Type 1: Using Instructional Design Techniques to Create Distance CS Education to Support In-Service Teachers

格鲁吉亚研究公司提出创建一个新的远程学习媒体的计算教育，特别是在职高中教师的基础上，从教学设计和教育心理学的想法。 在职的高中教师时间特别紧张（因此需要效率），他们比其他学生更有元认知意识（因此能够更好地为项目设计提供信息）。新媒体将结合联合收割机多种形式，工作的例子，和结构的基础上认知模型的设计师的知识。本研究的问题是：（1）教师是否会在网络环境中学习到CS知识？(2)教师们在编程活动中会更有效率吗？ （3）教师是否会觉得教材有用和满意？由于其重点是教师，该项目可能会产生广泛的影响，特别是对CS 10 K项目中设想的培训10 000名教师的战略。该项目将建立模型和设计指南，可用于创建其他学习材料，包括学生材料，例如，在拟议的新的CS原则AP课程。

The Georgia Research Corporation proposes to create a new distance-learning medium for computing education especially for in-service high school teachers based on ideas from instructional design and educational psychology. In-service high school teachers are particularly time-constrained (and thus need efficiency) and they are more metacognitively aware than other students (and thus able to better inform the project design). The new medium will combine multiple modalities, worked examples, and structure based on cognitive models of designers' knowledge. The research questions are (1) Will the teachers learn CS knowledge in this on-line setting? (2) Will the teachers will be more efficient at programming activities? and (3) Will the teachers will find the materials useful and satisfying? Because of its focus on teachers, the project can potentially have broad impact, in particular on the strategies for training the 10,000 teachers envisioned in the CS 10K Project. The project will establish models and design guidelines that can be used for the creation of other learning materials, including materials for students, for example, in the proposed new CS Principles AP course.
