DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The NASA SCI Files is an Emmy award-winning series of instructional programs for grades 3-5. Produced by the NASA Center for Distance Learning, programs in the series are research-, inquiry-, standards-, teacher- and technology-based. Each NASA SCI Files program (1) integrates mathematics, science, and technology; (2) uses Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to enhance and enrich the teaching and learning of science; (3) emphasizes science as inquiry and the scientific method; (4) motivates students to become critical thinkers and active problem solvers; and (5) uses NASA research, facilities, and personnel to raise student awareness of careers and to exhibit the "real-world" application of mathematics, science, and technology. In April 2004, 1,500 randomly selected registered users of the NASA SCI Files were invited to complete a survey containing a series of questions. A total of 263 surveys were received. This report contains the quantitative and qualitative results of that survey.Caton, Randall H. and Ricles, Shannon S. and Pinelli, Thomas E. and Legg, Amy C. and Lambert, Matthew A.Langley Research CenterNASA PROGRAMS; EDUCATION; TELECOMMUNICATION; SCIENCE; ENGINEERING; MATHEMATICS; STUDENTS; VIDEO CONFERENCING; RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT; EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION; EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
