Revising Science Education with Vision (REVISION)

德尔马尔学院（DMC），与其他几个机构，包括电影艺术学院在南加州大学（南加州大学）合作，正在开发一个修订科学教育与愿景（修订）计划。 该计划涉及DMC学生使用更现代的科学技能，并为他们提供更多的实践方法，培养批判性和独立思考。 嵌入在几个实验室的基础上的愿景和变化的概念为基础的课程建议的研究组件正在被用来帮助学生在开发他们的故障排除和解决问题的活动。 此外，在南加州大学安纳伯格创新实验室的帮助下，学生将获得使用移动终端平台的高度参与的课程材料，以鼓励参与，学习和教师/学生社区建设使用技术先进的工具。该计划是准备和培训学生成为批判性思维者，并让他们使用与生物技术相关的新的和新兴的技能组合，国家经济的重要部门。 通过为学生提供研究机会和为教师提供专业发展机会，该计划是当代课程和教师发展的基石。更广泛的影响：该提案为学生提供教育和培训机会，使其在生物技术工作中更具竞争力，并为进入劳动力市场或学士后学位课程做好更好的准备。 由于DMC是一个少数民族服务机构，为许多第一代大学生，更多和更多样化的学生群体和教师受益于该项目提供的学习机会。

Del Mar College (DMC), in collaboration with several other institutions including The School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California (USC) is developing a Revising Science Education with Vision (REVISION) program. The program involves DMC students using more contemporary scientific skills and provides them more practice with methods that develop critical and independent thinking. Research components embedded within several laboratories based on the Vision and Change concept-based curriculum recommendations are being used to assist student in developing their troubleshooting and problem-solving activities. Additionally, with the help of the USC Annenberg Innovation Laboratory, the students will be provided with highly engaging curricular materials that use mobile device platforms to encourage participation, learning and faculty/student community building using technologically advanced tools.Intellectual merit: The program is preparing and training students to be critical thinkers and giving them practice using new and emerging skill sets associated with biotechnology, an important sector in the nation's economy. By providing research opportunities for students and professional development opportunities for faculty, the program is serving as the cornerstone of contemporary curricula and faculty development.Broader impacts: This proposal provides educational and training opportunities for students to be more competitive for biotechnology jobs and be better prepared to enter the workforce or post-baccalaureate degree programs. Because DMC is a Minority Serving Institution that serves many first-generation college students, additional and more diverse student populations and faculty are benefiting from the learning opportunities provided by the project.
