Preparation of Mathematics and Science Teachers for the Twenty-First Century at North Carolina State University

本项目的主要目标是将建构主义方法联合收割机与 教学与技术工具的学习，以提高 本科数学和科学教师准备计划. 北卡罗来纳州州立大学。修订后的课程将提供 替代传统讲座和黑板/开销的模式 一种为准备成为 中学数学和科学教师。 因为老师教的是 他们已经被教导，修订后的计划的毕业生应该能够 在自己的课堂上使用建构主义教学方法， 利用现有和新兴技术加强教学。 到 四位数学家，三位科学家，五位 数学教育家，4名科学教育家，12名教师， 几位业务主管将合作修订， 十道菜 这些专家将被组织成小组 负责将适当技术的使用和 将建构主义教学法融入三门数学课程，两门 科学入门课程，三门数学教育课程，以及 2科学教育课程。 该项目的成本分摊将为NSF支持的135%。

The main goal of this project is to combine a constructivist approach to teaching with technological tools for learning in order to improve the undergraduate mathematics and science teacher preparation programs at North Carolina State University. Revised courses will provide alternative models to the traditional lecture and chalkboard/overhead method of instruction for undergraduates who are preparing to become secondary mathematics and science teachers. Since teachers teach as they have been taught, graduates of the revised program should be able to use a constructivist approach to teaching in their own classrooms and enhance that teaching with existing and emerging technologies. To support this change four mathematicians, three scientists, five mathematics educators, four science educators, twelve teachers, and several business executives will work collaboratively on revisions to ten separate courses. These specialists will be organized into teams responsible for incorporating the use of appropriate technologies and a constructivist approach to teaching into three mathematics courses, two introductory science courses, three mathematics education courses, and two science education courses. The cost sharing for the project will be 135% of the NSF support.
