MATH:Conference:Translating Education Research into Classroom Practice

预计大学毕业生的数学背景很强，这样他们就可以在劳动力中茁壮成长，成为科学，技术，工程，数学（STEM）专业人士，以及其他技术和非技术领域的专业人士，以及能够通过媒体和其他来源浏览各种信息的公民。为此，在数学科学中一直在努力改善本科数学的学习和教学。一个机构的研究学习和教学现在存在的证据指向有效的策略，数学教学的大学生。该项目将举办一次研讨会，召集数学和数学教育研究方面的专家，确定并优先考虑将研究转化为教学实践的最紧迫证据，并制定本科数学教学中基于研究的教学实践指南。是专注于本科数学的最大的专业组织，是数学教师专业发展的主要来源，也是本科教学和学习的资源数学因此，MAA是自然和最佳的领导组织，以产生一个资源，旨在注入基于研究的数学到本科数学教学。拟议的研讨会将使MAA的本科数学教学委员会能够将来自多个社区的专家聚集到一个身临其境的环境中，他们可以专注于为设想的指南确定优先领域的工作。研讨会的成果将包括：（1）确定本科数学教育中的数学家和研究人员将教育研究转化为教学实践的最佳途径;（2）编写一份文件，描述、澄清和指导上述成果（1）中确定的途径;（3）找出教育研究知识库中的差距，并将这些差距优先纳入未来的研究议程。

A strong background in mathematics is expected of college graduates so that they can thrive in the workforce as science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) professionals, and professionals in other technical and non-technical fields, as well as citizens able to navigate the variety of information available through the media and other sources. To this end, there have been efforts in the mathematical sciences to improve the learning and teaching of undergraduate mathematics. A body of research on learning and teaching now exists that provides evidence pointing to effective strategies for teaching of mathematics to college students. This project will host a workshop to bring together experts in mathematics and mathematics education research to identify and prioritize the most pressing evidence toward translating that research into teaching practice and develop a guide to research-based pedagogical practices in undergraduate mathematics teaching.The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) is the largest professional organization focused on undergraduate mathematics and is the leading source for mathematics faculty professional development as well as resources for teaching and learning undergraduate mathematics. Thus, the MAA is the natural and optimal lead organization to produce a resource intended to infuse research-based pedagogies into the teaching of undergraduate mathematics. The proposed workshop will enable the MAA's Committee on Teaching Undergraduate Mathematics to bring together experts from multiple communities into an immersive environment in which they can focus on the work of identifying priority areas for the envisioned guide. Outcomes of the workshop will include: (1) ascertaining optimal pathway(s) for mathematicians and researchers in undergraduate mathematics education to translate the education research into teaching practice; (2) producing a document that describes, clarifies, and guides the pathway(s) determined in the aforementioned outcome (1); and (3) identifying gaps in the education research knowledge base and prioritizing those gaps into future research agendas.
