The Development of Interactive Video Case Studies to Coach Reflective Thinking in Preservice Elementary Science Teachers

这个为期三年的项目以开发互动视盘案例材料为中心，用于职前小学教师的准备工作。普渡大学的计划将与宾夕法尼亚州立大学联系起来，开发、实地测试和评估这些视频光盘。这些材料的目的是为了促进和发展基础科学教学，促进观念的转变。该项目将在大学的基础方法课上实施这些视盘案例材料。已经制定了一项广泛的评估和研究计划，以评估这些材料及其使用的有效性。超过450名学生(预科)将受到该项目的影响。

This three-year project centers around the development of interactive videodisc case materials for use in the preparation of preservice elementary teachers. The Purdue University program will link with the Pennsylvania State University to develop, field test, and evaluate these videodisc. The intent of these materials is foster and develop the teaching of elementary science for conceptual change. The project will implement these videodisc case materials in elementary methods classes at universities. An extensive evaluation and research plan is in place to assess the effectiveness of these materials and their use. Over 450 students (preservice) will be affected by the project.
