1995 Gordon Research Conference on the Impact of New Technologies on Science Education; IRSEE, Germany; September 25-30, 1994

该奖项支持20名美国科学家和科学教育工作者参加将在欧洲举行的第一届戈登科学教育会议。主题是新技术对科学教育的影响，特别涉及概念和分子结构的可视化。这次会议是由德克萨斯农工大学的约翰·法克勒教授和奥地利林茨的格哈德·波尔教授共同组织的。会议将于1994年9月下旬在德国爱尔兰的斯瓦本会议中心举行，欧洲与会者的人数将大大超过美国与会者。会议程序是按照非常成功的戈登研究会议程序组织的。这包括将科研科学家和教育工作者聚集在一起，在一种有利于科研科学家和教育工作者之间建立合资企业的氛围中，对科学教育中的各种举措进行批判性审查。在世界范围内分享思想对科学教育和科学研究同样重要。美国并没有垄断有效的方法。选择在欧洲举行会议的具体目的是向美国与会者介绍欧洲科学教育者正在采用的各种新颖方法。美国的参与者有望获得许多新的接触和想法，以加强美国的科学教育项目

9412485 Fackler This award supports the participation of twenty U.S. scientists and science educators in the first Gordon Conference on Science Education to be held in Europe. The subject is the impact of new technologies on science education, with particular reference to the visualization of concepts and molecular structures. The meeting is co-organized by Professors John Fackler of Texas A & M University and W. Gerhard Pohl of Linz, Austria. It will take place in late September, 1994, at the Swabian Conference Center in Irsee, Germany, with European participants significantly outnumbering American participants. The conference program was organized along the very successful Gordon Research Conference procedures. This includes bringing together research scientists and educators for critical examination of various initiatives in science education, in an atmosphere that is conducive to generating joint ventures between research scientists and educators. Sharing of ideas world wide is as important in science education as it is in scientific research. The U.S. has no monopoly on effective methodologies. The European site of the meeting was chosen with the specific objective of introducing U.S. participants to the variety of novel approaches being taken by European science educators. The U.S. participants are expected to gain many new contacts and ideas for strengthening programs in science education in the U.S. ***
