"Basic Biological Concepts: What Should the World's Children Know?" 1992 Symposium of the Commission for Biological Education, IUBS

这个项目是一个为期一年的计划，目的是在国际生物科学联合会生物教育委员会的一次会议上，举办一次题为“基本生物学概念：世界儿童应该知道什么？”的会议。会议将于1992年9月在科罗拉多州的科罗拉多州斯普林斯举行。与会者将包括委员会成员、美国科学教育领导人和特邀科学/生物教师。在会议之前，委员会成员将准备文件，描述他们国家已经通过的生物和生命科学标准。他们将从本国的角度定义学生应该知道和能够做什么(K-12)，并描述这些目标正在实现的程度。这次会议将提供一个独特的机会，从世界范围内探索生物课程的基本要素，并将加强国家研究理事会的国家科学教育标准和评估委员会的工作。研讨会的会议记录将被开发、出版和分发。费用分摊相当于NSF奖励的23.9%。

This project is a one year program to conduct a conference entitled "Basic Biological Concepts: What Should the World's Children Know?", in association with a meeting of The Commission for Biological Education of the International Union of Biological Sciences. The meeting will be held in Colorado Springs, Colorado during September, 1992. Participants will include Commission members, U.S. leaders in science education and invited science\biology teachers. Previous to the conference, Commission members will prepare papers describing standards for biology\life sciences that have been adopted in their countries. They will define, from their country's perspective, what students should know and be able to do (K-12) and describe the extent to which these goals are being attained. This meeting will provide a unique opportunity to explore the essential elements of biology curriculum from a world-wide perspective and will augment the work of the National Research Council's National Committee on Science Education Standards and Assessment. Proceedings of the symposium will be developed, published, and distributed. Cost sharing equals 23.9% of the NSF award.
