Building on Cross-National Comparisons to Improve the Preparation and Support of Teachers of Mathematics

MAYNARD，宾夕法尼亚大学建立在跨国比较的基础上，以提高数学教师的准备和支持这个奖项支持一个双边研讨会，以检查在美国和中国的数学教师的准备。 该研讨会由宾夕法尼亚大学教育研究生院（GSE）和中国的两个合作机构北京师范大学（BNU）和华东师范大学（ECNU）共同组织。 讲习班将启动两国教师教育工作者之间的知识交流，并制定一项联合研究议程。具体目标包括：a）增加两国关于数学教师培养和数学教学方面有前途的做法和现有挑战的比较知识基础，以及B）促进思想的跨文化交流和对可能的数学教育国际合作研究的问题和要点的探索。主要活动包括在费城宾夕法尼亚大学GSE的专家研讨会（2008年秋季）和来自两国的国家认可的硕士中学教师之间的结构性交流。 该交流包括15名美国早期职业研究人员和5名数学教育研究生。

ABSTRACT0738019 MAYNARD, UNIVERSTY OF PENNSYLVANIA Building on Cross-National Comparisons to Improve the Preparation and Support of Teachers of MathematicsThis award supports a bilateral workshop to examine the preparation of mathematics teachers in the United States and in China. The workshop is co-organized by The University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Graduate School of Education (GSE) and two partner institutions in China, Beijing Normal University (BNU) and East China Normal University (ECNU). The workshop will initiate knowledge exchanges among teacher educators in both countries and forge a joint research agenda. Specific objectives include a) increasing the comparative knowledge base in both nations about promising practices in and existing challenges to mathematics teacher preparation and mathematics instruction, and b) promoting the cross-cultural exchange of ideas and the exploration of questions and points for possible international collaborative research in mathematics education. Major activities include an expert s workshop at Penn GSE in Philadelphia (fall 2008) and structured exchanges between nationally recognized master middle school teachers from both countries. The exchange includes 15 U.S. early-career researchers and 5 graduate students in mathematics education.
