WWW-based Graduate Postcertification Teacher Training in Chemistry

9819377brooks这个为期三年的项目要求716,228美元，用于为已经获得科学认证的教师提供一系列九门研究生化学内容模块化课程的材料开发。这个项目主要针对的是那些刚教化学的教师。这些材料将集中在那些内容和教学主题上，这些内容和教学主题可能会让他们对他们目前所教授的课程中的化学和相关科学和数学内容有非常深刻的理解。教师知识评估是这些材料的核心，并将通过万维网发布。在提交回答后，教师将立即收到反馈——在计算机评分的情况下，详细的、计算机计算的辅导，以及将“手工”评分的回答的模型答案或关键。这些材料将通过传统的许可安排，在美国各地广泛提供给非合作学校。将建立一种低成本的服务，向美国各地参加学术课程的教师提供这些材料。所有的材料都将在WWW上公开。参与机构超过30家。该项目预计将为至少270名教师提供服务，每位教师将获得18个学分（270学时以上），以获得硕士学位。该项目预计将持续到2002年。

9819377BROOKSThis three year project requests $716,228 for the purpose of providing materials development for a series of nine graduate chemistry-content-oriented modular courses for already science-certified teachers. The project is aimed primarily at those teachers who are new to teaching chemistry. The materials will focus on those content and pedagogy topics likely to provide them with very deep understanding of chemistry and related science and mathematics content in the curricula they currently teach. Assessment of teacher knowledge serves as the core of these materials and will be delivered using the World Wide Web. Immediately upon submission of responses, teachers will receive feedback -- detailed, computer-calculated tutoring in the case of computer-graded responses, and model answers or keys for responses that are to be 'hand' graded. The materials will be made available widely throughout the US through traditional licensing arrangements to non-partner schools. A low cost service for delivering the materials to teachers enrolled in academic programs throughout the US will be established. All of the materials will be publicly available over the WWW. There are over 30 participating institutions. The project is expected to serve at least 270 teachers, each receiving 18 credit hours( over 270 hours) towards a masters degree. The project is expected to run through 2002.
