摘要：
The research outlined in this paper looks at a teacher professional development program designed designed to prepare middle school teachers to teach an after school engineering/technology LEGO (TM) robotics unit. Thirteen Massachusetts public middle-school teachers participated in a summer professional development programme during the first two weeks of August 2005. Many of these teachers had not had any formal training in teaching engineering/technology. This paper looks at aspects of the professional development course that worked and those that did not by considering confidence surveys, researcher observations and teacher interviews.
