Energy awareness: a comprehensive approach. Final report
The University of Wisconsin-Superior conducted an intradisciplinary Faculty Development Project during the 1982-1983 year. Twenty-three teachers including 5 women and 18 men from that many schools participated in the project. They attended a 2-week on-campus summer workshop and many also attended the follow-up meeting. The latter was to finalize the plans for introducing Energy Education in participants' high schools. Participants' summer activities consisted of: (1) socials and group dynamics - 6 hrs; (2) laboratory training - 24 hrs; (3) classroom instruction - 18 hrs; (4) field trips - 16 hrs; (5) viewing films in energy and related topics plus listening to the guest speakers - 6 hrs; (6) group discussions for the development of teaching materials in Energy Education - 6 hrs; and (7) taking written examinations - 4 hrs. Those who successfully completed these activities earned 3 quarter graduate credits in a science discipline of choice. Energy Resource Center was created to provide additional information in energy and related areas. The Center displayed multiple copies of over 100 different publications which allowed teachers to compile the materials of their choices and usefulness. In addition, numerous handouts were given during the laboratory and classroom sessions.
