U.S.-Singapore Science Educators Workshop

一个由大学和高中科学教育工作者组成的美国小组将于2007年8月与新加坡的同行召开一次研讨会，探讨探究式科学教学的教学方法。除了对所采用的教学方法、学习成果和各国科学教育工作者面临的挑战有更多的了解外。 讲习班的其他目标包括：巩固由美国和新加坡科学教育工作者组成的网络，为美国研究人员和高中科学教育工作者提供在新加坡最好的高中之一亲身体验科学教育的机会，为美国和新加坡的高中生开展合作研究项目奠定基础，并为乔治华盛顿大学（GWU）的研究人员开展的基于探究的科学教学和学习的长期研究项目提供基础。 2007年8月的研讨会将由华中研究所（HCI）主办？这是新加坡最好的高中，录取了新加坡所有学生中前3%的学生。美国研讨会的参与者将包括来自GWU教育和人类发展研究生院的研究人员和来自Loudoun县公立学校科学院（AOS）的教师。

A U.S. team of university and high school science educators is to convene a workshop in August 2007, with counterparts in Singapore to explore instructional approaches to the teaching and learning of inquiry-based science. In addition to increased understanding of adopted teaching methods, learning outcomes and the challenges science educators face in each country. Additional goals of the workshop include: solidifying a network consisting of U.S. and Singaporean science educators, providing U.S. researchers and high school science educators the opportunity to experience first-hand and gain insights into science education at one of Singapore's premier high schools, establishing the ground-work for collaborative research projects to be undertaken by high school students in the United States and Singapore, and providing the foundation for a longer-term research project on inquiry-based science teaching and learning undertaken by researchers at the George Washington University (GWU). The August 2007, workshop will be hosted by the Hwa Chong Institution (HCI)?the premier Singaporean high school which accepts the top three percent of all students in Singapore. The U.S. workshop participants will include researchers from GWU's Graduate School of Education and Human Development and faculty from the Loudoun County Public Schools Academy of Science (AOS).
