An International Education Project Related to the IGBP Global Change Project

该项目创建了一套原型的过程和产品， 国际课程开发团队与 国际地圈生物圈计划的研究科学家 国际科学联合会理事会（科联理事会）的国际地圈生物圈方案（IGBP）。 这 是一个高度优先的研究领域，在教学和学习，科学 美国国家科学基金会、其他美国组织、 和其他国家的IGBP研究提供了前所未有的 有机会了解科学教育。 该项目是紧迫的， 由于创造了一个特殊的机会， 由ICSU。 ICSU启动了一个科学教育项目， 将翻译IGBP科学家的研究成果并传播 用于世界各地的教育系统。 来自美国的开发者 和英国将起草第一个原型教学模块， 1990年举办讲习班，作为两年形成发展进程的一部分。 该项目利用这一机会来积累知识， 为这种合作建立基础设施的经验 在科学和教育界。 该项目不会 不仅创建和测试原型学习材料，而且还记录密钥 参与这一进程的因素，如科学家在 项目、激励措施和机制， 以及科学家和教育家在国际上合作的障碍， 多国测试和改编学习材料、机制 教师和学生参与科学研究过程。

The project creates a prototype set of processes and products for an international team of curriculum developers to work collaboratively with research scientists in the International Geosphere Biosphere Project (IGBP) of the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). This is a high priority area for research in teaching and learning, science the large investment being made by the NSF, other U.S. organizations, and other countries in IGBP research provides an unprecedented opportunity to inform science education. The project is urgent with regard to availability of data because of a special opportunity created by the ICSU. The ICSU has initiated a science education project that will translate research findings of IGBP scientists and disseminate them for use in the education systems of the world. Developers from the U.S. and U.K. will draft the first prototype instructional modules in a workshop in 1990, as part of a two-year formative development process. The project takes advantage of this opportunity to build knowledge and experience that will establish infrastructure for such collaborations among the scientific and educational communities. The project will not only create and test prototype learning materials, but also document key factors involved in the process, such as roles of scientists in the project, incentives and mechanisms for their involvement, opportunities and obstacles to scientist-educator collaboration internationally, multi-country testing and adaptation of learning materials, mechanisms for teacher and student involvement in scientific research processes.
