Faculty Training in Learning Through Modeling and Cooperation

该项目的重点是建模（构建数学模型） 和计算机模型，以获得对现象的理解）， 利用合作学习小组， 加强学生的努力。 讲习班参加者 将准备在本报告中列入一个关于建模的单元， 科学/数学课程和/或开发建模课程， 他们的节目。为期一周的夏季培训将使 教师在建模和工作的背景和实践 在合作关系中，带他们通过模块， 将作为他们教学的指导，让他们发展更多 将该模块转化为 他们的设置，并在团队内部和团队之间建立网络 和跨团队。 后续行动将包括电子公告 委员会的信息交流，该中心的通讯， 项目工作人员来访，提供反馈和帮助。

This project focusses on modeling (constructing mathematical and computer models to gain understanding of phenomena) as the subject matter with the use of cooperative learning groups to enhance the efforts of students. Participants in the workshop will be prepared to include a module on modeling in present science/math courses and/or to develop a course on modeling for their program. The one-week summer training will give instructors a background and practice in modeling and working in cooperative relationships, take them through the module they would use as a guide for their teaching, have them develop more specific examples and lessons for translating the module into their setting, and build networking within and across teams and across teams. Follow-up will include electronic bulletin board exchange of information, a newsletter from the Center and visits from project staff to provide feedback and assistance.
