9354526 Wink The chemistry and mathematics departments of the University of Illinois at Chicago propose to develop a common curriculum for preparatory instruction in general chemistry and intermediate algebra. The course, dubbed "The MATCH Program" to reflect its origins, will be offered to students who require preparatory courses in order to succeed in college, because of deficiencies in the their educational background or because they are returning to their higher education several years after graduation from high school. The impetus for the curriculum comes from a recognition that such students, who may be very important in the composition of the nation's technical personnel in the future, will likely do better if these courses are combined so that mathematics and chemistry instruction reinforce each other explicitly. The proposed work will be conducted over a three year period, with a planned transition from a small developmental program through to one that can be used at other institutions. Cooperative learning strategies and laboratory program will be key elements of the instructional effort. The development, evaluation, and implementation plans all include close consultation with faculty from other schools, who have either had experience with similar programs or who recognize a similar need for this program for their students. Finally, a careful and rigorously controlled assessment program will be included. ***

9354526 Wink 伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的化学和数学系提议开发通用化学和中级代数预科课程。该课程被称为“MATCH 计划”以反映其起源，将提供给因教育背景不足或几年后重返高等教育而需要参加预科课程才能在大学取得成功的学生。高中毕业。该课程的推动力来自于这样的认识：这些学生可能在未来国家技术人员的组成中非常重要，如果将这些课程结合起来，使数学和化学教学明确地相互加强，他们可能会做得更好。 拟议的工作将在三年内进行，计划从小型发展计划过​​渡到可在其他机构使用的计划。合作学习策略和实验室计划将是教学工作的关键要素。制定、评估和实施计划都包括与其他学校的教师密切协商，他们要么有类似项目的经验，要么认识到学生对该项目有类似的需求。最后，将包括仔细且严格控制的评估计划。 ***
