Institute for Secondary Mathematics and Computer Science Education

这项为期3.5年的项目以一项针对学院和大学教师的成功项目为蓝本，旨在全面解决计算机和数学相互作用给高中教师和课程带来的挑战和机会。180名参与者中的大多数来自俄亥俄州北部，他们将参加两个为期六周的夏季课程，在这些课程中，他或她将专注于三个相关“分支”中的一个：计算机科学、数学和使用计算机教授数学。学年的活动将包括参与者的两次会议、项目工作人员访问他们的教室，以及在肯特州立大学举行的年度会议。评估将评估参与者的知识、技能和态度、教学策略、学校课程和学生成绩的变化。在该项目的第三年，将开始向其他州传播。肯特州立大学和俄亥俄州立大学在分担费用方面做出了贡献，数额相当于NSF奖励的28%。

Modeled on a successful program for college and university faculty, this 3.5-year project seeks to address in a comprehensive fashion the challenges and opportunities offered to high school teachers and curricula by the interplay of computers and mathematics. Each of the 180 participants, most of them from northern Ohio, will attend 2 six-week summer sessions in which he or she will focus on one of three related "strands": computer science, mathematics, and the use of computers to teach mathematics. Academic-year activities will include two meetings of the participants, visits by project staff to their classrooms, and an annual conference at Kent State University. The evaluation will assess changes in the participants' knowledge, skills, and attitudes, in their teaching strategies, in their schools' curricula, and in their students' achievement. During the third year of the project, dissemination to other states will begin. Kent State University and the State of Ohio are contributing in cost-sharing an amount that is equal to 28% of the NSF award.
