Project Inclusion

项目纳入的总体目标是提供适当的材料和策略来处理学生的多样性。项目产品将是一系列资源材料和实施过程，支持教师将学生的注意力集中在妇女和少数民族的化学贡献上。所有的专题材料都与导论/普通化学中的典型主题相联系。资源材料正在由一组外部教员和一组暑期研讨会项目的教员参与者进行审查，并通过一些感兴趣的教员进行广泛的实地测试。暑期工作坊为教师提供了一个学习如何准备项目材料并将其融入课堂的机会。项目纳入正在通过在化学会议上的演讲、通过向综合邮件列表发布的公告和通过期刊文章来宣传。该项目的前期工作支持了这样一种信念，即使用项目包含材料和策略会提高学生的兴趣，并在他们的化学课堂上取得成功。评估主要集中在通过使用CBAM(基于关注的采用模型)来测量教职员工和学生的态度变化。该项目的潜在影响是巨大的，因为它的受众是全国每一个较低级别的大学化学班。

The overall goal of Project Inclusion is to provide appropriate materials and strategies to deal with student diversity. The Project products will be a series of resource materials and an implementation process that supports faculty in focusing students' attention on the chemical contributions of women and minorities. All Project materials are connected to the typical topics presented in introductory/general chemistry. The resource materials are undergoing review by a set of external faculty members and a group of faculty participants from a summer workshop program, as well as through extensive field-testing by a number of interested faculty. Summer workshops provide faculty with an opportunity to learn how to prepare and integrate Project materials into their classes. Project Inclusion is being publicized in presentations at chemistry conferences, by announcements to a comprehensive mailing list and through journal articles. Preliminary work in the Project supports the belief that use of Project Inclusion materials and strategies results in greater student interest and success in their chemistry classes. Evaluation is primarily focused on measuring attitude changes in faculty and students through use of CBAM (Concerns Based Adoption Model). The potential impact of the Project is tremendous as its audience is every lower division college chemistry class in the nation.
