Developing a Digital National Library for Undergraduate Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology Education
- Share to:
Acentral role of the National Science Foundation (NSF) is to support the improvement of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SME&T) education for all students in the United States at all grade levels. In its quest to catalyze and sustain educational reform at the undergraduate level, the NSF issued a report in 1996 on the status of undergrad- uate SME&T education (National Science Foundation, 1996b). That report called for fundamental changes in the ways in which SME&T subjects are taught and urged the agency to sponsor the development of “a national electronic library for validating and disseminating successful educational practices” (National Science Foundation, 1996b, page 72) and to “provide specific problem training sessions for faculty across institutions, in topics such as how to do inquiry and collaborative learning in large ‘lecture’ classes, how to assess learning outcomes, and how to document learning gains at the departmental and institutional levels” (National Science Foundation, 1996b, page 72).
