Middle School Mathematics and Science: A Multifaceted Solution to Teacher Preparation ?(MS)3:TP!

该项目的目的是证明 重新设计数学和科学课程， 课程来自认知科学的研究成果，并重点关注 教学内容知识的发展。 三个课程 选修一学期的生物学、微积分课程。有理数 学习和概率，都是一个程序中的课程， 中学数学和科学教师。 该项目将开始与预备教师研讨会，包括 研究主题，如组织，记忆限制，类比 推理和语义网络。 每对教师将计划 秋季学期的课程，春季学期的团队教学。 对内容的理解将由内容专家进行评估， 有笔试的认知心理学家，个人 访谈，和一个基于计算机的语义网络程序。 如果 如果成功，该项目将成为规划新教师的基础。 中学数学教师准备计划， 科学

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of redesigning courses in mathematics and science by incorporating into the courses research results from cognitive science, and by focusing on the development of pedagogical content knowledge. The three courses selected, one-semester courses in biology, calculus. and rational number learning and probability, are all courses in a program for preparing middle school teachers of mathematics and science. The project would begin with a preparatory faculty seminar covering research on topics such as organization, memory constraints, analogical reasoning, and semantic networks. Pairs of Faculty would plan each course in the fall term, and team-teach it in the spring term. understanding of content will be evaluated by content specialists and cognitive psychologists with written examinations, individual interviews, and a computer-based semantic network program. If successful, the project will form the basis for planning a new teacher preparation program for middle school teachers of mathematics and science.
