A Comprehensive Strategy for Integrating Computers in the Undergraduate Sociology Curriculum

该项目的重点是使用微型计算机和有关的 设备在一个三阶段的课程计划的扩展 在社会学中，它解决了非 传统的本科生，其中许多是妇女。 第一阶段是为大型入门课程设计的， 采用Microcase/Showcase Presentational软件， 以讲座形式展示实际研究，从而使 我们将介绍性讲座与未来的实践联系起来， 实验室经验 在第二阶段，我们将解决问题 数学和计算机恐惧症的小组项目， 用于定量分析的简化软件。 到第三阶段， 学生们会有重复的摆姿势的经历 社会学的问题，并把数据对他们的影响。 在 在这一阶段，学生将整合不同的元素， 他们的课程形成了一个连贯而成熟的概念， 社会学通过他们的高级项目。

The project focuses on the use of microcomputers and related equipment in the expansion of a three-phase curricular program in sociology, that addresses the special needs of non- traditional undergraduate students many of whom are women. Phase I is designed for the large introductory course, and employs Microcase/Showcase Presentational software to demonstrate actual research in a lecture format thus enabling us to link the introductory lectures to future hands-on laboratory experience. In Phase II, we will address problems of math and computer phobia with group projects using simplified software for quantitative analysis. By Phase III, students will have had repeated experiences in posing sociological questions and bringing data to bear on them. In this phase, students will integrate the diverse elements of their course work into a coherent and mature conception of sociology through their senior projects.
