Systemic Renewal of Teacher Preparation and Mathematics and Science Education

9354038 Cox这个提案的主要目标是重新设计K-12数学和科学教师的课程。它基于一种哲学，强调数学、科学和教师准备的整合，使用基于探究的体验式学习，通过建立设计团队，这些团队将以电子方式联系起来。这将通过体验和服务学习（特别是通过环境服务学习项目）来实现。该计划的特点是，未来教师、在职教师、科学、数学、教育教师将参加暑期研修。该研究所为40名学生和教师开设的目的是使参加者作好准备，发展将于1994年秋季实施的综合数学-科学服务学习方法。指导小组由一名科学家、一名数学家、一名教师教育者、一名实习教师和一名职前教师组成，将在研修期间组成，并将在秋季期间通过电子邮件网络继续他们的演讲。信息将在参与者之间以及与犹他州、南卡罗来纳州和德克萨斯州的国家教育更新网络（NNER）合作学校的团队共享。将对试点项目进行外部评估，以评估夏季研究所和秋季学期的活动。

9354038 Cox The primary goal of this proposal is to redesign the curriculum for preparing teachers of K-12 mathematics and science. It is based on a philosophy that emphasizes the integration of mathematics, science and teacher preparation using inquiry- based, experiential learning by setting up design teams, which will be linked electronically. This is to be accomplished through experiential and service learning (especially through environmental service learning projects). The project features a summer institute in which prospective teachers, practicing teachers, and science, math and education faculty will participate. The purpose of this institute for 40 students and teachers, is to prepare the participants to develop integrated mathematics-science service-learning approaches that will be implemented in the fall of 1994. Mentoring teams, consisting of a scientist, mathematician, a teacher educator, a practicing teacher and a pre-service teacher, will be formed during the institute and will continue their discourse during the fall via an electronic mail network. Information will be shared among the participants and with teams at the Partner Schools of National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER) in Utah, South Carolina and Texas. An external evaluation of the pilot project will be conducted to assess the summer institute and the fall semester's activities.
