Computation and Communication: Promoting Research Integration in Science and Mathematics (C2PRISM)

提案编号：0638423 PI：Fadi Deek机构：新泽西理工学院题目：计算与通信：促进科学与数学的研究整合（C2 PRISM） 本提案描述了新泽西理工学院开发的一个新项目。该项目的重点是在新泽西纽瓦克的高中科学和数学课程中注入计算科学和研究性学习方法。 该项目每年为8名研究员提供实践教学经验，并将扩大研究员的教育经验和交流技能。该项目将为中学教师和学生提供新的计算技能，帮助他们以新的方式研究科学，并为广泛的职业机会做好准备。智力优势： 这个项目的智力价值在于它的创新方法，通过注入计算工具，将课程和科学学科联系起来。计算是作为一个元素，渗透到数学和科学，而不是一个分离的主题。此外，进入课堂的博士研究向教师和学生展示了令人兴奋的新领域，并带来了超越传统方法的高水平的知识焦点。在这个项目中开发的方法和资源有可能对中学科学界有很大的好处，并可能在未来改变科学教学的性质。 更广泛的影响：该项目为研究员提供专业发展机会，并加强他们的教学和沟通技能。它为中学生提供计算技能和加强科学学习以及工作科学家的榜样。这可能导致更多的中学生以科学和技术为职业。它应该在学校内部留下一个基础，这将使学生在未来受益匪浅，并从根本上改善学生学习科学和探究的方式。

Proposal #: 0638423PI: Fadi DeekInstitution: New Jersey Institute of TechnologyTitle: Computation and Communication: Promoting Research Integration in Science and Mathematics (C2PRISM) This proposal describes a new project developed by New Jersey Institute of Technology. The project focuses on infusing computational science and methods using inquiry learning in the science and mathematics curriculum in high schools in Newark, New Jersey. The project provides hands-on instructional experience to 8 Fellows per year and will broaden the educational experience and communication skills of the Fellows. The project will provide secondary teachers and students with new computation skills that help them investigate science in new ways and prepare them for a wide array of career opportunities. Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of this project lies with its innovative method of bridging curriculum and the science disciplines through the infusion of computational tools. Computation is presented as an element that pervades math and science rather than a detached subject. In addition, doctoral research brought into the classroom exposes exciting new frontiers to teachers and students and brings a high level of intellectual focus the sciences beyond those found using traditional methods. The methods and resources developed during this project have the potential to be of great benefit to the secondary science community and perhaps change the nature of science instruction in the future. Broader Impacts: The project provides professional development opportunities for Fellows and strengthens their instructional and communication skills. It provides computational skills and strengthened science learning to secondary students as well as role models of working scientists. This could result in an increase in secondary students who pursue science and technology as careers. It should leave a foundation within the schools that will benefit students far into future and fundamentally improve the way that students learn about science and inquiry.
