Science and Engineering in the Lives of Students

视频案例研究强调了科学在建筑问题中的作用，这是这个专业发展计划的核心，包括视频、印刷和网络组件。俄勒冈州立大学和Chemeketa社区学院的教师正在采用一种基于研究的教学模式，并将以前先进技术教育项目中建筑行业所熟悉的问题用于科学教学。教材被组织成一个完整的专业发展计划，供初高中科学教师和社区大学科学技术教师使用。该项目正在创建一个包含视频、打印和网络组件的DVD格式的专业发展课程，(a)通过建筑问题展示基于教学标准的科学，(b)展示如何突出高中科学对广泛的技术专业的价值，特别是在建筑领域。(c)提供工具和信息，帮助学生理解内容知识和职业道路之间的关系，从学徒到专业工程师。该设计通过关注将科学与人及其社区联系起来的建筑概念，充分利用了人与建筑环境之间的个人联系。视频组件由网络和印刷材料支持，利用基于研究的专业发展形式，将专业建筑环境中的案例与模型课堂教学联系起来。媒体制作由史密森天体物理天文台的科学媒体集团负责。

Video case studies highlighting the role of science in construction problems are the core of this professional development program that includes video, print, and web components. Faculty from Oregon State University and Chemeketa Community College are adapting a research-based instructional model and problems familiar to the construction industry generated in previous Advanced Technological Education projects for use in science teaching. The instructional materials are organized into a complete professional development program for middle and high school science teachers and community college science and technology faculty. The project is creating a professional development course in DVD format with video, print, and web components that (a) demonstrate teaching standards-based science through construction problems, (b) demonstrate ways to highlight how high school science is valuable for a wide range of technical professions specifically in construction fields, and (c) present tools and information for helping students understand the relationship between content knowledge and career pathways ranging from the apprentice trades to professional engineer. The design capitalizes on a personal connection between people and their built environments through a focus on construction concepts that link science to people and their communities. Video components supported by web and print material utilize a research-based form of professional development that links cases in professional construction environments with model classroom teaching. Media production is being handled by the Science Media Group at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
