Project ICAN: Inquiry, Context and Nature of Science

9911734 LEDERMANThis提案，由俄勒冈州州立大学赞助，将开展一项为期五年的领导计划，在中学科学，在该项目的生命周期，将影响400名教师，主要是在农村学校的俄勒冈州。 在为期三周的暑期课程中，项目工作人员将教授参与教师内容知识，监督教师在当前的研究项目中，实践在课堂上使用探究的技术，展示在课堂上使用技术支持科学探究的技术，并与教师合作开发适当的教学法。 在学年期间，教师将获得项目工作人员的支持，以帮助他们实施该计划，并帮助他们与同事合作。 每年将从参与者中选出一批教师，指定为指导教师，在活动期间与项目中的其他教师一起工作。 因此，到项目结束时，相当多的讲习班教师将具有丰富的辅导经验。 该项目的所有教师将在学校得到支持，因为他们在课堂上实施调查技术。

9911734LEDERMANThis proposal, sponsored by Oregon State University, will carry out a five-year leadership program in secondary science which, over the life of the project, will impact 400 teachers, mostly in schools in rural Oregon. In a three-week summer program the project staff will teach participating teachers content knowledge, supervise teachers in current research projects, practice techniques for using inquiry in the classroom, demonstrate techniques of using technology in the classroom in support of science inquiry and work with teachers to develop appropriate pedagogy. During the academic year the teachers will receive support from project staff to help them implement the program and to help them work with colleagues. Each year a cadre of teachers, designated as mentor teachers, will be selected from the participants to work with other teachers in the project for the duration of the activities. Thus, by the end of the project a substantial number of the workshop teachers will have significant mentoring experience. All teachers in the project will be supported in the schools as they implement inquiry techniques in their classrooms.
