Engineering Design in Middle and Secondary Math & Science Education

建议没有。[0230593]主要研究者：Nair， satish机构名称：密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校题目：中学数学与科学教育中的工程设计[摘要]越来越多的人认为有必要将技术素养纳入未来教师的课程中。创新合作是影响这种变化的必要条件。密苏里-哥伦比亚大学（MU）的工程与教育学院将与哥伦比亚学区、一所农村学校、堪萨斯城的一所内城学校、一所社区学院、工程企业和密苏里州中小学教育部建立有意义的合作伙伴关系，以制定一项战略，增加工程内容，特别关注设计内容。在7-12年级的未来数学和科学教师课程中，使用实际操作的工程范例。该项目还将测试一个假设，即工程设计是一个理想的领域，可以接触到服务不足的群体，因为它利用了学生发现激励的动手活动，而且它还显示了与工作的联系。拟议的项目将有助于发展基础设施，以工程设计为中心，在初中和初中水平的数学和科学教育者、高等教育、工业和国家的初等和中等教育部门之间建立更深入和持续的伙伴关系。在计划拨款阶段和随后的更大努力中开发的原型资源将提供给整个地区、州和全国的中小学数学和科学教师，期望他们在适当的时候使用这些资源。从长远来看，这些变化将提高数学和科学的学习成绩，并带来有意义的工程设计经验，并增加参加工程学位课程的大学预科学生的数量。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230593PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Nair, SatishINSTITUTION NAME: University of Missouri-ColumbiaTITLE: Engineering Design in Middle and Secondary Math & Science EducationAbstractThere is increasing consensus for the need to incorporate technological literacy into the curriculum offuture teachers. Innovative collaborations are necessary to affect such a change. The Colleges ofEngineering and Education at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MU) will lead a meaningful partnership with the Columbia school district, one rural school, an inner city school in Kansas City, a community college, engineering businesses, and the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, to develop a strategy to increase the engineering content, with particular focus on design content, in the curriculum of future mathematics and science teachers in the 7-12 th grades, using hands-on engineering exemplars. The project will also test the hypothesis that engineering design is an ideal domain for reaching under served groups because it utilizes hands-on activities that students find motivating, and it also shows the connection to jobs.The proposed project will help to develop infrastructure for deeper and sustained partnerships,centered on engineering design, among middle and secondary level mathematics and science educators,higher education, industry, and the department of elementary and secondary education of the state. Theprototype resources developed in the planning grant stage and subsequent larger effort, will be madeavailable to middle and secondary mathematics and science teachers throughout the region, the state, andthe nation, with the expectation that they will utilize them whenever appropriate. These changes will, in the long term, lead to improved academic performance in mathematics and science, with meaningful engineering design experience, and to an increase in the number of pre-college students who enroll in engineering degree programs.
