Disseminating New Knowledge About Mathematics Instruction

该项目将在以下机构之间开展持续合作： 数学教育研究和专业教学社区， 解释和传播有效知识的目的 小学和中学的数学教学。 一 该项目的主要目标是开发和交流有用的知识 向职业教师讲述中小学数学 以及如何更有效地教授它。 平行目标 是研究人员之间交流的一种形式， 教师，将支持周到和持续使用的研究， 改进教学实践。 两种类型的产品将出现从这个项目，具体的书面 材料和研究成果的传播模式， 应该影响教学。 书面材料将包括：综合 章节，由数学教育工作者和认知科学家团队撰写 研究人员，这将总结目前的研究知识， 与3 - 8年级相关的数学主题;研究翻译， 由专家教师编写，将作为教师的资源 以与学校直接相关的形式学习初等数学 课程和教学的问题和机会;培训 材料，由专家教师开发，将应用研究 调查结果，以实际的课堂实践，通过提供材料， 反思、讨论和教师教学计划。 该项目开发的模型将展示一种手段， 通过专业发展将研究结果提供给实践教育工作者 由一个主要教师工会支持的网络。 渠道 通过本项目开放和发展的通信可以有效地 过去常常把教学研究带到课堂上， 时间带来的知识和教学专业的经验， 引起数学研究者和教育工作者的注意。

This project will develop a sustained collaboration between the mathematics education research and professional teaching communities for the purpose of interpreting and disseminating knowledge about effective mathematics instruction in the elementary and middle school grades. A major goal of the project is to develop and communicate usable knowledge to career teachers about how mathematics in elementary and middle school is learned and how it may be taught more effectively. A parallel goal is the development of a form of communication between researches and teachers that will support thoughtful and continuing use of research in improving instructional practice. Two types of products will emerge from this project, specific written materials and a model for the dissemination of research findings that should effect teaching. The written materials will include: Synthesis chapters, written by teams of mathematics educators and cognitive researchers, that will summarize current research knowledge about mathematics topics relevant to grades 3-8; Research translations, written by expert teachers, that will be used as resources for teachers to learn elementary mathematics in a form tied directly to the school curriculum and to problems and opportunities for teaching; Training materials, developed by expert teachers, that will apply the research findings to actual classroom practice, by providing material for reflection, discussion, and teacher planning of instruction. The model developed by the project will demonstrate a means of bringing research findings to practicing educators via a professional development network supported by a major teachers' union. The channels of communication opened and developed by this project can be effectively used to bring instructional research to the classroom, while at the same time bringing the knowledge and experience of teaching professions to the attention of mathematics researchers and educators.
