Soloman A. Garfunkel DUE-9452958 COMAP FY1995 $100,000 Arlington, MA 02174 Special Project/TP Title: Responding to the Call for Change: Characterizing the Mathematics Preparation of Elementary School Teachers This project is a one year national effort having as its goal to examine the content of the college/university mathematics experiences (viz., course offerings, content emphases, and alignment with the spirit of current reform efforts) of prospective elementary teachers. The plan has three objectives: 1. Conduct a survey of colleges and universities to gather up-to-date information about current practices in teacher preparation programs. (This objective has already been achieved through funding from NSF and Exxon Foundation - see Appendix B.) 2. Identify and collect materials (textbooks, materials developed by funded projects, and locally-developed materials) that are currently being used by colleges and universities around the United States. 3. Characterize the materials collected with respect to attributes such as: (1) the unifying themes ("big mathematical ideas") for the materials, (2) the organization, sequencing, and presentation of mathematics content, (3) the primary pedagogical features of the materials (e.g., instructional approaches recommended by the authors, grouping schemes promoted, and types of assessment techniques used), (4) the use made of technology, including computer software and manipulatives, and (5) the degree of the alignment of the materials with recently developed (or presently under development) materials by the various elementary and middle grades curriculum development projects sponsored by NSF. The project will involve collaboration among three primary sites: COMAP, Indiana University, and the University of Chicago

所罗门湾加芬克尔 DUE-9452958 COMAP 阿灵顿，MA 02174 特别项目/TP 回应变革的呼唤：小学教师数学准备的特征 该项目是一项为期一年的全国性工作，其目标是审查学院/大学数学经验的内容（即，课程设置、内容重点以及与当前改革努力精神的一致性）。 该计划有三个目标：1。 对学院和大学进行调查，以收集有关教师培训计划现行做法的最新信息。 (This通过NSF和Exxon基金会的资助，该目标已经实现-见附录B。） 2. 确定和收集材料（教科书，资助项目开发的材料，以及当地开发的材料），目前正在使用的学院和大学在美国各地。 3. 描述收集的材料的属性，如：（1）材料的统一主题（“大数学思想”），（2）数学内容的组织，排序和呈现，（3）材料的主要教学特征（例如，教学方法的建议，作者，分组方案的推广，和类型的评估技术使用），（4）使用技术，包括计算机软件和操作，和（5）的一致性程度的材料与最近开发的（或目前正在开发的）材料的各种小学和初中课程开发项目赞助的国家科学基金会。 该项目将涉及三个主要站点之间的合作：COMAP、印第安纳州大学和芝加哥大学
