This award will support two researchers from the University of Hawaii on a planning visit to Canada in 2009. The primary goal of the visit is to initiate a long-term collaboration between researchers from the University of Hawaii and the University of British Columbia to advance the proficiency of students in physics, chemistry, biology, and geology through engaging new courses on global environmental challenges. The planning visit will enable the researchers to develop and assess the effectiveness of a new undergraduate curriculum on global environmental challenges for non-science majors. The team will adapt a scientific approach to teaching and developing the curriculum. Specifically, the team will:- establish what students should learn from the introductory courses, - scientifically measure what students are learning,- adapt instructional methods and curriculum, and- incorporate effective use of technology and pedagogical research to achieve desired learning outcomes.The team plans to disseminate the effective strategies and courses to all community colleges and universities in the University of Hawai'i system, as well as University of British Columbia.

该奖项将支持夏威夷大学的两名研究人员计划于2009年访问加拿大。此次访问的主要目标是启动夏威夷大学和不列颠哥伦比亚大学研究人员之间的长期合作，通过参与有关全球环境挑战的新课程，提高学生在物理、化学、生物和地质学方面的熟练程度。计划中的访问将使研究人员能够为非科学专业的学生开发和评估关于全球环境挑战的新本科课程的有效性。该团队将采用科学的方法来教学和开发课程。具体而言，该团队将：-确定学生应该从入门课程中学习什么，-科学地衡量学生正在学习什么，-调整教学方法和课程，以及-有效地利用技术和教学研究来实现预期的学习成果。该小组计划向夏威夷大学系统内的所有社区学院和大学以及不列颠哥伦比亚大学传播有效的战略和课程。
