Professional Development to Promote Discovery and Cooperative Learning

这项研究工作旨在研究和测试教师 在职材料和计划，将促进和支持 中学数学教学的变革与创新 学校 第一阶段项目将集中在高中 几何，并根据议程解决新的NCTM标准 数学的发现方法， 学生合作学习 该提案描述了一个 在服务模式，解决了应用新的 对现有教室的教学指导，全校范围内， 地区结构;使用以下指标评估服务结果： 学生和教师参与的表现;以及 建立一种机制， 可以在经济上和动机上自我延续的过程。

This research effort is designed to research and test teacher inservice materials and programs that will promote and support change and innovation in the teaching of mathematics in secondary schools. This Phase I project will focus on high school geometry, and address the new NCTM Standards with an agenda based on a discovery approach to mathematics realized through cooperative student learning. The proposal describes an inservice model which addresses the issues of applying new pedagogical directions to existing classroom, schoolwide, and district structures; assessing inservice results with metrics of both student and teacher-participant performance; and establishing a mechanism by which the inservice's dissemination can financially and motivationally self-perpetuation process.
