"ZOOM!" ( A Planning Grant)

摘要：ZOOM！是艾美奖获奖电视剧，适合8到11岁的孩子，在20世纪70年代在PBS播出了6年。制作该系列的WGBH希望更新该系列并制作新的节目在全国播出。这项规划拨款将使WGBH能够将数学和科学教育规划作为该站即将进入的试点阶段的一个组成部分。在NSF的支持下进行的具体活动包括：△举办科学和数学的头脑风暴讨论会△增加数学、科学和基础教育方面的专家，改组系列咨询委员会△聘请科学和数学的内容主管△与合作伙伴协商如何将系列的影响扩大到电视观众之外△完善科学和数学的目标△开发将科学和数学融入节目的方法。o制作样本数学/科学片段，使用不同的方法测试样本片段的受众效果。

WGBH, where the series was produced, is hoping to update the series and produce new programs for national broadcast. This planning grant will enable WGBH to make planning for math and science education an integral part of the piloting phase the station is about to enter. Specific activities to be conducted with the NSF support include such things as: o Holding a series of science and math brainstorming sessions, o Revamping the series advisory committee by adding more people with expertise in math, science, and elementary education, o Hiring a science and mathematics content director, o Consulting with outreach partners to develop ways to extend the series' impact beyond the television audience, o Refining the science and mathematics goals, o Developing methods to integrate science and math into the programs, o Producing sample math/science segments, using different approaches o Testing the sample segments for audience effectiveness.
