EPWG: The Preparation of Gender-Sensitive Science Teachers in the University of Delaware's Secondary Science Education Program

小行星9450022 该项目将研究将两性平等培训纳入中学科学教育方案对在职教师和合作教师的教学实践的影响。 这两个小组将参加暑期讲习班、课程、研讨会和会议，这些讲习班、课程、研讨会和会议将把科学领域的两性平等作为中心主题。 主要组成部分包括： 为在职合作教师和合作教师提供两性平等培训;为这两个群体提供专业发展;利用在职合作教师教授教育方法课程;审查这种参与对合作教师对性别问题敏感的课堂做法的影响;由合作教师和大学教员指导在职合作教师;在大学科学系和教师之间建立对话。 职前教师需要在公平教学战略和对两性平等问题敏感的高中科学（“合作”）教师的监督方面接受专门培训。 该项目旨在鼓励兼职教师和合作教师培养对性别问题有敏感认识的科学教师的特点，方法是：改变兼职教师目前的课程;直接与合作教师合作;为兼职教师提供科学研究机会;将教育和科学研究转移到课堂;将方案与其他正在进行的国家和地方努力联系起来;提供文理学院&和教育学院与当地学校系统之间的整合;并在全国会议上介绍研究成果。 ***

9450022 Scantlebury This project will study the impact that incorporating gender equity training into the secondary science education program has on the teaching practices of preservice and cooperating inservice teachers. Both groups will participate in summer workshops, coursework, seminars, and meetings which will have gender equity in the sciences as a central theme. Key components include: providing gender equity training for preservice and cooperating inservice teachers; providing professional development for both groups; utilizing inservice cooperating teachers in teaching preservice methods courses; examining the effect this involvement has on the cooperating teachers' gender-sensitive classroom practices; mentoring of preservice teachers by cooperating teachers and university faculty; establishing dialogues between university science faculty and teachers. Preservice teachers need specific training in equitable teaching strategies and supervision by high school science ("cooperating") teachers who are sensitive to gender equity issues. The project is aimed at encouraging preservice and cooperating teachers to develop the characteristics of gender-sensitive science teachers through: changing current coursework for preservice teachers; working directly with cooperating teachers; including scientific research opportunities for preservice teachers; transfer of educational and scientific research to the classroom; linking programs to other ongoing state and local efforts; providing integration between the Colleges of Arts & Sciences and Education, and local school systems; and presenting research at national meetings. ***
