Effective Access: Using Digital Libraries to Enhance High School Teaching in STEM

这个NSDL有针对性的研究项目正在研究中学科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）教师使用网络数字资源，因为他们寻找和选择优质材料，并将其定制为适合课堂学习环境。感兴趣的领域包括：表征使用数字资源准备课程，并将材料直接纳入学生的项目;和调查类型的软件工具，课程模板，并支持，使教师能够将数字图书馆资源整合到一般的课堂设置。正在采用调查、访谈和观察相结合的方法，其结果为确定面向中学STEM教师广大受众的具体服务和工具提供了一个总体框架。

This NSDL Targeted Research project is studying the use of networked digital resources by secondary school science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teachers as they seek and select quality materials and tailor them to fit the learning environment of their classroom. Areas of interest include:characterizing the use of digital resources for preparing lessons and for incorporating materials directly into student projects; and investigating types of software tools, lesson templates, and support that enable teachers to integrate digital library resources into general classroom settings. A combination of surveys, interviews, and observations are being employed, and the results are informing a general framework for the identification of specific services and tools for the broad audience of secondary school STEM teachers.
