Faculty Development Projects in Energy Education: An Assessment of 1982 Summer Workshops

摘要

The Department of Energy Faculty Development Projects in Energy Education were designed to inform elementary and high school teachers about energy so they could introduce students to energy concepts and facts. The program was composed of workshops held at universities for, on average, 2 weeks during the summer. Based on evaluations by the participants, this report assesses 42 of the 55 workshops funded in 1982. It describes those activities that were rated most useful and motivating and the participants' reactions to content and level of information presented. Differences are noted between elementary and secondary teachers, between participants attending workshops on specific topics, and between science and nonscience teachers. (ERA citation 09:004914)
