Sample Modules for Mathematics Teacher Preparation Courses

数学科学(21)这个概念验证提案旨在开发两个为期四周的样本模块，旨在演示材料的可行性。这些模块来自为准备小学教师而设计的两门数学课程。这些课程是一个成功的“一体化学习”项目的一部分，该项目帮助超过三分之一的伊利诺伊芝加哥大学S小学教育专业的学生毕业，专业是数学教学。每个模块还与在国家科学基金会的支持下由UIC编写的国家认可的教学材料密切相关。这些模块将被用来帮助为拟定全面提案奠定基础，包括征聘外地考点和一名出版商。目前正在开发两个模块，并在工业和信息化所进行为期一年的实地测试，从2000年夏天开始。第一个单元侧重于将数学和科学结合起来，并利用数学与科学综合教学项目(TIMS)开发的材料。该单元将于2000年夏季开发，并在秋季学期进行实地测试。第二个模块侧重于几何和几何测量，与UIC数学机动(MWM)项目开发的材料有关。这一单元将在2000年秋季开发，并将在春季学期进行实地测试。每个模块都包括学生文本材料、评估材料和教师指南--所有内容都以CD-ROM格式编写。除了将它们用作更大的发展提案的原型外，正在编写这些单元，以便它们可以作为数学教师预备课程的独立单元传播。

Mathematical Sciences (21)This Proof-of-Concept proposal is to develop two, four-week sample modules that are intended to demonstrate the feasibility of materials. The modules are from two mathematics courses designed for the preparation of elementary school teachers. These courses are part of a successful "study-in-one discipline" program that results in over one-third of University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)'s elementary education majors graduating with a specialization in teaching mathematics. Each module is also closely linked to nationally-recognized instructional materials developed at UIC with NSF support. The modules will be used to help lay the groundwork for development of the full proposal, including recruitment of field test sites and a publisher.Two modules are being developed and field tested at UIC over a one year period beginning in summer 2000. The first module is focusing on integrating mathematics and science and is building from materials developed by the Teaching Integrated Mathematics and Science (TIMS) Project. This module will be developed in summer 2000 and field tested during the fall semester. The second module, which focuses on geometry and geometric measurement, is associated with materials developed by the UIC Maneuvers with Mathematics (MWM) Project. This module is being developed during the Fall 2000 and will be field tested in the spring semester. Each module includes student text materials, assessment materials, and instructor's guides-all prepared in CD-ROM format. In addition to their use as a prototype for the larger development proposal, the modules are being written so that they can be disseminated as standalone units in mathematics teacher preparation courses.
