The Marie H. Katzenbach School for the Deaf has developed the Distance Learning Science Project for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students. The goal of this three-year project is to increase deaf and hard of hearing students' interest and aptitude in science. The project's objectives include increasing the degree of interest in science among deaf and hard of hearing students in elementary, middle school, and high school programs; decreasing the gap in science knowledge between deaf/hard of hearing students and students who can hear, and increasing the target population's knowledge of various science topics over the life of the project. The goal and objectives will be achieved with the provision of science enhancement lessons and activities integrated with technology. Science enhancement lessons will be provided to deaf/hard of hearing students in several educational programs throughout the state via interactive television. Video-conferencing technology will enable the students and teachers to work together from four remote locations at the same time. The teachers from the participating schools planned six ITV science lessons per year, and the lessons follow the state standards for science education. During the classes, students will present projects and solutions to problems that were assigned to them at the previous class. Between classes, they will communicate with each other about the projects via e-mail, if they are old enough to have the written language skills. For the first time, educational programs for deaf students across New Jersey will be coordinating instruction in a content area. This is beneficial for the students, who tend to move from one program to another throughout their educational careers. In addition to the ITV science classes, students will participate in summer science camps, which are viewed as fun and educational mechanisms to increase students' interest in science and knowledge about scientific topics. The project is expected to increase students' interest in science in several ways. The use of interactive television will create excitement in and of itself. Interest will also be generated for the students through the experience of working cooperatively with other deaf/hard of hearing students. Additionally, science is often a neglected area in deaf education, because communication skills and basic reading and writing skills are viewed as having greater importance for deaf students. The emphasis on science through the enhancement lessons and activities is expected to facilitate the achievement of the project's goal. The project includes a plan to collect and analyze data in order to determine if the goal and objectives are met.

该玛丽H. Katzenbach聋人学校为聋人和重听学生开发了远程学习科学项目。 这个为期三年的项目的目标是提高聋人和重听学生对科学的兴趣和能力。 该项目的目标包括提高小学、初中和高中课程中聋人和重听学生对科学的兴趣程度;缩小聋人/重听学生与听力正常学生在科学知识方面的差距，并在项目实施期间提高目标人群对各种科学主题的知识。 将通过提供与技术相结合的科学强化课程和活动来实现目标和目的。 将通过互动电视在全州的几个教育项目中为聋哑/重听学生提供科学强化课程。 视频会议技术将使学生和教师能够同时从四个远程地点一起工作。 来自参与学校的教师每年计划六节ITV科学课，这些课程遵循国家科学教育标准。 在课堂上，学生将提出项目和解决方案，在前一节课分配给他们的问题。 在课堂之间，他们将通过以下方式相互交流项目 电子邮件，如果他们足够大，有书面语言技能。 新泽西的聋人学生教育项目将首次在一个内容领域协调教学。 这对学生来说是有益的，他们在整个教育生涯中往往会从一个项目转向另一个项目。 除了ITV科学课程外，学生还将参加暑期科学夏令营，这被视为一种有趣和教育机制，以提高学生对科学的兴趣和对科学主题的知识。 该项目预计将在几个方面提高学生对科学的兴趣。 交互式电视的使用本身就会引起人们的兴奋。 通过与其他聋人/重听学生合作的经验，也将产生学生的兴趣。 此外，科学往往是聋人教育中被忽视的领域，因为沟通技能和基本的阅读和写作技能被认为对聋人学生更重要。 通过强化课程和活动强调科学，预计将有助于实现该项目的目标。 该项目包括一个收集和分析数据的计划，以确定是否达到了目标和目的。
