The Greater Chicago Consortium for Chemistry Reform

芝加哥州立大学（CSU）、威廉·雷尼·哈珀学院（HC）和伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校（UIC）的化学系教员将加入一个联盟，共同创建、分享和评估化学及相关领域的课程改革。他们的努力建立在为课程改革目的已经建立的网络的基础上。这个新的联盟将创造多种多样的、多方面的、经过充分测试的方案，供同行机构实施。每个机构负责独立编写一个或多个综合课程，这些课程将在他们的校园实施，然后在其他联盟成员的校园实施。科罗拉多州立大学的教师最初将专注于一个为期两年的物理科学和数学相结合的项目。HC的教师将首先专注于为期两年的物理科学和数学相结合的课程。HC教师将讲授一般和有机序列以及非专业课程。UIC的教师将从事与入门化学、工程师化学和高年级课程相关的项目。这些人员还将从项目一开始就在两个校际项目上进行合作，即数据项目和化学挂钩，旨在创建一套通用的材料，将研究和生活相关的例子引入化学课程。该联盟还将主办一次关于科学教育问题的年度研讨会。* * * y

9450684 Wink The faculty in the department of chemistry at Chicago State University (CSU), William Rainey Harper College (HC) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) will join in a consortium to create, share, and evaluate curriculum changes in chemistry and related areas. Their efforts build upon networks already established for the purposes of curriculum reform. This new Consortium will create versatile, multi-faceted, and well-tested options for implementation at peer institutions. Each institution is responsible for the independent generation of one or more comprehensive curricula that will be implemented on their campus and later on the campus of one of the other Consortia members. CSU faculty will initially focus on a two-year combined physical sciences and mathematics program. HC faculty will initially focus on a two-year combined physical sciences and mathematics program. HC faculty will address both the general and organic sequences and non-major courses. UIC faculty will work on projects related to introductory chemistry, chemistry for engineers, and upper division courses. The personnel will also collaborate from the inception of the program on two inter-campus projects, The Data Project and The Chemistry Hook, designed to create a general set of materials to introduce research and life-related examples into chemistry courses. An annual symposium on science education issues will also be sponsored by the Consortium. ***y
