Innovative Flight Simulation Experiences for Students and Teachers

0929609汗塔斯基吉大学建议使用低成本的飞行模拟环境，以提高学习物理和数学的学生在8-12年级在农村社区的梅肯县学校在亚拉巴马。它概述了模块开发的发展战略，使本科生和教师在发展过程中，教师实施，包括教师培训和学生研讨会。提案设计要求采用创新和成功的策略，吸引和教授8-12年级的本科生。 将开发实践学习模块，并培训教师使用这些模块。来自航空航天科学工程，数学和心理学社会学系的跨学科团队将开发实践学习模块，并为教师提供使用这些模块以及开发自己模块的培训。8-12年级的学生在塔斯基吉大学接触这种环境，它具有塔斯基吉飞行员的丰富遗产，将激发学生对STEM的兴趣，并激励目标受众。这些学习模块将进行试点测试，然后在周末和夏季作为密集的校园研讨会提供给初中和高中学生和教师。利用飞行模拟环境作为虚拟实验室的学习模块将提供一个动态的、引人入胜的和现实的动手活动环境，以学习物理和数学的各种概念及其在真实的生活中的相互关系和应用。

0929609KhanTuskegee University proposes to use a low-cost flight simulation environment to enhance learning physics and mathematics for students in grades 8-12 in a rural community in Macon County schools in Alabama. It outlines a development strategy for module development that engages undergraduates and teachers in the development process followed by teacher implementation including teacher training and student workshops. The proposal design calls for adapting an innovative and successful strategy for engaging and teaching undergraduates to grades 8-12. Hands-on learning modules will be developed and teachers trained in their use. An interdisciplinary team from the Aerospace Science Engineering, Mathematics, and Psychology & Sociology Departments will develop the hands-on learning modules and provide training to teachers on using these modules as well as on developing their own modules. Exposure of 8-12 grade students to this environment at Tuskegee University which has the rich heritage of the Tuskegee Airman will excite students interest in STEM and motivate the target audience. The learning modules will be pilot tested and then offered as intensive on-campus workshops during weekends and summer to middle and high school students and teachers. The learning modules utilizing the flight simulation environment as a virtual laboratory will provide a dynamic, engaging and realistic environment of hands-on activities to learn the various concepts of physics and mathematics and their inter-relationship and application in real life.
