Noyce Mathematics Education Teaching Scholars at NC State University

Noyce数学教育教学学者（Noyce METS）旨在增加北卡罗来纳州立大学（NCSU）准备的高素质数学教师的数量，这些教师的专业是数学科学和数学教育，强调内容和教学内容知识，以一种方式建立对教学所需数学的理解。这些学者准备成为技术创新的领导者，以提高学生在数学课堂上的理解，并致力于与高需求学校的学生合作。诺伊斯METS项目的一个目标是增加攻读双学位的本科生数量，从而获得数学或统计学学士学位和数学教育学士学位，这是北卡罗来纳州立大学目前提供的一种选择。Noyce METS计划还使具有数学科学学士或硕士学位的STEM专业人员能够获得9-12个数学执照，要么通过只获得执照的途径获得初始执照，要么通过硕士课程获得初始和高级执照。该项目支持17名本科诺伊斯学者和15名本科后学者。在参加北卡州立大学课程期间，诺伊斯学者参加了专门的研讨会，这些研讨会利用了数学教育，数学和统计部门以及教育学院的教师的专业知识。研讨会重点介绍了技术在数学（特别是几何、微积分和统计学）教学中的应用、课堂上的文化和多样性，以及农村和城市环境中的教学问题。项目设计的目的在于帮助教师培养较强的内容知识、教学内容知识和专门的数学教学知识。NCSU数学教育项目包含了来自数学科学系的高质量、严格内容的课程，并且要求的数学教育课程远远超过了大多数机构所要求的数量。数学教育课程集数学教与学的研究与数学教育特有的教学内容知识于一体。

The Noyce Mathematics Education Teaching Scholars (Noyce METS) aims to increase the number of highly qualified mathematics teachers prepared at North Carolina State University (NCSU) with a major in a mathematical science and a major in mathematics education that emphasizes content and pedagogical content knowledge in a way that builds understanding of mathematics needed for teaching. These scholars are prepared to become leaders in technological innovation to improve student understanding in mathematics classrooms, and are committed to working with students in high-needs schools. One goal of the Noyce METS program is to increase the number of undergraduate students pursuing a double major that results in a B.S. in Mathematics or Statistics and a B.S. in Mathematics Education -- an option currently available at NC State. The Noyce METS program also enables STEM professionals with a bachelors or masters degree in a mathematical science to earn 9-12 mathematics licensure, either through a licensure only track to earn an initial license, or through a masters program where they earn initial and advanced licensure. The project is supporting 17 undergraduate Noyce Scholars and 15 post-baccalaureate Scholars. During their participation in the NC State programs, the Noyce Scholars engage in special seminars which draw upon the expertise of faculty in the Mathematics Education, Mathematics and Statistics Departments, and the College of Education. Seminars highlight uses of technology for teaching mathematics (particularly in Geometry, Calculus, and Statistics), culture and diversity in the classroom, and issues of teaching in rural and urban settings. The design of the project is purposeful in helping teachers develop strong content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and specialized mathematical knowledge for teaching. The NCSU Mathematics Education program includes a strong component of high quality, rigorous content courses from the mathematical sciences departments and requires mathematics education courses that, by far, exceed the number required at most institutions. The mathematics education courses integrate research on teaching and learning mathematics and the pedagogical content knowledge specific to mathematics education.
