The project will examine the extent to which training science faculty members at an HBCU community college (CC) in two teaching techniques (Reading Apprenticeship and critical thinking skill development) and subsequently supporting trained faculty through introductory science course redesign and implementation will result in improved student learning outcomes, particularly for minority students at the community college. The reading apprenticeship pedagogy focusing on strengthening disciplinary science reading skills would address the academic developmental needs of entering community college students in west central Alabama, known as the Black Belt for the acute poverty, inadequate public education, poor health, and high unemployment that exists in the region. The critical thinking skill development pedagogy would change the focus from simply covering science content at the community college to fill gaps in student preparation to developing their critical thinking and reasoning to improve students' problem solving ability. The project will contribute knowledge on what are effective approaches in teaching science in an HBCU community college specifically, and could generalize to other community colleges.

该项目将研究在何种程度上培训科学教师在HBCU社区学院（CC）在两种教学技术（阅读学徒和批判性思维技能的发展），并随后通过介绍科学课程的重新设计和实施支持训练有素的教师将导致改善学生的学习成果，特别是对少数民族学生在社区学院。阅读学徒教学法的重点是加强学科科学阅读技能将解决学术发展的需要，进入社区大学学生在中西部亚拉巴马，被称为黑带的严重贫困，公共教育不足，健康状况差，高失业率，存在于该地区。批判性思维技能发展教学法将把重点从社区学院简单地涵盖科学内容以填补学生准备的空白转变为发展他们的批判性思维和推理以提高学生解决问题的能力。 该项目将有助于了解什么是在HBCU社区学院的科学教学的有效方法，具体，并可以推广到其他社区学院。
