provides a tutorial and brings navigation instructions to the screen, (2) a tutorial on how to use the courseware, (3) ethnographic background information on the region and communities, and descriptions of uses and meaning of the field research methods featured in the various field exercises in the package, (4) three field research exercises with corresponding sets of questions or assignments for evaluating what students have learned. Materials intended for inclusion in the CD ROM have been tested at two universities. The work has been conducted in part with support from the Division of Undergraduate Education of the National Science Foundation. The PI, Dr. Manual Carlos plans to publish these materials using a commercial publisher for classroom use.
