Information to the Membership of the American Anthropological Association

该计划的重点是向美国人类学协会（AAA）的成员传播新开发的多媒体课件，用于教授本科生人类学社会科学研究的各个关键方面。本课程将在萤幕上呈现想像力丰富、视觉上吸引人、并经课堂测试的互联网、WEB、光碟材料应用，以及电脑辅助的人类学教学方法。这些材料包括以下内容的交互式多媒体打包信息：(1)民族志实地研究方法；(2)体质人类学中对人类体质多样性的实验室分析；(3)考古学中对木乃伊和物质文化遗存和文化组织的分析；(4)对非洲（Olduvial Gorge）某研究项目的人种古生物学和物质文化遗迹进行分析；(5)野外和实验室考古学，侧重于教授考古学本科生获取数字化的野外数据，将其传输到计算机中，然后在野外学校设置中对数据进行操作以进行各种分析。所呈现的材料强调社会科学研究方法的学习和/或评估，通过使用计算机辅助教学的实际“动手”应用。上述五种学习方法和教学方法将于1998年12月1日至6日在费城举行的美国教育协会年度全国会议的四小时特邀会议上进行展示。这节课的题目是“人类学课件：电子媒体教学”。PI是会议的组织者。公团预计，将有150多名人类学家参加会议，通过他们，会议将扩大到更多的人。人类学课件信息的传播是必要的，因为在一个特定的时刻，关于新媒体和电子通信在本科教育中的应用的认识、讨论或知识是很少的。正因为如此，目前人类学专业的本科生在交互式多媒体教学中并没有得到很好的效果。

The proposed project focuses on disseminating information to the members of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) on newly developed multimedia courseware for teaching undergraduates various key aspects of social scientific research in anthropology. The session will feature the on-screen presentation of imaginative, visually engaging, and classroom tested applications of Internet, WEB, and CD-ROM based materials and computer facilitated approaches to the teaching of anthropology.The materials include interactive multimedia packaged information on (1) ethnographic field research methods; (2) laboratory analysis of human physical diversity in physical anthropology, (3) an analysis of mummified and material culture remains and cultural organization in archaeology; (4) an analysis of ethno-palentological and material culture remains at a specif research project in Africa (Olduvial Gorge); and (5) fireld and laboratory archaeology that focuses on teaching archaeology undergraduates to acquire digital field data, transfer it to the computer, and then manipulate the data to carry out various kinds of analysis in a cummer field school setting.The materials presented emphasize the learning and/or evaluation of social scientific research methods vby actural "hands-on" applications using computing facilitated instruction.The five learning packages and teaching approaches mentioned above will be demonstrated at a four hour invited session of the annual national meetings of the AAA in Philadelphia on Decembe 1-6, 1998. The session is titled "Anthropology Courseware: Teaching with Electronic Media." The PI is the organizer of the session.The PI expects that the session will reach as many as 150 anthropologists in the session audience and through them the session will reach a considerable number more. The dissemination of information on courseware in anthropology is needed because there is little awareness, discussion or knowledge at a given moment about the applications of new media and electronic communications in undergraduate education within the profession. Because of this, undergraduates in anthropology are currently not benefiting from interactive multimedia instruction.
