Planning Support for the College General Chemistry Task Force

由美国化学学会化学教育部任命的普通化学课程特别工作组正在研究普通化学教学改革的三个途径：1.以实验室为基础的修订，即首先在实验室引入新的化学课题。2.一种学科领域方法，它根据一个人需要了解的化学知识来选择普通化学的内容和方法，以掌握具有社会意义的物质和过程。3.模块化方法，教授不可还原的核心，并用为学生受众定制的连贯材料补充这一核心。特别工作组将就替代普通化学课程提出建议，通过公开介绍和出版物制作和宣传新材料，提供经过测试的教学材料，并就如何实施新课程举办讲习班。这一拟议项目的目的是在国家科学会议上举行两次专题讨论会，并在1991年夏季举办一次有整个工作队参加的讲习班，该讲习班将编写一份头两年的成绩报告。

The Task Force on the general chemistry curriculum appointed by the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society is considering three approaches to the reform of general chemistry instruction: 1. Laboratory-based revisions in which new topics in chemistry would first be introduced in the laboratory. 2. A subject area approach that selects the content and method of general chemistry on the basis of the chemistry one needs to know to grasp socially significant substances and processes. 3. A modular approach that teaches an irreducible core and supplements that with coherent material that is customized for the student audience. The Task Force will make recommendations on alternative general chemistry curricula, produce and publicize new materials through public presentations and publications, provide tested instructional materials, and conduct workshops on how to implement new curricula. The aims of this proposed project are to carry on two symposia at national scientific meetings and to hold a summer 1991 workshop involving the whole Task Force that will produce a report of accomplishments of the first two years.
