International Conference on Systemic Reform of Science & Mathematics Education: Spring of 2004: Paris, France 2004

拟议的会议旨在就系统的教育改革开展国际对话。 对话将促进对教育改革的发现和理解，同时促进教学、培训和学习。该会议将分析和比较各种学习模式和科学与数学教学方法，以提高K-12水平的数学和科学成就为长期目标。会议将在国家和国际层面制定新的研究战略和合作伙伴，将美国的系统性改革努力与世界各地的类似努力联系起来。教科文组织代表与教育和科学部门工作人员以及美国科学和数学界之间的对话将得到恢复和加强。会议结果将以印刷品形式和在AAS网站上公布。通过会议在大学学者、发展机构的决策者和学校科学和数学教育工作者之间建立的联盟将有助于弥合发展机构的研究与为学术界受众制作的研究之间的差距。这次会议将是朝着建立更密切的对话、确定潜在的合作努力以及促进内部改革以改善世界各地科学和数学教育迈出的重要一步。

The proposed conference is aimed at developing an international dialogue on systemic educational reform. The dialogue will advance discovery and understanding of educational reform, while promoting teaching, training and learning. The initiative will be used to analyze and compare various learning models and pedagogic approaches to science and mathematics teaching, with the long-term aim of improving mathematics and science achievement at the K-12 level.The conference will develop new research strategies and partners at the national and international level, who will link the systemic reform efforts in the US in context with similar efforts around the world. The dialogue between UNESCO representatives and staff from education and science divisions and the US science and mathematics communities will be renewed and strengthened. Results of the conference will be published both in print form and on the AAS website. Alliances developed through the conference among university-based academics, policy-makers in development agencies and school-based science and math educators will help bridge the gap between the research produced by development agencies and that produced for academic audiences. The conference would be an important step towards establishing closer dialogue, identifying potential collaborative efforts, and promoting internal reforms to improve science and math education around the world.
