This research project studies the impact of strategic integration of relevant math and science topics on teachers' knowledge and beliefs, their classroom practice, and their students' understanding and beliefs. Teachers in a control group will receive comparable professional development in which science and mathematics are covered separately. The target population of grades 2-5 teachers comes from 20 schools in Eugene, OR, a region with a socio-economically diverse student population. The proposal hypothesizes that the strategic integration will lead to more frequent and effective use of mathematics in science teaching and improved student outcomes. The project employs both qualitative and quantitative research measures and proposes a robust dissemination plan, including outreach to rural districts in Oregon.

本研究项目研究了相关数理主题的策略整合对教师的知识与信念、教师的课堂实践以及学生的理解与信念的影响。对照组的教师将获得类似的专业发展，其中分别涵盖科学和数学。2-5年级教师的目标人群来自俄勒冈州尤金的20所学校，这是一个社会经济多样化的学生群体地区。该建议假设战略整合将导致数学在科学教学中更频繁和有效地使用，并提高学生的成绩。该项目采用定性和定量研究措施，并提出了一项强有力的传播计划，包括向俄勒冈州的农村地区推广。
