Effective Access: Using Digital Libraries to Enhance High School Teaching in STEM

这一NSDL目标研究项目正在研究中学科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教师在寻找和选择优质材料并根据课堂学习环境进行定制时如何使用网络数字资源。感兴趣的领域包括：确定数字资源用于备课和将材料直接纳入学生项目的特征；以及调查使教师能够将数字图书馆资源整合到一般课堂环境中的软件工具、课程模板和支持的类型。调查、访谈和观察相结合，结果为确定面向广大中学STEM教师的具体服务和工具提供了一个总体框架。

This NSDL Targeted Research project is studying the use of networked digital resources by secondary school science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teachers as they seek and select quality materials and tailor them to fit the learning environment of their classroom. Areas of interest include:characterizing the use of digital resources for preparing lessons and for incorporating materials directly into student projects; and investigating types of software tools, lesson templates, and support that enable teachers to integrate digital library resources into general classroom settings. A combination of surveys, interviews, and observations are being employed, and the results are informing a general framework for the identification of specific services and tools for the broad audience of secondary school STEM teachers.
