ChemPRIME: Illustrating Chemistry Concepts with Multiple Contexts

化学 (12) ChemPRIME（通过综合多个示例的化学原理）计划正在开发一种学习化学的方法，该方法以许多流行文本常见的逻辑发展顺序呈现概念，但允许学生从各种示例或说明概念的特定主题示例中进行选择，这些示例排列在贯穿整个课程的轨道中。 ChemPRIME 将化学工具应用于学生感兴趣的问题或科目。ChemPRIME 保留了以前化学教学方法的优点，并克服了缺点，保留了理论的分层发展，同时允许学生选择激励他们学习的理论案例或应用。 该项目正在为典型的普通化学课程中包含的大多数概念开发范例，涵盖地质学、地质学、地质学等领域。物理/天文学；工程;日常用品；运动、生理与健康；生物科学；文科;环境和法证学。 ChemPRIME 提供了将化学前沿发展融入课程的机会，同时反映了该领域对其他学科日益增长的贡献。 ChemPRIME 正在与课程管理系统 Moodle® 结合开发为 MediaWiki® 文本。 MediaWiki® 和 Moodle® 都是开源的，使得该项目易于被其他人使用和改编。 ChemPRIME 将通过化学教育数字图书馆（国家科学数字图书馆的一个途径）进行传播，并将借鉴并为指定为 NSDL 途径的各个学科做出贡献。 ChemPRIME 设计邀请所有用户贡献其专业知识或兴趣领域的范例。

Chemistry (12) The ChemPRIME (Chemical Principles through Integrated Multiple Exemplars) Program is developing an approach to learning chemistry that presents Concepts in a logically developed order common to many popular texts, but allows students to choose from a wide variety of Exemplars, or subject-specific examples that illustrate the concepts, arranged in Tracks that run through the entire course. ChemPRIME applies the tools of chemistry to issues or subjects that students are interested in. ChemPRIME retains the advantages, and sheds the disadvantages, of previous approaches to teaching chemistry, by retaining the hierarchical development of theory while allowing students to choose cases or applications of the theory that motivate them to learn. This project is developing exemplars for most of the concepts included in a typical general chemistry course spanning tracks like Geology; Physics/Astronomy; Engineering; Everyday Products; Sports, Physiology and Health; Biological Science; Liberal Arts; Environment and Forensics. ChemPRIME offers an opportunity to integrate frontier developments in chemistry into the curriculum while reflecting the field's increasing contributions to other disciplines. ChemPRIME is being developed as a MediaWiki® text in combination with the course management system Moodle®. Both MediaWiki® and Moodle® are open source, making the project readily available and adaptable by others. ChemPRIME will be disseminated through the Chemical Education Digital Library, a Pathway in the National Science Digital Library, and will draw upon and contribute to the various disciplines designated as NSDL Pathways. The ChemPRIME design invites all users to contribute exemplars from their fields of expertise or interest.
