Conceptual Learning in a MST Laboratory Environment for K-6 Preservice Teachers

跨学科（99）《纽约数学、科学和技术学习标准》（MST）呼吁改变课堂上教授数学和科学的方式，特别是更加强调以探究为基础和以问题为基础的学习。由于这些改革对教师培训计划具有重要意义，因此本项目正在获得特定的计算机技术、软件和配套的数据采集仪器，以便在实验室/教室环境中进行配置，从而有利于基于探究和问题的学习和教学。由此产生的MST实验室使未来的K-6教师能够构建数学分析和科学调查之间的关键联系，并根据NYS MST学习标准开发必要的教学技术能力。项目活动包括采用、调整和实施将在MST综合实验室教授的六门数学和科学相关课程的材料和技术。这些材料和教育实践是从长岛互联学习联盟和其他项目中改编的数学科学及其在整个课程中的应用倡议。圣约翰费舍尔学院是纽约州联盟（NYSC）的创始成员，该联盟由大约32所四年制学院组成。纽约证券委员会正在促进该项目成果的传播。

Interdisciplinary (99)The New York Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science and Technology (MST) call for changes in the way mathematics and science are taught in the classroom, including in particular an increased emphasis on inquiry-based and problem-based learning. Since these reforms have key implications for teacher preparation programs, this project is obtaining specific computer technology, software, and accompanying data acquisition instrumentation to be configured in a laboratory/classroom environment conducive to inquiry- and problem-based learning and teaching. This resulting MST Laboratory is enabling prospective K-6 teachers to construct the critical links between mathematical analysis and scientific investigation and to develop the technological competence necessary to teach in accordance with the NYS MST Learning Standards. Project activities include adoption, adaptation and implementation of materials and technology for six mathematics- and science- related courses to be taught in the integrated MST Laboratory. These materials and educational practices are being adapted from the Long Island Consortium for Interconnected Learning and other projects in the Mathematical Sciences and their Applications Across the Curriculum Initiative. St. John Fisher College is a founding member of the New York State Coalition (NYSC) which is comprised of some thirty two- and four-year colleges. Dissemination of the results of this project is being facilitated by the NYSC.
