NanoTeach: Professional Development in Nanoscale Science

摘要DRL-0822128 PI：John Ristvey机构：中大陆教育和学习研究（McREL）标题：纳米教学：纳米科学的专业发展该项目正在探索将纳米科学课程引入高中。它正在创建和研究基于两个产品的专业发展模式，纳米教学教师指南和纳米教学促进者指南。纳米教学教师指南是为教师自学（低待遇组）和促进发展模式（高待遇组）而设计的。NanoTeach辅导员指南概述了专业发展经验，并为辅导员提供指导。专业发展模式结合（1）设计框架（基于C-U-E模型设计有效的科学课程：内容，理解和环境）;（2）来自NSF资助的课程项目的纳米级科学内容;（3）多种交付方法。正在招聘20名教师，对专业发展材料进行试点测试。高治疗组的75名教师正在经历为期2周的夏季研讨会，异步会议，而他们实施他们的第一课，多功能教室（同步，在线视频技术），第二课的实施，以及最后2周的夏季研讨会。75名教师在低治疗组的经验，简短的方向纳米科学资源，有机会获得新台币教师的指南，实施两个教训，并听取汇报。NanoTeach的合作伙伴包括白杨协会、斯坦福大学纳米工厂和国家纳米技术基础设施网络。研究由白杨协会进行，项目评估由堪萨斯大学的道格霍夫曼博士进行。

ABSTRACTDRL-0822128PI: John RistveyInstitution: Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL)Title: NanoTeach: Professional Development in Nanoscale ScienceThis project is exploring the introduction of nanoscience curriculum into high schools. It is creating and studying a professional development model based on two products, the NanoTeach Teacher's Guide and the NanoTeach Facilitator's Guide. The NanoTeach Teacher's guide is being designed for self study by teachers (low treatment group) and for use in a facilitated development model (high treatment group). The NanoTeach Facilitator's Guide outlines the professional development experiences and provides guidance for facilitators. The professional development model combines (1) a design framework (Designing Effective Science Lessons based on the C-U-E model: content, understanding, and environment); (2) nanoscale science content from NSF-funded curriculum projects; and (3) multiple delivery methods. Twenty teachers are being recruited to carry out the pilot testing of the professional development materials. 75 teachers in the high treatment group are experiencing a 2-week summer workshop, asynchronous sessions while they implement their first lesson, Versatile Classroom (a synchronous, online video technology), implementation of a second lesson, and a final 2-week summer workshop. 75 teachers in the low treatment group experience a brief orientation to nanoscience resources, have access to the NT Teacher's Guide, implement two lessons, and debrief. The NanoTeach partnership includes Aspen Associates, the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility, and the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network. The research study is being carried out by Aspen Associates, and project evaluation is conducted by Dr. Doug Huffman of the University of Kansas.
