Development of Teacher Competence in Classroom Use of Scientific Data Sets

为了在教育中增加技术和实际数据的使用，该项目将利用计算机和CD- ROM技术将NASA、NOAA和USGS在联合教育倡议（JEdI）项目中开发的科学数据和课程材料带入课堂。这些材料的使用将使教师和学生能够研究他们自己关于全球和天文现象的问题。帮助开发CD-ROM光盘的科学家、大学教员和工业人员将担任导师，协助教师获取和使用政府数据及其教学应用。在1992年9月1日至1995年8月31日为期三年的项目中，来自全国各地的225名教师将接受培训。培训将在马里兰大学（学院公园）和西华盛顿大学进行。另外660名教师将接受领班教师的培训，使参与项目的教师总数达到885人。大约有27%的费用分摊。

In an effort to increase both the use of technology and actual data in education, this project will utilize computers and CD- ROM technology to bring scientific data and curriculum material developed by NASA, NOAA, and USGS in the Joint Education Initiative (JEdI) Project into the classroom. The use of these materials will allow teachers and students to investigate their own questions relating to global and astronomical phenomena. Scientists that help develop the CD-ROM discs, university faculty, and industry personnel will serve as mentors assisting teachers on the access and use of government data and in its instructional application. Two hundred and twenty- five teachers from around the country will be trained during the three year project which runs from September 1, 1992 through August 31, 1995. Training will occur at the University of Maryland (College Park) and Western Washington University. Another 660 teachers will receive training from lead teachers, increasing the total number of teachers reached in the project to 885. There will be an approximate cost share of 27%.
