The Effective Use of Web-Based Scientific Resources in Teaching & Teacher Training: A Collaborative Pilot Program Using Real Data Sets to Explore Oceanography & Globa

通过万维网获得真实的科学数据，为教育工作者以真实和引人入胜的方式教授科学提供了独特的机会。这个项目正在探索教育工作者如何在课程开发和教学中最有效地利用通过万维网提供的科学资源。该项目将百慕大生物研究站（BBSR）的科学家和数据与佛罗里达国际大学（FIU）教育学院的未来科学教师联系起来。这个链接是通过一个由探索学院（TCOE）运营的现有虚拟校园进行中介的。内容强调全球环境变化，因为它与BBSR的百慕大大西洋时间序列研究（BATS）的海洋学数据有关。由此产生的学习环境为高少数民族地区的未来科学教师提供了使用基于网络的数据集进行基于探究的学习的机会。目标是帮助未来的教师获得设计额外的网络课程所需的技能，以供6至12年级的教室使用。在此课程中开发的课程将通过网络数据库与各地的教师共享。该项目还通过确定使远程学习环境有效所需的组件、教学方法、人员和技术，记录了创建网络学习环境的最有效设计过程。

The availability of real scientific data via the World Wide Web (WWW) affords a unique opportunity for educators to teach science in authentic and engaging ways. This project is exploring ways in which educators can most effectively use the scientific resources available via the World Wide Web in their curriculum development and teaching. The project is linking scientists and data at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research (BBSR) with prospective science teachers in the College of Education at Florida International University (FIU). This link is mediated via an existing virtual campus operated by the College of Exploration (TCOE). The content emphasizes global environmental change as it relates to the oceanographic data in BBSR's Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS). The resulting learning environment provides opportunities for prospective science teachers in a high-minority area to use web-based data sets to conduct inquiry-based learning. The objective is to help prospective teachers gain the skills needed to design additional web-based curricula for use in grades 6 to 12 classrooms. Curricula developed during this course will be shared with teachers everywhere through a web database. The project is also documenting the most effective design process for creating a web-enabled learning environment by identifying the components, pedagogies, personnel, and technologies needed to make the distance-learning environment effective.
