A Hands-On Interdisciplinary Preservice Science Course

加州理工学院将开发和 通过科学家、教师、 教育工作者和大师教师，一个学期的课程， 小学教师教育计划。 未来小学 教师将建构自己的科学知识和工作 在“动手”的科学课堂环境中进行合作。 这些未来的教师将做具有挑战性的调查 用复杂的工具来模拟良好的科学教学。 同时，该课程将提供一个坚实的基础， 生物学、化学、物理学和 地球科学 该课程将纳入 小学科学教师计划

The California Institute of Technology will develop and deliver through a collaborative effort by scientists, teacher- educators, and master teachers, a one-semester course for the elementary teacher education program. Future elementary teachers will construct their own science knowledge and work cooperatively in a "hands on" science classroom environment. These prospective teachers will do challenging investigations with sophisticated tools while modeling good science teaching. Simultaneously, the course will provide a solid foundation in fundamental principles of biology, chemistry, physics and earth science. The course will be integrated into the elementary science teacher program.
