PROPOSAL NO.: 0230642PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Gilbert, ThomasINSTITUTION NAME: Northeastern UniversityTITLE: Engineering Connections in Grades 11-13 Science and Math CoursesABSTRACTThis proposal describes a year-long planning process to develop a model of teaching that reflects current cognitive learning theory and that will create a common pedagogical framework for science and math courses taken by juniors and seniors in high school and college freshmen. The overarching goal of this project is to recruit and retain a large and diverse population of young people to programs of study leading to careers as: 1) engineering professions in which they are master problem solvers and developers of new solutions to engineering challenges; and 2) high school math and science teachers who understand and are critical consumers of technology, and who can extrapolate fundamental concepts to engineering applications. The planning team consists of Northeastern University (NU) faculty from engineering, biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics and Boston Public School (BPS) math and science teachers. They will form a community of reflective teaching practitioners spanning across disciplines and the high school-university divide. These communities will meet to assess and enhance their own teaching practices and will collaboratively design: 1) a 3-week Urban Engineering Summer Camp for juniors from the John D. O'Bryant School of Mathematics and Science in Boston; 2) engineering activity modules for G11 and 12 math and science courses; 3) math and science courses taken by first-year engineering majors that are based on solving a series of engineering problems; 4) math and science courses taken by undergraduates in NU's School of Education that emphasize the connections between these courses and issues from engineering and technology; and 5) comprehensive, conceptual tests to assess student understanding of the principles of math and science and their abilities to apply these principles.

建议没有。[0230642]主要研究者：Gilbert， thomas机构名称：东北大学标题：11-13年级科学和数学课程中的工程联系摘要本提案描述了一个为期一年的规划过程，以开发一个反映当前认知学习理论的教学模型，并将为高中和大学新生的三年级和四年级的科学和数学课程创建一个通用的教学框架。该项目的总体目标是招募和留住大量不同类型的年轻人，让他们从事以下职业：1)工程专业，他们是解决问题的高手，是应对工程挑战的新解决方案的开发者；2)高中数学和科学教师，他们理解并是技术的关键消费者，他们可以将基本概念推断到工程应用中。规划团队由东北大学（NU）的工程、生物、化学、数学和物理教师以及波士顿公立学校（BPS）的数学和科学教师组成。他们将形成一个反思教学实践者的社区，跨越学科和高中-大学的鸿沟。这些社区将开会评估和加强他们自己的教学实践，并将合作设计：1)为波士顿约翰D.奥布莱恩数学与科学学院的三年级学生举办为期三周的城市工程夏令营；2) G11和g12数学和科学课程工程活动模块；3)工程专业一年级学生以解决一系列工程问题为基础的数学和科学课程；4)师范大学教育学院本科生开设的数学和科学课程，强调这些课程与工程和技术问题之间的联系；5)综合的、概念性的测试，以评估学生对数学和科学原理的理解以及他们应用这些原理的能力。
