MOBILIZE: Mobilizing for Innovative Computer Science Teaching and Learning is a Targeted Math and Science Partnership between the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) as the lead and the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) as the Core Partner school district. The Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) and the Association for Computing Machinery, Inc. are Supporting Partners. The Partnership promotes computational thinking, with an overarching goal of fostering inventiveness and innovation among students and teachers through increasing the computer science instructional capacity of high schools, especially in a large urban school district. This project brings together the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS), an NSF Science and Technology Center (STC) in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Center X in the Graduate School of Education & Information Studies at UCLA. MOBILIZE deploys challenging and engaging hands-on computer science projects and curricula using new participatory sensing technologies in high school mathematics and science courses. MOBILIZE prepares a large number of high school teachers to use inquiry teaching methods with the intent that technologies that are ubiquitous with students today, such as mobile phones, peak the interests of students and motivate them in ways that ultimately increases both students' achievement and their identities as "doers" of science, while enhancing the computer science knowledge and pedagogical acumen of teachers. MOBILIZE:--creates exciting, challenging, multi-disciplinary, real-life based, cutting-edge, hands-on inquiry projects, tools, and materials for teaching computer science concepts in high school computer science AND in standards-based mathematics and science classes. Piloting occurs locally with dissemination nationally, with the long term goal of increasing student engagement and achievement in computer science, mathematics, and the other sciences. High school teachers work with STEM and education faculty to develop new computer science materials that build on the CENS Participatory Sensing systems, which involve students in observing and analyzing environmental and social processes where they live, work, and play;--develops an innovative model of professional development for current and future high school teachers around the implementation of these projects, to include multi-disciplinary teams of teachers organized into learning communities with STEM and Education faculty, coaching, and a new pre-service computer science methods course, in order to create a cadre of teachers with expertise in both computer science content and pedagogy; and--informs state and national policy changes (including changing the academic status of computer science from vocational to academic and establishing a computer science teaching credential) necessary to improve the quality of high school computer science instruction.The research hypotheses explored focus on: students as computer scientists, whether in mathematics, science or computer science courses; teachers as computer scientists, whether teaching mathematics, science or computer science; and impact on pre-service teachers in terms of their likelihood to utilize inquiry-based instructional strategies during their early years of teaching.

动员：动员创新的计算机科学教学是加州大学洛杉矶分校(UCLA)作为牵头机构，洛杉矶联合学区(LAU.S.)作为核心合作伙伴的一个有针对性的数学和科学伙伴关系。计算机科学教师协会(Csta)和计算机械协会是支持合作伙伴。该伙伴关系促进计算思维，其总体目标是通过提高高中的计算机科学教学能力，特别是在大型城市学区，培养学生和教师的发明创造能力。该项目汇集了嵌入式网络传感中心(CENS)、亨利·萨穆埃利工程与应用科学学院的NSF科学和技术中心(STC)以及加州大学洛杉矶分校教育与信息研究研究生院的X中心。MOBILE在高中数学和科学课程中使用新的参与式传感技术，部署具有挑战性和参与性的动手计算机科学项目和课程。MOBILE使大量高中教师准备好使用探究式教学方法，目的是让当今学生普遍使用的技术，如手机，提高学生的兴趣，并以最终提高学生成绩和他们作为科学“实干家”的身份的方式激励他们，同时增强教师的计算机科学知识和教学敏锐性。调动：--创建令人兴奋的、具有挑战性的、多学科的、基于现实生活的、尖端的、动手操作的探究项目、工具和材料，用于在高中计算机科学和基于标准的数学和科学课程中教授计算机科学概念。试点在当地进行，在全国范围内传播，长期目标是提高学生在计算机科学、数学和其他科学领域的参与度和成就。高中教师与STEM和教育学院合作开发新的计算机科学材料，该材料建立在CENS参与式传感系统的基础上，该系统让学生观察和分析他们生活、工作和娱乐的环境和社会过程；-围绕这些项目的实施，为现有和未来的高中教师开发一种创新的专业发展模式，包括与STEM和教育教师组成学习社区的多学科教师团队、教练和一门新的任职前计算机科学方法课程，以培养一支拥有计算机科学内容和教育学专业知识的教师队伍；以及--通知国家和国家的政策变化(包括将计算机科学的学术地位从职业改为学术和建立计算机科学教师资格)，以提高高中计算机科学教学的质量。探索的研究假设集中在：学生作为计算机科学家，无论是在数学、科学还是计算机科学课程中；教师作为计算机科学家，无论是教授数学、科学还是计算机科学；以及对职前教师在他们早期教学期间使用探究式教学策略的影响。
