WWW-based Graduate Postcertification Teacher Training in Chemistry

98 19377BROOKS他的三年项目要求716 228美元，用于为已经获得科学认证的教师提供一系列九门以化学内容为导向的研究生单元课程的材料开发。这个项目主要是针对那些刚开始教化学的教师。这些材料将侧重于那些内容和教育学主题，这些主题可能会使他们对他们目前教授的课程中的化学和相关科学和数学内容有非常深刻的理解。对教师知识的评估是这些材料的核心，将通过万维网提供。在提交答复后，教师将立即收到反馈--在计算机评分的情况下，通过计算机进行详细的计算机计算辅导，以及模拟答案或手工评分的答案或关键字。这些材料将通过向非合作学校的传统许可安排在美国各地广泛提供。将建立一项低成本的服务，将材料递送给全美注册的学术项目的教师。所有材料都将在WWW上公开提供。共有30多家机构参与。该项目预计将为至少270名教师提供服务，每位教师将获得18学分(超过270小时)的硕士学位。该项目预计将持续到2002年。

9819377BROOKSThis three year project requests $716,228 for the purpose of providing materials development for a series of nine graduate chemistry-content-oriented modular courses for already science-certified teachers. The project is aimed primarily at those teachers who are new to teaching chemistry. The materials will focus on those content and pedagogy topics likely to provide them with very deep understanding of chemistry and related science and mathematics content in the curricula they currently teach. Assessment of teacher knowledge serves as the core of these materials and will be delivered using the World Wide Web. Immediately upon submission of responses, teachers will receive feedback -- detailed, computer-calculated tutoring in the case of computer-graded responses, and model answers or keys for responses that are to be 'hand' graded. The materials will be made available widely throughout the US through traditional licensing arrangements to non-partner schools. A low cost service for delivering the materials to teachers enrolled in academic programs throughout the US will be established. All of the materials will be publicly available over the WWW. There are over 30 participating institutions. The project is expected to serve at least 270 teachers, each receiving 18 credit hours( over 270 hours) towards a masters degree. The project is expected to run through 2002.
