Netcourses—courses delivered primarily over digital networks—promise to provide learners with quality, low-cost learning opportunities anywhere and anytime. While having implications throughout education, adult professionals may be the first to make extensive use of netcourses. By increasing the quality and timeliness of teacher professional development while reducing its costs, netcourses could have a major impact on the quality of teaching. In order to understand the realities of this promise, we have reviewed in detail all netcourses for teachers in mathematics and science. As a result of this analysis, we have developed new designs for the effective use of this medium with mathematics and science teachers. 相似文献

The National Science Foundation-funded Center for Innovative Learning Technologies (CILT) is designed to be a national resource
for stimulating research and development of technology-enabled solutions to critical problems in K-14 science, math, engineering
and technology learning. The Center, launched at the end of 1997, is organized around four themes identified as areas where
research is likely to result in major gains in teaching and learning, and sponsors research across disciplines and institutions
in its four theme areas. CILT brings together experts in the fields of cognitive science, educational technologies, computer
science, subject matter learning, and engineering. It engages business through an Industry Alliance Program and is also training
postdoctoral students. CILT's founding organizations are SRI International's Center for Technology in Learning, University
of California at Berkeley (School of Education and Department of Computer Science), Vanderbilt University's Learning Technology
Center, and the Concord Consortium. Through its programs, CILT seeks to reach beyond these organizations to create a web of
organizations, individuals, industries, schools, foundations, government agencies, and labs, that is devoted to the production,
sharing and use of new knowledge about how learning technologies can dramatically improve the processes and outcomes of learning
and teaching. This paper describes the rationale and operations of the Center, and first-year progress in defining a set of
CILT partnership projects with many other institutions that came out of our national theme-team workshops.
Roy Pea, of SRI International, is Director of CILT.
Marcia Linn (U. California, Berkeley), John Bransford (Vanderbilt University), Barbara Means (SRI International), and Robert
Tinker (Concord Consortium), serve as CILT's coprincipal investigators.
Sherry Hsi (Ubiquitous Computing) and Sean Brophy (Technology and Assessment Models) are among the first group of CILT Postdoctoral
Fellows.
Jeremy Roschelle (SRI International) and Nancy Songer (University of Michigan) are CILT theme-team leaders.
Roy Pea and Marcia Linn would like to thank the Spencer Foundation for support during their year at the Center for Advanced
Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University, in which they developed the CILT concept with the other authors. CILT
is funded by National Science Foundation grant #CDA-9720384. Pea and Linn would also like to acknowledge contributions to
this article by the many authors of CILT partnership project proposals, and by theme-team leaders.
The authors thankfully acknowledge Donna Baranski-Walker for her many contributions to developing the CILT Industrial Alliance
Program while serving as its Director in 1998. 相似文献

Interpreting and creating graphs plays a critical role in scientific practice. The K-12 Next Generation Science Standards call for students to use graphs for scientific modeling, reasoning, and communication. To measure progress on this dimension, we need valid and reliable measures of graph understanding in science. In this research, we designed items to measure graph comprehension, critique, and construction and developed scoring rubrics based on the knowledge integration (KI) framework. We administered the items to over 460 middle school students. We found that the items formed a coherent scale and had good reliability using both item response theory and classical test theory. The KI scoring rubric showed that most students had difficulty linking graphs features to science concepts, especially when asked to critique or construct graphs. In addition, students with limited access to computers as well as those who speak a language other than English at home have less integrated understanding than others. These findings point to the need to increase the integration of graphing into science instruction. The results suggest directions for further research leading to comprehensive assessments of graph understanding. 相似文献

This paper describes part of a project called Modeling Across the Curriculum which is a large-scale research study in 15 schools across the United States. The specific data presented and discussed here in this paper is based on BioLogica, a hypermodel, interactive environment for learning genetics, which was implemented in multiple classes in eight high schools. BioLogica activities, data logging, and assessments were refined across this series of implementations. All students took a genetics content knowledge pre- and posttests. Traces of students' actions and responses to computer-based tasks were electronically collected (via a log file function) and systematically analyzed. An intensive 3-day field test involving 24 middle school students served to refine methods and create narrative profiles of students' learning experiences, outcomes, and interactions with BioLogica. We report on one high school implementation and the field test as self-contained studies to document the changes and the outcomes at different phases of development. A discussion of design changes concludes this paper. 相似文献

Student Scientist Partnerships: Shrewd Maneuvers 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1
It is the very strangeness of nature that makes science engrossing, that keeps bright people at it, and that ought to be at the center of science teaching. I believe that the worst thing that has happened to science education is that the great fun has gone out of it—Very few see science as the high adventure it really is, the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings, the chance to catch close views of things never seen before, the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.

Reasoning with Atomic-Scale Molecular Dynamic Models 总被引：1，自引：4，他引：1
The studies reported in this paper are an initial effort to explore the applicability of computational models in introductory science learning. Two instructional interventions are described that use a molecular dynamics model embedded in a set of online learning activities with middle and high school students in 10 classrooms. The studies indicate that middle and high schools students can acquire robust mental models of the states of matter through guided explorations of computational models of matter based on molecular dynamics. Using this approach, students accurately recall arrangements of the different states of matter, and can reason about atomic interactions. These results are independent of gender and they hold for a number of different classroom contexts. Follow-up interviews indicate that students are able to transfer their understanding of phases of matter to new contexts. 相似文献

Mentoring, as an arrangement for academic and professional development in higher education, is a relatively recent innovation. Planned and structured collegial support has been seen to serve two functions, these being of a compensatory and nurturant kind. The case study, reported here, is distinctive in that it discusses research mentoring in an institution undergoing significant academic restructuring. The nature of the project was one in which the mentor/mentees relationship was developed in recognition of the participants being peers but having experienced different academic histories. The process was seen to be a generative one which passed through four stages: initiation; cultivation; separation and redefinition. The study is coauthored by all participants in the process and can be represented as reflexive inquiry as it captures the growing awareness and insightfulness of each person playing out his or her roles. In this sense, then, the paper is a reflective evaluation of the process rather than an account of research in progress. 相似文献

Temporal and topic contingencies between child and mother speech are reported at 2 achievements in language development in the second year. Measured against their respective baseline rates of speech, children were most likely to talk before mother speech and mothers most likely to talk after child speech. This pattern, evident at both language achievements, increased in amplitude with development. These early conversations were generated by the children; neither their interactions nor word learning depended on adult-scaffolded formats. Only about one-third of all child speech occurred in response to something mothers said; only half of all child speech received a topic-related response. When mothers responded, they most often simply acknowledged, repeated, or clarified what the child said. The results supported the intentionality model for language development, in which the child's role is primary: Children learn words for expression and interpretation in order to share contents of mind, bringing words to their conversations that they've already learned in other contexts. 相似文献
