A Computer-Supported Environment for Learning Science Concepts

该系正在开发一种科学辅导网络教室(SMNC)，它将最先进的教学技术与辅导教学法相结合，以创造可以说是全国最有效的科学学习环境。这个设施将真实世界的现象带入讲座和实验室环境。这一进程是通过联网的计算机加强讨论和交流思想的能力来实现的。SMNC致力于一套特定的科学课程，正在影响着每一名学生。它可能不仅在这里，而且在采用这种独特的教学方法的高中、学院和大学，可能会彻底改变人们学习科学的方式。*

This department is developing a Science Mentoring Networked Classroom (SMNC) that combines state-of-the-art instructional technology with a mentoring pedagogy to create what is arguably the most effective science learning environment in the Nation. This facility brings real-world phenomena into lecture and laboratory settings. This process is implemented by the ability of the networked computers to enhance discussion and the sharing of ideas. The SMNC, devoted to a specific suite of science courses, is affecting every student. It could potentially revolutionize the way science is learned not only here, but at the high schools, colleges, and universities that adopt this unique approach to teaching. *
