Issue-Oriented Science Teaching and Learning

这项建议提供了一个计划，以提高教师的内容、背景和教学策略，采用一种涉及问题导向的科学教与学项目的方法。在该项目期间，有四个教师增强股和四个内容增强股拟用于开发和测试。内容强化单元包括化学反应、教师毒理学、风险评估和交流以及有毒废物等主题。除了开发和测试单元外，领导力增强会议将于1991年、1992年和1993年夏天在劳伦斯科学馆举行。在31个月的时间里，该项目将为70名中学教师提供13天的直接教师发展和领导能力培训，并为35名与这些教师有关的教学领导人提供一周的领导能力培训。该项目的目标是开发一个有助于改变教师教授科学的方式的系统。该项目有以下目标：(1)开发、测试、修订、制作和传播一套以问题为导向的科学教师提升材料；(2)建立、测试和修订一个模式，鼓励项目培训的领导团队在当地地区开展与项目目标有关的实质性教师培训活动；(3)通过吸引大量公共和私营部门资金，帮助支持和扩大项目的影响。费用分摊相当于NSF奖励的20%。//

This proposal offers a plan to enhance teacher content background and teaching strategy using an approach involving issues oriented science teaching and learning project. There are four teacher enhancement units and four content enhancement units proposed for development and testing during the project. The content enhancement units consist of topics such as, chemical reactions, toxicology for teachers, risk assessment and communication, and toxic waste. In addition to the development and testing units, Leadership Enhancement Conferences will be held at the Lawrence Hall of Science during the summers of 1991, 1992, and 1993. Over a period of 31 months the project will provide 13 days of direct teacher development and leadership training to 70 middle school teachers and one week of leadership training to 35 instructional leaders associated with those teachers. The goal of the project is to develop a system that can contribute to changing the way teachers teach science. The project has the following objectives: (1) Develop, test, revise, produce, and disseminate a set of issue-oriented science teacher enhancement materials; (2) Establish, test, and revise a model that encourages leadership teams trained by the project to carry out substantive teacher enhancement activities related to the project's goals in their local districts; and (3) Help support and expand the impact of the project by attracting significant public and private sector funding. Cost sharing is equivalent to 20% of the NSF award.//
