Proposal: Designing of a science learning environment

The second component of the course requires you to design your own science education learning environment. As a component of this work, you will present your work to the class. To facilitate your presentation, one week prior to your presentation, you will distribute a written component to the class.

On February 9th, I would like you to hand in a brief proposal of the environment you hope to develop. This can change, but your proposal is necessary to get you going. I’m willing to meet with each of you to discuss your proposal. Note: you can work in teams to develop your learning environment.

Your proposal should describe what you hope to accomplish. Your proposal is essential a working plan that most likely will change. Your proposal should address the following components: What do you hope to accomplish? What are the goals of your learning environment? What is the need (why do it in the first place)? What might be some of the key design features of your environment? What assumptions regarding teaching and learning will you base your design on?
