A Summer Research Experience for Science Teachers

9731321科克西南得克萨斯州立大学提供为期60个月的教师和学生通过研究体验发展项目。该项目由两个部分组成。第一部分每年为多达30名初中和高中教师提供生物、化学、物理、数学和技术领域的研究机会。在8-9周的暑期体验中，教师与教师科学家/导师就当前的研究项目进行合作，并支持他们将研究的元素转化为学生的课堂体验。第二部分每年夏天聘请18名高中生和多达8名教师参加数学研究的课程和学习。教师还学习学习理论和研究课题，以便开发将数学研究课题纳入他们的教学的模块。在学年中，学生/教师团队开发研究项目，并在春季会议上发表。参与者通过电子方式相互交流，并与一位大学教师导师进行交流。该项目的一个重要因素是在项目生命周期内将资源从国家科学基金分阶段转移到机构支助。

9731321 Koke Southwest Texas State University provides a 60 month Teacher and Student Development Through Research Experience project. The project consists of two components. The first component provides research opportunities for up to 30 middle and high school teachers each year in the areas of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and technology. The teachers work with faculty scientists/mentors on current research projects during an 8-9 week summer experience and are supported to transfer elements of the research into classroom experiences for their students. The second component engages 18 high school students and up to 8 teachers each summer in courses and study leading to mathematics research. Teachers also study learning theory and research topics in order to develop modules incorporating mathematics research topics into their instruction. During the academic year student/teacher teams develop research projects and present them at a spring conference. Participants communicate electronically with each other and a university faculty mentor. An important element of the project is the phased shift of resources from NSF to institutional support over the project life.
