Science Cases for Teacher Enhancement

小行星9708909 这是一个为期12个月的SGER补助金，用于开发两个与学生从现实生活中的课堂教学中获得的科学概念知识有关的基本科学案例。 在成功地用于准备其他专业人士，如商业和法律的案例后，这些科学案例将奠定理论思想，并在物理科学教学中加强分析思维，反思和决策。 该项目基于早期的数学工作，将探索和回答以下问题：科学案例是什么样的？ 科学案例的基本要素是什么？ 科学案例中出现的哪些问题从科学的一个概念领域转移到另一个概念领域？参与个案将如何提升教师的物理科学内容、知识与教学策略。 如果成功的话，这些原型可能会导致一种新型的科学教育专业发展材料。

9708909 Schneider This is a twelve month SGER grant to develop two elementary science cases relating to student knowledge of science concepts drawn from real-life classroom teaching. Patterned after the cases successfully used to prepare other professionals such as those in business and law, these science cases will ground theoretical ideas and enhance analytic thought, reflection, and decision making in the teaching of physical science. The project, based on earlier work in mathematics, will explore and answer the following questions: What does a science case look like? What are the essential elements of a science case? What issues that arise in science cases transfer from one conceptual area in science to another? How will involvement in a case improve teachers' physical science content and knowledge and instructional strategies. If successful these prototypes my lead to a new type of professional development material for science education.
