Project ICAN: Inquiry, Context and Nature of Science

9911734LEDERMAN这项提案由俄勒冈州立大学赞助，将在中学科学领域开展一项为期五年的领导力计划，在该计划的整个生命周期内，将影响400名教师，其中大部分是俄勒冈州农村的学校教师。在为期三周的暑期计划中，项目工作人员将向参与教师传授教学知识，指导教师进行当前的研究项目，练习在课堂上使用探究的技术，演示在课堂上使用技术支持科学探究的技术，并与教师合作开发适当的教学方法。在学年期间，教师将得到项目工作人员的支持，帮助他们实施该计划，并帮助他们与同事合作。每年将从参与者中挑选一名被指定为指导教师的教师干部，在活动期间与项目中的其他教师一起工作。因此，到项目结束时，相当数量的讲习班教师将拥有丰富的指导经验。参与该项目的所有教师将在学校得到支持，因为他们在课堂上实施探究技术。

9911734LEDERMANThis proposal, sponsored by Oregon State University, will carry out a five-year leadership program in secondary science which, over the life of the project, will impact 400 teachers, mostly in schools in rural Oregon. In a three-week summer program the project staff will teach participating teachers content knowledge, supervise teachers in current research projects, practice techniques for using inquiry in the classroom, demonstrate techniques of using technology in the classroom in support of science inquiry and work with teachers to develop appropriate pedagogy. During the academic year the teachers will receive support from project staff to help them implement the program and to help them work with colleagues. Each year a cadre of teachers, designated as mentor teachers, will be selected from the participants to work with other teachers in the project for the duration of the activities. Thus, by the end of the project a substantial number of the workshop teachers will have significant mentoring experience. All teachers in the project will be supported in the schools as they implement inquiry techniques in their classrooms.
