EPWG: The Preparation of Gender-Sensitive Science Teachers in the University of Delaware's Secondary Science Education Program

9450022斯坎特伯里该项目将研究将性别平等培训纳入中学科学教育计划对在职教师职前和合作的教学实践的影响。这两个小组都将参加以科学中的性别平等为中心主题的暑期讲习班、课程、研讨会和会议。主要组成部分包括：为职前教师和合作在职教师提供性别平等培训；为两组教师提供专业发展；利用在职合作教师教授职前方法课程；研究这种参与对合作教师对性别敏感的课堂实践的影响；通过合作教师和大学教师指导职前教师；在大学理科教师和教师之间建立对话。职前教师需要接受公平教学战略方面的具体培训，并由对性别平等问题敏感的高中理科(“合作”)教师进行监督。该项目旨在鼓励职前教师和合作教师通过以下方式发展对性别问题敏感的科学教师的特点：改变职前教师目前的课程安排；直接与合作教师合作；包括为职前教师提供科学研究机会；将教育和科学研究转移到课堂；将计划与其他正在进行的州和地方努力联系起来；在艺术与科学学院和教育学院与当地学校系统之间提供整合；并在国家会议上提交研究报告。***

9450022 Scantlebury This project will study the impact that incorporating gender equity training into the secondary science education program has on the teaching practices of preservice and cooperating inservice teachers. Both groups will participate in summer workshops, coursework, seminars, and meetings which will have gender equity in the sciences as a central theme. Key components include: providing gender equity training for preservice and cooperating inservice teachers; providing professional development for both groups; utilizing inservice cooperating teachers in teaching preservice methods courses; examining the effect this involvement has on the cooperating teachers' gender-sensitive classroom practices; mentoring of preservice teachers by cooperating teachers and university faculty; establishing dialogues between university science faculty and teachers. Preservice teachers need specific training in equitable teaching strategies and supervision by high school science ("cooperating") teachers who are sensitive to gender equity issues. The project is aimed at encouraging preservice and cooperating teachers to develop the characteristics of gender-sensitive science teachers through: changing current coursework for preservice teachers; working directly with cooperating teachers; including scientific research opportunities for preservice teachers; transfer of educational and scientific research to the classroom; linking programs to other ongoing state and local efforts; providing integration between the Colleges of Arts & Sciences and Education, and local school systems; and presenting research at national meetings. ***
