Since World War II, it has become increasingly clear that the goals for teaching and learning mathematics and the sciences are not being met. Graduates emerge with at best an ability to manipulate formulas, and at worst attitudes that reject these subjects and their applications. Often, computing science graduates are ill-prepared for even entry-level positions because of deficiencies in general problem-solving, oral and written communication, and working in teams. In this project, Georgia State University (GSU) is beginning the process to design, implement, and report on the results of systemic change in pedagogy in collegiate-level mathematics, statistics, computer science, and physical sciences courses, especially for pre-service teachers in keeping with MAA and AMATYC recommendations. One goal of the project is to change the basic modus operandi of how courses are taught. The initial focus is on the first two years of college mathematics, statistics, and computer science while planning for extending the efforts into the physical sciences. The project is being conducted in three phases. First, faculty in Mathematics and Computer Science, which also includes statistics, and Learning Support Programs are collaborating with faculty from the GSU College of Education to coordinate pedagogy taught in education courses with that experienced in content courses. Second, faculty from Chemistry and Geology departments will begin participating. Thirdly, representative faculty from other schools will be encouraged and supported to plan programs for their institutions. Products include: an ethnographic study of the entire program; a model for colleges interested in such systemic change; and guidelines/practical suggestions on ways in which mathematics and science departments can spur joint effort among faculty to ensure that innovative curriculum development and pedagogical change has a sustained impact. Lastly, a national advisory board of prominent professionals is being formed representing the mat hematical and physical sciences, education, and other schools.

自第二次世界大战以来，越来越明显的是，数学和科学的教学和学习目标没有得到满足。毕业生最好的情况是有能力操纵公式，最坏的情况是拒绝这些学科及其应用。通常情况下，计算机科学专业的毕业生即使是入门级的职位也准备不足，因为他们在解决一般问题、口头和书面沟通以及团队合作方面存在不足。 在该项目中，格鲁吉亚州立大学（GSU）正在开始设计、实施和报告大学数学、统计学、计算机科学和物理科学课程教学法系统变革的结果，特别是针对符合MAA和AMATYC建议的职前教师。该项目的目标之一是改变课程教学的基本做法。最初的重点是大学数学，统计学和计算机科学的前两年，同时计划将努力扩展到物理科学。 该项目分三个阶段进行。首先，数学和计算机科学（也包括统计学）以及学习支持计划的教师正在与GSU教育学院的教师合作，以协调教育课程中教授的教学法与内容课程中经验丰富的教学法。第二，化学系和地质系的教师将开始参加。第三，将鼓励和支持其他学校的代表性教师为他们的机构规划课程。产品包括：对整个计划的人种学研究;对这种系统性变化感兴趣的学院的模型;以及关于数学和科学部门如何激励教师共同努力的指导方针/实用建议，以确保创新的课程开发和教学改革产生持续的影响。最后，正在组建一个由杰出专业人员组成的全国咨询委员会，代表数学和物理科学、教育和其他学校。
