Teachers' Domain - Physical Science and Engineering

这一藏书项目使WGBH能够将其目前的教师领域数字图书馆扩展到物理科学和工程学的内容领域。教师领域数字图书馆项目的总体目的是将WGBH的高质量多媒体资源从他们的金库中转移到教师和学生手中，以直接针对他们的教学需求的形式。教师领域数字图书馆以生命科学为重点，是一项使命驱动的倡议，利用WGBH广泛的广播、视频和互动编程资源来支持K-12级别的基于标准的教学。该产品是一个可搜索的、基于Web的多媒体材料存储库，教师可以轻松地访问这些材料，以促进自己的专业发展，并丰富学生的课堂活动。与最初的奖项一样，正在组织物理科学和工程材料，以反映与通常教授的课堂单元以及目前在州和国家两级适用的成绩标准的一致。这些多媒体资产正在被元标记，并提供大量的上下文信息，以允许实际、有效地使用。每个档案资源都附有注释、背景论文、标准关联和课程整合支持，个性化资源箱和关键字搜索能力等功能使其易于使用和最大限度地发挥影响。该项目是世界卫生组织长期致力于支持全国教育改革努力的结果，这一承诺在科学学科领域最为常见。科学节目，包括新星、科学奥德赛、大建筑和进化等系列节目，被公认为是电视上最好的节目之一，并被用来支持全国的课堂教学。这些节目总共代表了数千个小时的编程，包含抽象概念、经典科学实验、案例研究、原始来源采访、动画和历史片段的真实世界应用。这些材料中的大部分都有支持性的教师指南和配套的网站，以扩大其教育影响。此外，WGBH还制作了大量高质量的K-12教师培训资源。许多基于视频的材料，包括调查课堂、科学优先、教师作为学习者、有效学习和探究物理，都是在NSF的支持下开发的。这些方案旨在促进教师教育和学生学习，通常配有印刷品和在线补充资料，以方便使用和最大限度地提高有效性，并解决方法问题以及教学和内容掌握。WGBH档案馆拥有丰富的高质量多媒体资料，特别是在科学学科领域。国家科学基金会数学和物理科学局的多学科活动办公室正在为该项目提供大量共同资金，以认识到为K-12教师，特别是在自然科学方面的教师收集视频资源的数字图书馆的重要性。

This Collections project is allowing WGBH to expand its current Teachers Domain Digital Library into the content areas of the Physical Sciences and Engineering. The overarching intent of the Teachers Domain Digital Library project is to get the high-quality, multimedia resources of WGBH out of their vaults and into the hands of teachers and students in a form that is directly targeted to their teaching and learning needs.The Teachers Domain Digital Library, with its focus in the Life Sciences, is a mission-driven initiative that is harnessing the extensive broadcast, video, and interactive programming resources of WGBH to support standards-based teaching and learning at the K-12 level. The product is a searchable, web-based repository of contextualized multimedia materials that teachers are easily accessing for their own professional development as well as to enrich classroom activities for students. As is the case of the original award, the Physical Sciences and Engineering materials are being organized to reflect alignment with commonly taught classroom units and with the performance standards currently applied at both state and national levels. These multimedia assets are being metatagged and presented with extensive contextual information to allow for practical, effective use. Annotations, background essays, standards correlations, and curriculum integration supports accompany each archival resource, and features such as personalized resource bins and keyword search capacity enable ease of use and maximum impact.This project is the result of the longstanding commitment of WGBH to the support of educational reform efforts nationwide, a commitment most common in the subject area of science. Science programming, including such series as NOVA, A SCIENCE ODYSSEY, BUILDING BIG, and EVOLUTION, is recognized to be among the finest on television and is used to support classroom teaching across the country. These shows collectively represent thousands of hours of programming and contain real world applications of abstract concepts, classic science experiments, case studies, primary source interviews, animations, and historical footage. Much of these materials have supporting teacher guides and companion web sites that extend their educational impact. In addition, WGBH has produced numerous, high-quality K-12 teacher training resources. Many of these video-based materials, including INVESTIGATING CLASSROOMS, SCIENCE FIRST, TEACHERS AS LEARNERS, LEARNING THAT WORKS, and PHYSICS BY INQUIRY have been developed with NSF support. These programs, designed to promote both teacher education and student learning, are usually accompanied by print and on-line supplements to facilitate use and maximize effectiveness and address methodological issues as well as pedagogy and content mastery. The WGBH archives are rich with high-quality, multimedia assets, especially within the subject area of science. Significant co-funding of this project is being provided by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the NSF Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences in recognition of the importance of a digital library collection of video-based resources for K-12 teachers, particularly in the physical sciences.
