Travel Support for U.S. Participants in the Ninth Inter- national Conference on Chemical Education

世界各地的科学教育似乎正在发生许多变化， 其中大部分是非常成功的，非常值得分享。 这项建议 将支持大约20种化学品的参与 第九届国际化学教育大会， 定于1987年7月26日至31日在巴西圣保罗举行。 小学，中学， 高中和大学教师将代表团， 学前教育教师占教师总数的70%。 为了促进国际教师支持的发展， 会议上的网络，以及进一步传播知识 在巴西获得，选定的教师将同意进行一项 在会议上开展具体的信息收集活动。 每个老师 将选择一个这个国家的化学教育工作者关心的问题， 并通过在圣保罗的网络活动， 需要将其他国家解决这一问题的努力与 在美国的努力。 会议结束后，他们 预计将写一篇论文，讨论相关的方法， 选择问题并将本文提交给美国化学学会 以供审查。 其中七篇论文将被选中进行介绍 在ACS化学教育部的一次特别研讨会上， 1988年7月举行第十届两年期教育会议。

Much appears to be happening in science education throughout the world, much of which is quite successful and very worth sharing. This proposal would support the participation of approximately twenty chemical educators in the Ninth International Conference on Chemical Education, to be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 26-31 July l987. Elementary, middle, high school, and college teachers will be represented in the delegation, with the precollege teachers comprising 70% of the total. In order to facilitate the development of international teacher support networks at the conference, and the further dissemination of knowledge gained in Brazil, the teachers selected will agree to undertake a specific information-gathering activity at the conference. Each teacher will select an issue of concern to chemical educators in this country and, through network activities in Sao Paulo, collect the information needed to compare other countries' efforts to address this issue with efforts in the United States. On returning from the conference, they will be expected to write a paper discussing relevant approaches to the issue selected and submit this paper to the American Chemical Society for review. Seven of these papers will be selected for presentation during a special symposium at the ACS Division of Chemical Education's Tenth Biennial Education Conference to be held during July l988.
