Support For 27th IGC Enhancement Programs

该项目将使来自主要本科院校的30名中学教师、15名研究生和15名教职员工能够参加第27届国际地理大会。主要国会将于1992年8月9日至14日在华盛顿特区举行。参与者支持将使教师能够参加主大会，并在主大会之前或之后立即参加全美各地的科学实地研讨会。国会将举行一次关于美国地理教育的特别会议。届时将印制一套14卷的旅游指南。这些资料将对参加实地研讨会的人很有用，并可作为加强地理教学的教材。大会结束后，与会者将成为政府间理事会委员会的成员，组成一个分享资源和教学想法的网络，领导同行讲习班，并编写一份报告，以便在1993年提交给美国全国委员会/政府间理事会。这个项目的私家侦探是安东尼·德·索萨博士。费用分摊将超过NSF奖励的20%。

This project will enable 30 secondary teachers, 15 graduate students and 15 faculty from primarily undergraduate institutions to participate in the 27th International Geographical Congress. The main Congress will be held in Washington, D.C., August 9-14, 1992. Participant support will enable teachers to attend the main Congress plus participate in scientific field seminars around the United States immediately before or immediately after the main Congress. The Congress will have a special session on U.S. Geographical Education. A 14-volume set of guidebooks will be produced. These will be useful to participants in the field seminars and as instructional materials to enhance the teaching of geography. Following the Congress, participants will become members of an IGU Commission, form a network to share resources and teaching ideas, lead peer workshops and prepare a report in 1993 for submission to the USNC/IGU. The PI for this project is Dr. Anthony de Souza. Cost sharing will exceed 20% of the NSF award.
