中文摘要
太平洋大学建议通过多方面、模块化的教学战略吸引女孩参与计算,该战略将重点放在女性计算机科学家作为领导者的身上。该方法将为7年级和8年级的女孩举办为期四周的计算机科学夏令营-G2CS(女孩聚集在一起学习计算机科学)-原创课程利用主动学习,重点是计算思维,一个指导计划,一个多媒体方法和互动网站,以及对参与学生的十年承诺。使用女性计算机科学领导者作为讲师,将学生从平时的环境和关注中解脱出来,使年轻女性能够专注于科学,并将自己想象成科学家。该夏令营将持续三年,在电子环境中开展系统的后续活动,将建立一个由学生、他们的家人、导师和教师以及合作伙伴组成的持续社区。这个特殊项目的重点是克服计算机科学领域缺乏年轻女性的问题,尽管它的方法适合在各种科学领域使用。该项目是太平洋大学和俄勒冈州国家公认的公共广播电台俄勒冈州公共广播公司(OPB)的合作伙伴关系。其他合作伙伴包括太平洋大学伯格伦德互联网研究中心、英特尔公司、教育媒体公司Fly Rhinoceros、Vernier Software&Amp;Technology、部落团体领导人、当地拉丁裔社区代表和当地学区负责人。该项目的成果包括对夏令营进行视频报道,报道青年科学家及其导师在工作中的情况,为夏令营网站提供类似游戏的“互动”,以及广泛收集的媒体工具。
英文摘要
Pacific University proposes to engage girls in computing with a multifaceted, modular pedagogical strategy that focuses on women computer scientists as leaders. The approach will feature a four-week long computer science summer camp for 7th and 8th grade girls - G2CS (Girls Gather for Computer Science) - with original curriculum that utilizes active learning and focuses on computational thinking, a mentoring program, a multi-media approach and interactive web site, as well as a ten-year commitment to the students involved. Using female computer science leaders as instructors and removing students from their usual surroundings and preoccupations free young women to concentrate on the science, and imagine themselves as scientists. The camp will run for three years and systematic follow-on activities within electronic environments will create an ongoing community of students, their families, mentors and teachers as well as partners. The focus in this particular project is on overcoming the lack of young women in computer science, though its approach would be suitable for use in a variety of scientific fields. The project is a partnership between Pacific University and Oregon's nationally recognized public broadcasting station, Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB). Other partners include the Berglund Center for Internet Studies at Pacific, the Intel Corporation, the educational media company Flying Rhinoceros, Vernier Software & Technology, leaders from tribal groups, local Latino community representatives, and local school district heads. The outcomes of the project include video coverage of the camp, featuring young scientists and their mentors at work, game-like "interactives" for the camp web site, and a broad collection of media tools.
