This proposal is for the development of an internet-based professional development model that would supplement hands-on workshops. The model would promote conceptual change and would be broadly accessible to elementary teachers. The efficacy of the model would be tested through an evaluation process. The focus is on using "everyday stuff" to teach children about the designed world. The project features collaboration of engineers and teachers in the development of curriculum. The project focuses on five topics of design that have previously been the basis of prior NSF-supported curriculum development by the PI, namely: "Environmental Analysis and Design;" "Mechanisms;" "Circuits and Controls;" "Packaging and Structures" and "Signs, Symbols and Codes." The project includes a pilot phase that focuses on facilitator training in the conduct of online forums for teachers, at five professional development sites. Two hands-on workshops will be conducted at these sites. A field-test phase follows, involving scaling-up to 15 sites nationally. The primary deliverable is a tested professaional development package.

这项建议是为了开发一个基于互联网的专业发展模式，以补充实践讲习班。 这一模式将促进观念的转变，并将广泛地为小学教师所接受。 将通过一个评价进程来检验该模式的效力。 重点是使用“日常用品”来教孩子们关于设计的世界。 该项目的特点是工程师和教师在课程开发方面的合作。 该项目侧重于五个设计主题，这些主题以前是PI先前NSF支持的课程开发的基础，即：“环境分析与设计”;“机制”;“电路与控制”;“包装与结构”和“标志，符号和代码”。“该项目包括一个试点阶段，重点是在五个专业发展站点为教师举办在线论坛的主持人培训。 将在这些地点举办两次实践讲习班。 随后是实地测试阶段，涉及扩大到全国15个地点。 主要的可交付成果是一个经过测试的通用开发包。
