100P: A Guided Discovery Curriculum for Computer Science

计算机科学（31）该提案提出了100 P，一个创新的指导发现课程。在100 P计划中，学生从课堂中解放出来;学生在整个本科生涯中致力于100个概念和研究相关的问题。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建学习和发现的个性化模式。该课程促进学生的深度学习，并挑战学生的智力成长。100 P计划鼓励学生成为敏捷的学习者，他们可以根据需要利用一些资源，成为有弹性的学习者，他们明白进步可以来自失败，并成为终身学习者，他们接受了更好的全球化挑战的培训。课堂的结构被一种新的结构所取代：九个问题和一个口语考试。这种结构在学生的整个职业生涯中重复。因此，100 P不仅是一门严格的课程，而且是一门充满爱心的课程，强调教师和同伴指导。智力优点：100 P提供了获得学士学位的替代范例。新课程整合了教育研究中的一些最好的想法，建立了一个促进以学生为中心的学习的教育环境，允许早期沉浸在学科和本科研究中，并产生敏捷，足智多谋和有弹性的学习者。该计划的发展不仅提供了一个创新的教育计划和技术，以提高学生的成功，但也深入了解学习的多样性和教学CS.更广泛的影响：这项建议提供了一个新的范例，教育学生在CS和，潜在的，其他STEM学科。100 P鼓励学生比常规课堂形式更容易发挥潜力。100 P计划帮助所有学生追求卓越，并在支持性的环境中变得更加自我激励和自信。该项目传播了经CS教育领域专家审查的材料。这些材料、100 P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100 P计划的评估工具有助于其他部门采用100 P。100 P还具有潜在的经济影响，因为它解决了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.
