Enlist Micros: Phase III -- Models for Replicating a Teacher-Enhancement Project

在这个项目中，生物科学课程研究 （BSCS）正在复制ENLIST Micros--一种实施模式 以及帮助科学教师使用 微型计算机 这个为期42个月的项目有两个目的：1） 开发和评估三种模式，以复制教师- 增强计划，以及2）在 在全国各地的网站。 该项目使用两种模型来复制ENLIST Micros：1）a 培训员培训员模式和传播模式。 超过 三年来，12个地点参加了培训员培训员 型号（型号1）并使用ENLIST Micros与750 science 教师 BSCS的工作人员也会咨询12岁以下的人， 帮助另外750名科学教师实施 教育计算（模型2）。 最后，传播 研讨会（模式3）向另外100个国家介绍了ENLIST Micros 这些人可能与2,000名科学教师一起工作。 因此，该项目正在建立区域网站， 在没有外部支持的情况下继续ENLIST Micros。 这些网站 将使微型计算机的使用率提高3000多 科学教师 此外，我们正在确定成本 这两种模式的有效性，以传播教师- 增强项目。 金额相当于NSF奖项的近193% 作为费用分摊。

In this project, the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) is replicating ENLIST Micros--an implementation model and curriculum that helps science teachers use microcomputers. This 42-month project has two purposes: 1) to develop and evaluate three models to replicate teacher- enhancement programs, and 2) to establish ENLIST Micros at sites throughout the nation. The project uses two models to replicate ENLIST Micros: 1) a trainer-of-trainers model, and a dissemination model. Over three years, 12 sites participated in the trainer-of-trainers model (model 1) and use ENLIST Micros with 750 science teachers. The BSCS staff also consults with people at 12 sites to help another 750 science teachers implement educational computing (model 2). Lastly, dissemination workshops (model 3) present ENLIST Micros to another 100 people, who may work with 2,000 science teachers. As a result, the project is establishing regional sites that continue ENLIST Micros without outside support. Those sites are to improve the use of microcomputers by more than 3,000 science teachers. Furthermore, we are determining the cost effectiveness of the two models for disseminating teacher- enhancement projects. An amount equivalent to nearly 193% of the NSF award is being contributed as cost-sharing.
