Designing inquiry-based courses in Mathematics and Physics

许多中小学教师按照他们所教的方式授课。在5月份的情况下，这会导致盲目地遵循一本给定的教科书。对学习文件的研究提高了积极参与学习过程的学生对课程材料的保留。该项目的重点是为教师培训方案开发数学和科学方面的新课程，以促进学生积极参与学习。新课程整合了数学和科学的内容，通过实例向职前教师传授探究式教学技术的使用和好处，作为其教师教育计划的组成部分。该项目分别建立在国家和全州范围内成功的物理和数学倡议的基础上。课程的设计使用了预试的结果，以确定普遍的先入为主的概念，并确定要纳入的主题。课程材料在俄亥俄州立大学的两个校区的教师教育项目中进行了试点测试。

Many elementary and secondary school teachers teach as they have been taught. In may cases, this results in following a given textbook slavishly. Research on learning documents improved retention of course material by students actively involved in the learning process. This project focuses on the development of new curricula in mathematics and science for teacher preparation programs which promotes active student involvement in learning. Integrating the content of mathematics and science, the new curricula teaches pre-service teachers the use and benefits of proven techniques of inquiry-based instruction as an integral part of their teacher education program by example. The project builds on the successful physics and mathematical initiatives nationally and statewide, respectively. The curricula are designed using the results of the pretests to determine prevalent preconceptions and to define topics for inclusion. Course materials are pilot tested in teacher education programs on two campuses of The Ohio State University.
