Developmental Biology: An Interactive CD-ROM for the High School Classroom

9819250MCINERNEY该项目寻求资金，以制作一张附带印刷材料的光盘，可用于高中生物课堂，以使发育生物学的教学现代化。这些材料将以10节课时的探究式教学的形式呈现，可以取代或伴随现有高中教科书中的发展生物学；BSC将在其所有三本BSC教材中使用该模块。发育生物学将涵盖四个一般主题：个体生物体的发育、发育和进化、发育和科学方法以及发育生物学的个人和社会影响。几个物种发展的动态镜头、三维图形(学生可以操纵)、现代和经典实验的模拟、外部数据库的链接以及基本文本材料将被纳入CD-ROM。将为教师提供补充材料。将向学生提供印刷材料，包括动手活动和实验室调查，这些材料将与光盘内容结合在一起。这个为期20个月的项目将涉及BSC、犹他大学埃克尔斯人类遗传学研究所和学习系统顾问公司(他们将分包制作光盘)。BSC提交了一份计划周密、久经考验的开发和评价程序。BSC和犹他大学将通过一家商业出版商发行该CD-ROM。

9819250MCINERNEYThis project seeks funding to create a CD-ROM with accompanying printed materials that can be used in high school biology classrooms to modernize the teaching of developmental biology. The material will be presented in a format of 10 class periods of inquiry-based instruction, which could replace or accompany the treatment of developmental biology in existing high school textbooks; BSCS will use the module in all three of its BSCS texts. Four general topics of Developmental Biology will be covered: the development of individual organisms, development and evolution, development and the methods of science, and personal and social implications of developmental biology. Motion footage of development of several species, 3-D graphics (which can be manipulated by students), simulations of modern and classic experiments, links to external databases, as well as basic text material will be incorporated in the CD-ROM. Supplemental material for teachers will be supplied. Students will be presented with printed material, including hands-on activities and laboratory investigations, which will be integrated with the CD-ROM content. The 20-month project will involve BSCS, the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics at the University of Utah, and Learning Systems Consultants (who will be subcontracted to create the CD-ROM). BSCS has submitted a well-planned and time-tested development and evaluation process. BSCS and the University of Utah will distribute the CD-ROM via a commercial publisher.
