TTECCS: Transforming Technical Education With A Classroom Communication System

[453881]杰拉斯正在开发一种课堂交流系统，作为促进更具活力和建构主义的课堂环境的催化剂。学生不仅会参与合作学习活动，还会向教师传达他们的理解，从而使教师能够响应学生的具体教学需求。该项目由马萨诸塞大学阿默斯特地区高中的科学和数学教师、马萨诸塞大学科学推理研究所的教育研究人员和课程开发人员以及Better education Incorporated的教育技术人员合作完成。该项目主要侧重于适合高中或大学一年课程的主题。将开发完整的系统，包括硬件、文档化软件和课程材料。还将开发数学和化学方面的范例材料。该项目的一个主要方面也是评价课堂交流系统作为一种教学方法的相对有效性。

9453881 Gerace A classroom communication system is being developed as a catalyst for promoting a more dynamic and constructivist classroom environment. Students will not only engage in cooperative learning activities, but also communicate their understanding to the instructor, thereby permitting the instructor to respond to students' specific instructional needs. The project is a collaborative among science and mathematics instructors at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst Regional High School, educational researchers and curriculum developers at the UMASS Scientific Reasoning Research Institute, and educational technologists at Better education Incorporated. The project focuses primarily on the subject matter appropriate for a one year course at the high school or college level. The complete system will be developed, consisting of hardware, documented software, and curriculum materials. Exemplar materials will also be developed in mathematics and chemistry. A primary aspect of the project is also evaluation of the comparative effectiveness of the classroom communication system as an instructional approach.
