9907755SlaterThis project is developing a series of innovative classroom instructional materials for the large-enrollment, introductory science survey course for non-science and pre-service education majors. The final materials package, called Lecture-Tutorials, is a self-contained, classroom-ready product for use with collaborative student learning groups. The materials are designed specifically to be easily integrated into the conventional lecture course. As such, this product directly addresses the needs of busy researchers and heavily loaded teaching faculty for effective, student-centered, classroom-ready materials that do not require a drastic course revision for implementation. The Lecture-Tutorials developed for this project are based upon educational research on student misconceptions, demonstrated effective instructional strategies, and extensive pilot and field-testing. The materials-development procedure serves as a national model for other science disciplines that provide similar large-enrollment introductory courses. The project investigators are primarily disseminating these materials through workshops at professional science meetings in addition to making print and Web versions readily available.

9907755Slater该项目正在为非科学和职前教育专业的大招生、入门科学调查课程开发一系列创新课堂教学材料。 最终的材料包称为讲座教程，是一个独立的、可供课堂使用的产品，可供学生协作学习小组使用。 这些材料经过专门设计，可以轻松集成到传统的讲座课程中。 因此，该产品直接满足了忙碌的研究人员和负担沉重的教学人员的需求，他们需要有效的、以学生为中心的、可供课堂使用的材料，而无需对课程进行大幅修改即可实施。 为本项目开发的讲座教程基于对学生误解的教育研究、展示了有效的教学策略以及广泛的试点和现场测试。 材料开发程序为其他提供类似大招生入门课程的科学学科树立了国家典范。 除了提供印刷版和网络版外，项目研究人员主要通过专业科学会议上的研讨会传播这些材料。
