GK-12 Learning Partnerships: Creating Problem Centered, Interdisciplinary Learning Environments

应主办学区的要求，包括一名实习教师、一名大学教员、一名研究生和一名高级本科生在内的团队正在开发以问题为中心的跨学科学习环境，重点是将数学应用于中学生的地球科学和工程。通过讲习班和课堂体验，该项目正在改善初中和高中学生的教学，并为未来的教师和教职员工做好准备。 这些活动的更广泛影响包括：丰富有兴趣将大学预科或大学教育作为潜在职业的本科生和研究生的教师准备经验;实践科学和数学教师在将数学应用于地球科学和工程方面的内容、应用和跨学科知识;通过创造以问题为中心的跨学科学习环境，重点是数学在地球科学和工程中的应用，改善中学生的学习体验。 该项目的部分支持来自数学和物理科学局。项目名称：GK-12学习伙伴关系：创造以问题为中心的跨学科学习环境机构：科罗拉多矿业学院PI/Co-PI：芭芭拉M。Moskal（PI）; Barbara B.巴斯，琼P.戈辛克，凯茜Skokan科罗拉多矿业学校;蒂娜法尔科纳，亚当县学区涉及学区：亚当斯县50区总资金：$1，494，022三年每年的研究员人数：8名研究生和8名本科生目标受众：6-8年级设置：郊区，农村NSF支持的学科涉及：数学与计算机科学、工程与地球物理

At the request of the hosting school district, teams that include a practicing teacher, a college faculty member, a graduate student and an advanced undergraduate student are developing problem centered, interdisciplinary learning environments that focus on the application of mathematics to earth science and engineering for middle school students. Through workshops and classroom experiences, this project is improving the instruction of middle school and high school students and the preparation of future teachers and faculty. The broader impacts of these activities include enriching: the teacher preparation experiences of undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in pursuing pre-college or college education as a potential career; the content, application and interdisciplinary knowledge of practicing science and mathematics teachers with respect to the application of mathematics to earth science and engineering; the learning experience of middle school students by creating problem centered, interdisciplinary learning environments that focus on the application of mathematics to earth science and engineering. Part of the support for this project comes from the Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
