Integrating Core Content: Development of an Integrated Science Program for High School

9911614BYBEET他的两年期多学科科学课程以詹姆斯·特雷菲尔和罗伯特·哈森的大学课本《科学：综合方法》为基础，为九年级和十年级的传统科学课程提供了另一种选择。首先选择学习目标，然后提供评估以确定学习目标是否实现，从而制定材料。对于九年级，通过使用不同整合工具的横向主题来学习严谨的科学：通过个人和社会视角的能源，通过科学和技术的物质世界，通过科学的历史和自然循环，通过作为人类努力的科学的进化。在十年级，模块集中于每个学科的经验以及与其他学科的联系。本课程结束后，学生应该能够继续学习其他学科或多学科的标准或荣誉课程。除学生材料外，还有一份教师指南，提供教学活动的内容和战略，以及两份实施指南，解决综合科学教师对变革的认识和规划以及正在进行的实施需求。还制定了一项职业发展计划。现场测试在全国八个地点进行。

9911614BYBEEThis two-year, multidisciplinary science program based on the college text, "The Sciences: An Integrated Approach," by James Trefil and Robert Hazen provides an alternative to the traditional sequence of science courses in the ninth and tenth grades. The materials are developed by first choosing the learning goals, then providing assessments to determine that the learning goals are achieved. For the ninth grade, rigorous science is learned through the use of cross-cutting themes with different integrating vehicles: energy through personal and social perspectives, the material world through science and technology, cycles through history and nature of science, and evolution through science as a human endeavor. In the tenth grade, modules concentrate on experiences from each discipline with connections to the others. After this course, students should be able to continue taking other disciplinary or multidisciplinary standard or honors courses. In addition to the student materials, there is a teachers' guide providing content and strategies for teaching the activities and two implementation guides addressing awareness and planning for change and ongoing implementation needs of the teachers of integrated science. A professional development program is also developed. Field testing is in eight sites nationally.
