SSC: "Science Horizons: The Bentley College Science-Math Summer Camp"

SSC-9450484 Bentley College Waltham，MA Wallace，Robert and Richard Freese “科学视野：本特利学院科学数学夏令营” 本特利提出了一个为期四周的星期一至星期五的暑期住宿计划，学年后续行动，为女孩从代表不足的少数群体，进入第七，第八和第九年级。 这项计划将于1994年7月5日至29日实施，为期3年。 大约10人将从每所优秀学校中选出（波士顿3人，剑桥2人）。 学校的选择将使50名女孩代表一些少数群体（将是非洲裔美国人、拉丁裔、海地人和东南亚人）和各种能力（将参加非磁铁和磁铁学校等）。 选择的主要标准将是对科学/数学的动机和兴趣以及对该计划性质的清晰理解。 重点将放在整个计划的影响因素的兴趣和成功的科学/数学的学生不仅作为代表性不足的少数民族，而且作为女性。 课程的一个核心组成部分将根据1993年夏天在本特利为15名主要是少数民族女孩提供的为期三周的试验课程。 该方案采用的课程将适龄数学与化学实验室实验结合起来，利用（1）团队合作和合作学习方式，（2）特别是女孩熟悉的材料和问题。

SSC-9450484 Bentley College Waltham, MA Wallace, Robert and Richard Frese "Science Horizons: The Bentley College Science-Math Summer Camp" Bentley proposes a four-week Monday-Friday residential summer program with academic year follow-up, for girls from under- represented minority groups, entering the 7th, 8th and 9th grades. The program will run for three years beginning July 5-29, 1994. Approximately 10 will be selected from each of fine schools (3 in Boston, 2 in Cambridge). Schools will be selected such that the 50 girls will represent a number minority groups (will be African- American, Latina, Haitian, and Southeast-Asian in origin) and a variety of abilities (will attend non-magnet and magnet schools, etc.) The major criterion for selection will be on motivation and interest in science/math and a clear understanding of the nature of the program. Emphasis will be placed throughout the program on factors affecting interest and success in science/math of the students not only as under represented minorities, but also as females. A core component of the curriculum will be based upon a three-week pilot offered at Bentley in the summer of 1993 for 15 predominantly minority girls. This program utilized a curriculum, in which age-appropriate mathematics were integrated with chemistry laboratory experiments utilizing (1) team work and cooperative learning styles and (2) material and problems familiar to girls in particular.
