CCLI Conference: Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM

该项目支持美国科学促进会（AAAS）在2010年秋季组织并举办一次课程、课程和实验指导（CCLI）的首席研究员（PI）会议。会议的目的是为CCLI的pi提供一个机会，分享方法和策略，以准备不同的本科生群体进入科学队伍，并作为公民参与技术社会。本次会议的总体成果是让CCLI pi确定合作者、战略和行动，他们和其他人可以利用这些战略、战略和行动来加强有前途的项目方法的设计、开发和实施，以改变本科STEM教育。会议包括全体会议、海报会议、互动研讨会，讨论那些主导CCLI项目感兴趣的主题，并有机会与其他致力于改善本科STEM教育的教师和教育领导者建立联系。会议将包括550名CCLI pi和50名其他参与者，包括出版商和专业协会、基金会和企业的工作人员。所有被选中参加会议的CCLI pi必须提交一个小组会议或海报。其他非nsf参与者将传播有关战略和概念的信息。为了确保主题和参与者之间的多样性，选择将考虑学科，项目类型，机构类型，种族/民族，性别，残疾和地理位置。现场项目评估捕捉与会者打算在会议结束后立即采取的行动。一项在线跟踪调查记录了与会者在会议结束后三个月内采取的行动。要开发的产品包括一份带有印刷摘要的会议计划和一份带有示范CCLI项目案例研究的光鲜亮丽的会后出版物。

The project is supporting The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to organize and run a Principal Investigator (PI) meeting for the Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Instruction (CCLI) in the fall of 2010. The objective of the conference is to provide an opportunity for CCLI PIs to share methods and strategies for preparing a diverse undergraduate student population to enter the scientific workforce and to participate as citizens in a technological society. The overall outcome of this conference is for CCLI PIs to identify collaborators, strategies, and actions that they and others can use to strengthen the design, development, and implementation of promising project approaches to transform undergraduate STEM education. The conference includes plenary lectures, poster sessions, interactive workshop discussions on topics of interest to those leading CCLI projects, and an opportunity to network with other faculty and educational leaders engaged in improving undergraduate STEM education. The conference will include 550 CCLI PIs and 50 other participants, including publishers and staff of professional societies, foundations, and business. All CCLI PIs selected to participate in the conference must present a small group session or a poster. Other non-NSF participants are expected to disseminate information about strategies and concepts. To ensure diversity among the topics and participants, selection is taking into account discipline, type of project, type of institution, race/ethnicity, gender, disability, and geographic location. The on-site project evaluation is capturing actions that participants intend to take immediately after the conference. An online follow-up survey is capturing actions that participants are taking no later than three months after the conference. Products to be developed include a conference program with printed abstracts and a glossy post-conference publication with case studies of exemplary CCLI projects.
