Workshop to Enhance Computing Faculty at Two-Year Colleges Serving Native Americans

9353963 Klee提议的研讨会的目的是提高在一所为美洲原住民服务的两年制大学计算机科学领域教学的教师的背景和能力。这一目的是通过为期五天的讲习班和涉及20名教员的后续活动来实现的。参赛者应两人一组申请，一个机构两名，或两个相邻机构各一名。在研讨会期间，与会者将了解最新的计算科学主题和方法，这些主题和方法可以在副学士学位课程中提供，正如计算机协会（ACM）最近完成的两年制大学计算课程建议所确定的那样。通过参与基于报告内容的小组活动，参与者开发诸如特定内容领域的实施策略，教育材料，将主题结合到课程中的方法，以及项目或实验室练习等项目。参加者透过与业界代表的接触，了解电脑科学副学士毕业生目前的就业机会和问题。工作坊活动结束后，每对参加者须在本地跟进举办小型工作坊，以传播工作坊所获得的资料和知识。这些后续活动为参与者提供了与同一机构或邻近机构的同事进行面对面交流的手段。该项目的结果将由参与者在期刊文章和会议报告中提出。* * *

9353963 Klee The purpose of the proposed workshop is to enhance the background and ability of faculty members teaching within the area of computing sciences at a two-year college which serves Native Americans. This purpose is achieved through a five-day workshop and follow-up activities involving twenty faculty members. Participants are urged to apply in pairs, two from one institution or one from each of two neighboring institutions. During the workshop, the participants are brought up to date on the computing sciences topics and methodologies that can be offered in associate-degree programs, as identified in the recently-completed two-year college computing curricula recommendations of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). By engaging in small group activities based on the report's contents, participants develop items such as implementation strategies for specific content areas, educational materials, ways of combining topics into courses, and project or laboratory exercises. Through contact with industry representatives, participants are informed about current employment opportunities and issues for graduates with an associate degree in the computing sciences. Upon completion of the workshop activities, each participant-pair is required to conduct a local follow-up mini-workshop to disseminate materials and knowledge gained from the workshop. These follow-up activities provide means for participants to interact with colleagues in the same or neighboring institutions on a person-to-person basis. The results of the project will be presented by the participants in journal articles and conference presentations. ***
