GK 12 Creating Integrated Engineering

项目摘要

This project builds on successful reforms in hands-on engineering education that are the core of the Integrated Teaching and Learning (ITL) Program in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Twenty graduate and 8 undergraduate GK-12 Fellows, comprehensively trained as "engineering ambassadors," are delivering the pedagogy and engineering content pioneered in the ITL Program over the past seven years. Each Fellow is paired with a faculty mentor selected for his/her demonstrated interest in engineering outreach.The GK-12 program is creating a significant partnership between the College and K-12 schools to extend the success of the ITL undergraduate engineering program by providing a unique graduate student learning and mentoring experience that impacts the K-12 community of learners. The Fellows serve as classroom agents to help teachers better prepare students for a world increasingly dependent on engineering and technology through the integration of technology-enhanced, hands-on learning components with math, physical science and technology curricula. Fellows impact K-12 students with diverse learning styles through the use of project-based, hands-on learning, while assisting K-12 teachers in gaining content knowledge on engineering and technology as vehicles to address appropriate state educational standards. A number of formative and summative evaluation methods are being used to assess and continuously refine the many facets of the program. In addition to providing classroom support and encouraging more K-12 students to pursue technical careers, the project helps legitimize outreach as a valid and worthwhile academic endeavor for graduate students and engineering faculty.

该项目以成功的动手工程教育的成功改革为基础，这是科罗拉多大学博尔德大学工程与应用科学学院综合教学（ITL）计划的核心。二十名毕业生和8名本科GK-12研究员全面培训为“工程大使”，在过去的七年中，正在提供ITL计划中开创的教学法和工程内容。每个家伙都与一位因其对工程外展表现出的兴趣而选出的教师导师配对。GK-12计划正在大学和K-12学校之间建立重要的合作伙伴关系，以扩大ITL本科工程计划的成功，通过提供独特的研究生学习和指导经验，从而影响K-12学习者K-12社区。这些研究员是课堂代理，通过将技术增强的，动手的学习组件与数学，物理科学和技术课程的整合结合在一起，以帮助教师更好地为一个越来越依赖工程和技术的世界做好准备。研究员通过使用基于项目的动手学习来影响具有多种学习风格的K-12学生，同时协助K-12教师获得有关工程和技术的内容知识，以解决适当的州教育标准。许多形成性和总结性评估方法都用于评估和连续完善程序的许多方面。除了提供课堂支持并鼓励更多的K-12学生从事技术职业外，该项目还有助于将外展合法化为研究生和工程学院的有效且值得的学术努力。
