Resumen de Using Technology to Create a Scientific Learning Community
Roxbury Community College (RCC) is an urban, multicultural, two-year college in Boston with a large population of African-American and Hispanic students. Most of the entering students fail to meet minimal levels on standardized math and science tests. RCC has been involved in science and math education reform for more than ten years, in part because these standardized test results for incoming students indicate a lack of proficiency in science and math. The reform has taken two major approaches. The first was the introduction of a course in general science; the second was the introduction of undergraduate research.
