项目摘要

K-12 schools in South Carolina are implementing new state science standards. As a result, many teachers must obtain significantly new content knowledge while developing new curricula and lesson plans. This project supports ten graduate students majoring in mechanical, chemical, electrical, computer, civil and environmental engineering to work with grades 3-9 science teachers and their students. Project planning involving school district personnel has identified a number of connections between the content knowledge of these engineering students and the new science standards for these grades. The graduate fellows will help teachers adopt, adapt and develop curriculum and instructional materials that use engineering examples, experiments and inquiry and design problems. Each fellow will become an expert in one or more area of the standards, and will work with several teachers and schools throughout their tenure. This plan effectively integrates the fellows' teaching activities with their graduate education and research experiences. In addition to the service learning activities proposed, the fellows will receive formal instruction on teaching principles, cognitive processes and learning styles through a field-based course developed by the College of Education. A series of summer workshops involving the fellows and participating teachers is also proposed.

南卡罗来纳州的K-12学校正在实施新的州科学标准。结果，许多教师在制定新的课程和课程计划时必须获得大量新的内容知识。该项目支持十个主修机械，化学，电气，计算机，民用和环境工程专业的研究生，以与3 - 9年级的科学老师及其学生一起工作。涉及学区人员的项目计划已经确定了这些工程专业学生的内容知识与这些成绩的新科学标准之间的许多联系。研究生研究员将帮助教师采用，适应和开发使用工程示例，实验以及询问和设计问题的课程和教学材料。每个研究员将成为标准一个或多个领域的专家，并将在整个任职期间与几位老师和学校合作。该计划有效地将研究员的教学活动与他们的研究生教育和研究经验相结合。除了提出的服务学习活动外，研究员还将通过教育学院开发的基于现场的课程获得有关教学原则，认知过程和学习风格的正式教学。还提出了一系列涉及研究员和参加教师的夏季研讨会。
