Adapting K-8 Mathematics Curricular Materials for Pre-Service Teacher Education

数学科学(21)。这一项目的基础是为职前教师制定一个框架，使他们能够对课程对教与学的影响建立有意义的理解。此外，项目组正在进行研究，以确定职前教师参与一项特定的研究倡议(重点放在代数方面)是否会改善他们的内容和教学知识。本项目由职前教师进行的研究包括一个循环的课程调查，体验(作为学习者)改编自教材的课程，观察(作为未来教师)课堂教师和学生体验课程。职前教师参与的具体研究举措涉及调整和修改基于标准的K-8学生课程材料，这些材料最初是为支持K-8在职教师的教学而设计的。项目负责人正在开发适应性任务和工具，学生将其用作课程调查的基础。评估工具NSF-MSP#0335411正被用于评估学生(职前教师)的学习。与该项目相关的智力优势是相当可观的。职前教师正在研究课程对教与学的影响，而项目团队则正在进行和评估学生(职前教师)研究项目对其内容和教学知识的影响。该项目的更广泛影响之一是为数学和其他学科的K-12教师培训计划开发了一个了解研究情况的模型。

Mathematical Science (21). Fundamental to this project is the development of a framework for pre-service teachers to enable them to construct a meaningful understanding of the impact of curriculum on teaching and learning. In addition, research is being conducted by the project team to determine if the participation of pre-service teachers in a particular research initiative (with a focus on the algebra strand) improves their content and pedagogical knowledge. The research being conducted by the pre-service teachers in this project includes a cycle of curriculum investigation, experiencing (as learners) lessons adapted from the materials, and observing (as future teachers) classroom teachers and students experiencing the lessons. Particular research initiatives for which the pre-service teachers are engaged involve adapting and modifying standards based K-8 student curriculum materials originally designed to be used to support teaching of K-8 in-service teachers. Adaptive tasks and instrumentation are being developed by the project leaders, and students use these as the basis for their curriculum investigation. An assessment instrument NSF-MSP #0335411 is being adapted to assess student (pre-service teacher) learning.The intellectual merit related to this project is substantial. Pre-service teachers are conducting research on the impact of curriculum on teaching and learning, and the project team, in turn, is conducting and evaluating research on the effects the students' (pre-service teachers') research projects have on their content and pedagogical knowledge. Among the broader impacts of the project is the development of a research informed model for K-12 teacher preparation programs in mathematics as well as other disciplines.
