Graduate Research Traineeships: Innovative Programs in Cognition and Technology for Mathematics and Science Education

宾夕法尼亚州立大学研究生研究培训的重点是培养认知和技术领域的数学教育或科学教育研究人员。越来越多的人获得新技术，这就提出了在这些环境下数学学习和科学学习的内容和性质的根本问题。该计划包括课程和研究经验，这些课程和研究经验提供了关于数学或科学教学和学习的坚实基础，扎实的数学或科学背景(硕士水平或以上)，新兴技术的前沿知识，定性和定量研究方法的专业知识(特别强调通过访谈来探索学生的理解)，以及对认知和学习的深入理解。学员在整个项目中都参与了关于教与学的研究。此外，该方案的中心是建立和发展关于研究问题的国际对话，最终是关于制定关于技术对数学和科学教与学的影响的研究议程的国际研讨会。该计划旨在为所有级别(从小学到本科)的个人做好准备，他们的研究可以为关于技术对数学或科学教学和学习的影响的知识库做出贡献。

The Penn State Graduate Research Traineeships focus on preparing Mathematics Education or Science Education researchers in the areas of cognition and technology. Increasing access to new technologies are suggesting fundamental questions about the content and nature of mathematics learning and science learning in these environments. The program includes courses and research experiences which provide a firm foundation in research on mathematics or science teaching and learning, a strong mathematics or science background (at or beyond the masters level), a cutting-edge knowledge of emerging technologies, an expertise in both qualitative and quantitative research methods (with special emphasis on using interviews to probe student understanding), and a deep understanding of cognition and learning. Trainees are involved in research on the teaching and learning throughout their program. In addition, the program centers on the establishment and development of an international dialogue on research issues culminating in an international symposium on setting a research agenda on the impact of technology on the teaching and learning of mathematics and science. The program is designed to prepare individuals at all levels (elementary through undergraduate) whose research can contribute to the knowledge base regarding the impact of technology on the teaching and learning of mathematics or science.
