Teaching Improvements through Mathematics Education 2000: An Integrated Undergraduate Program to Improve the Preparation of Mathematics Teachers (Time 2000)

目前的教师教育计划没有为数学教师做好充分的准备，以执行国家数学小组目前的建议。《时代》2000年项目建议通过从高质量的高中数学学生、未被充分代表的少数民族、妇女和残疾人中招募潜在教师到新设计的数学教育计划中来解决这一问题。《时代周刊》计划开发一项大一课程，在概念上将数学、学习心理学和数学教育学融为一体。该计划的数学部分将整合微积分、概率、统计和离散数学等主题，并将采用最新的技术和教学策略。在该计划的心理学-数学教育部分，学生将有机会根据他们在该计划的数学部分的学习经验，面对他们关于数学本质、数学学习和数学教学的个人信念。除了课程以外，学生还将定期与项目工作人员会面，进行研讨会、特殊项目、咨询意见，并获得有关项目的反馈意见。预计该项目将对全国教师教育产生影响。纽约数学、科学和技术卓越教师培训合作组织将成为项目工作人员交流已被评价为有效的想法和活动的媒介。将提供所开发的材料，以便在整个纽约城市大学系统和美国推广。

Current teacher education programs do not sufficiently prepare mathematics teachers to implement the current recommendations of national mathematics groups. The TIME 2000 project proposes to address this problem by recruiting prospective teachers from the pool of high quality high school mathematics students, underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities, into a newly designed, mathematics education program. TIME 2000 plans to develop a freshman year program that will conceptually integrate the mathematics, the psychology of learning, and mathematics pedagogy. The Mathematics Components of the program will integrate such topics as calculus, probability, statistics, and discrete mathematics and will employ the latest technology and teaching strategies. In the Psychology-Mathematics Education Component of the program students will be given the opportunity to confront their personal beliefs about the nature of mathematics, the learning of mathematics and the teaching of mathematics with respect to their learning experiences in the mathematics component of the program. In addition to the coursework students will meet with project staff on a regular basis for seminars, for special projects, for advisement, and to obtain feedback regarding the project. It is expected that the project will have impact on teacher education throughout the country. The New York Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation in Mathematics, Science and Technology will be the medium through which project staff will share those ideas and activities that have been evaluated as effective. The materials developed will be made available to facilitate replication throughout the CUNY system and the United States.
