Integrating the Sciences and Science Education in the Early College Curriculum

（99）本项目是为所有科学、中等科学教育和数学教育专业的学生开发和实施一年级和二年级的必修综合科学课程。新课程以布林莫尔学院的“搭建桥梁”项目为基础，由6门科学课程、最多6门数学课程和5门“骨干”实验/研究系列课程组成，要求学生以合作小组的形式运用多门课程的知识来解决问题。该项目的智力价值在于设计了一门课程，展示了科学与数学之间的联系，同时为教育专业学生提供了以学生为中心、基于标准的教学和评估策略的模型。项目的前两年重点是材料的开发和试点；第三年将全面实施。为了确保广泛的影响，正在制作课程教材，并在全国范围内出版，以传播课程模式。

Interdisciplinary (99) This project is developing and implementing a required freshman and sophomore integrated science curriculum for all science, secondary science education and mathematics education majors. The new curriculum, based on the "Building Bridges" program at Bryn Mawr College, is composed of 6 science courses, up to 6 mathematics courses, and a 5-course "backbone" laboratory/research series requiring students to work in cooperative groups to apply learning from multiple courses to solve problems. The intellectual merit of the project lies in the design of a curriculum that demonstrates connections between science and mathematics, while modeling for education majors the use of student-centered, standards-based instructional and assessment strategies. The first two years of the project focus on development and piloting of materials; full implementation is occurring during the third year. To ensure broad impact, curricular materials are being produced for custom and nationwide publication to disseminate the curricular model.
