100P: A Guided Discovery Curriculum for Computer Science

计算机科学(31)该提案提出了100P，这是一门创新的指导性发现课程。在100P课程中，学生们从课堂上解放出来；取而代之的是，学生在整个本科生涯中致力于100个与概念和研究相关的问题。这100个问题引导学生发现学位课程毕业生所需的基本知识和技能。每个学生都可以自由地创造一种个性化的学习和发现模式。该课程培养学生的深度学习，挑战学生的智力发展。100P计划鼓励学生成为灵活的学习者，他们可以根据需要利用各种资源，成为有弹性的学习者，他们明白进步可以来自失败，并且成为接受过更好培训的终身学习者，以应对全球化的挑战。教室的结构被一个新的结构取代：九道题和一次口试。这种结构在学生的整个职业生涯中重复出现。因此，100P不仅是一门严格的课程，而且是一门关爱的课程，强调教师和同行指导。智力优势：100P为获得学士学位提供了另一种模式。新课程整合了教育研究中的一些最好的想法，以构建一个促进以学生为中心的学习的教育环境，允许及早沉浸在学科和本科研究中，并培养出敏捷、足智多谋和适应力强的学习者。该项目的发展不仅提供了一种创新的教育计划和技术来提高学生的成功，还提供了对CSI学习多样性和教学的洞察。更广泛的影响：这一建议为CS以及潜在的其他STEM学科的学生提供了一种新的教育范式。比起常规的课堂形式，100便士可以鼓励学生更容易地发挥他们的潜力。100P计划帮助所有学生在支持的环境中努力追求卓越，变得更加自我激励和自信。该项目传播由计算机科学教育领域的专家审阅的材料。这些材料、100P计划的政策和程序、主要课程的详细概念指南、制度化计划和100P计划的评估工具，有助于其他部门采用100P。100便士还具有潜在的经济影响，因为它满足了2020年工程师中提出的受过广泛教育的工程师的愿望。

Computer Science (31)The proposal presents 100P, an innovative guided discovery curriculum. In the 100P program, students are freed from the classroom; students instead work on 100 concept- and research-related problems throughout their undergraduate careers. The 100 problems guide the students to discover the fundamental knowledge and skills required of a graduate of the degree program. Each student is free to create an individualized mode of learning and discovery. The curriculum fosters deep learning among students and challenges students' intellectual growth. The 100P program encourages students to be agile learners who can draw on a number of resources as needed, to be resilient learners who understand that progress can come from failure, and to be lifelong learners who are better trained for the challenges of globalization. The structure of the classroom is replaced by a new structure: nine problems and an oral exam. This structure repeats throughout a student's career. So not only is 100P a rigorous curriculum, it is a caring curriculum with its emphasis on both faculty and peer mentoring. Intellectual Merit: 100P provides an alternate paradigm for obtaining a baccalaureate degree. The new curriculum integrates some of the best ideas from educational research in building an educational environment that promotes student-centered learning, allows for early immersion into both the discipline and undergraduate research, and yields agile, resourceful, and resilient learners. The development of the program not only provides an innovative education program and techniques to enhance student success, but also insights into learning diversity and teaching in CS.Broader Impact: This proposal offers a new paradigm for educating students in CS and, potentially, other STEM disciplines. 100P encourages students to reach their potential more readily than the regular classroom format. The 100P program helps all students strive for excellence and become more self-motivated and self-confident while in a supportive environment. The project disseminates materials that have been vetted by experts in the fields of CS education. These materials, the policies and procedures for the 100P program, detailed concept guides for the major courses, an institutionalization plan, and an assessment instrument for the 100P program facilitate the adoption of 100P by other departments. 100P also has potential economic impact in that it addresses the aspiration of a broadly educated engineer set forth in The Engineer of 2020.
