PPD: SUCCEED-HI: Stimulating Understanding of Computational Science through Collaboration, Exploration, Experiment and Discovery for Hearing -Impaired students

听力障碍学生和他们的老师在技术创新方面，特别是在迅速崛起的计算科学领域(计算机建模和模拟)方面，面临着被甩在后面的重大危险。肖多尔教育基金会与北卡罗来纳大学格林斯伯勒分校(UNC-G)聋儿教育计划、北卡罗来纳中央聋校(CNCSD)、翻译公司和国家聋人技术学院(NTID)共同提出了一个示范项目，名为“项目SUCCESS-HI：通过合作、探索、实验和发现促进听力障碍学生对计算科学的理解”。Success-HI建立在现有Shodor Success项目的成功基础上，向初中生介绍计算科学的技术、技巧和工具。这个项目的目标是开发高质量的材料--案例研究、改进/丰富活动、补充实验室、独立小组研究项目、科学博览会想法、夏令营活动--所有这些都包括一个或多个计算组成部分。这些材料将使教师能够将计算科学整合到听力障碍学生的教学计划中。该项目将开发的产品包括：在科学、数学和社会科学中使用计算科学的等级和语言合适的材料；辅助材料，如计算科学的技术标志：总结试点测试结果的报告；以及继续研究中使用的评估工具。Shodor加入国家计算科学联盟将确保通过适当的国家教育社区广泛传播产品、途径、方法和“经验教训”。该项目的方法要求听障人士的职前教育工作者和资深教育工作者、计算科学家和手语专家合作，并在校内和课外的各种领域对材料和教学策略进行试点测试。Shodor将确保通过使用协作工具和电子网络协调和实现对材料开发、技术标志的收集、评估和记录、计算资源的获取和评估的持续支持，从而使这一进程发挥作用。该项目的主要影响将是让听力障碍学生和他们的老师有适当和真实的机会参加科学和数学活动。只有在有经验和敬业的科学家和教育工作者的共同努力下，才能开发出用于计算科学的课程和技术标志。Shodor及其合作伙伴处于独特的地位，在计算科学教育和听障人士教育方面拥有必要的专业知识，以确保这一材料开发工作的成功。当这些努力完成后，这些努力的结果将是听力障碍学生的教师能够有能力和自信地掌握计算科学的学习。

Students with hearing impairments and their teachers are in significant danger of being left behind with regard to technology innovations, especially in the rapidly emerging area of computational science (computer modeling and simulation). The Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNC-G) Education of Deaf Children program, The Central North Carolina School for the Deaf (CNCSD), Interpreters, Inc., and the National Technical Institute of the Deaf (NTID), proposes a demonstration project entitled "Project SUCCEED-HI: Stimulating Understanding of Computational Science through Collaboration, Exploration, Experiment and Discovery for Students with Hearing Impairments." SUCCEED-HI builds on the success of an existing Shodor SUCCEED program to introduce middle and high school students to the technologies, techniques, and tools of computational science. The goal of this project is to develop quality materials - case studies, enhancement/enrichment activities, supplemental labs, projects for independent group research, science fair ideas, summer camp activities -- that all include one or more of the computational components. These materials will enable teachers to integrate computational science into the instructional programs of students with hearing impairments. Products to be developed in the project include grade and language appropriate materials for the use of computational science in science, mathematics, and the social sciences; supporting materials, such as technical signs for computational science: a report summarizing the results of pilot testing; and evaluation tools for use in continuing studies. Shodor's participation in the National Computational Science Alliance will ensure widespread dissemination of products, approaches, methods, and "lessons learned" through the appropriate national educational communities. The project methodology calls for the collaboration of pre-service and veteran educators of the hearing- impaired, computational scientists, and sign language experts, and the pilot-testing of materials and teaching strategies in a variety of in-school and extracurricular arenas. Shodor will make the process work by ensuring that continuous support for materials development, the collection, evaluation, and recording of technical signs, access to computing resources, and evaluation are coordinated and enabled by using collaborative tools and electronic networks. The major impact of this project will be the appropriate and authentic access to science and mathematics activities for students with hearing-impairments and their teachers. The development of curricular and technical signs for use in computational science will occur only with a concerted effort on the part of experienced and dedicated scientists and educators. Shodor and its partners are uniquely positioned, with the necessary expertise in both computational science education and education of the hearing-impaired, to ensure the success of this materials development effort. When completed, the result of these efforts will be teachers of students with hearing impairments who can master the computational science learning with competence and confidence.
