Sample Modules for Mathematics Teacher Preparation Courses

数学科学（21）这个概念验证的建议是开发两个，四周的样本模块，旨在证明材料的可行性。这些模块来自为小学教师准备的两门数学课程。这些课程是一个成功的“学习在一个学科”计划的一部分，导致超过三分之一的伊利诺伊大学芝加哥（UIC）的小学教育专业毕业的数学教学专业。每个模块还与UIC在NSF支持下开发的国家认可的教学材料密切相关。这些单元将用来帮助为拟订完整的建议奠定基础，包括征聘实地试验地点和一名出版商，目前正在拟订两个单元，并从2000年夏季开始在国际学院进行为期一年的实地试验。第一个模块的重点是整合数学和科学，是从教学综合数学和科学（TIMS）项目开发的材料建设。该单元将于2000年夏季开发，并在秋季学期进行实地测试。第二个模块侧重于几何和几何测量，与UIC数学机动（MWM）项目开发的材料相关。该单元正在2000年秋季开发，并将在春季学期进行实地测试。每个单元都包括学生的教材、评估材料和教师指南--全部以光盘格式编写。除了将其用作更大的开发提案的原型之外，正在编写这些模块，以便它们可以作为数学教师准备课程的独立单元进行传播。

Mathematical Sciences (21)This Proof-of-Concept proposal is to develop two, four-week sample modules that are intended to demonstrate the feasibility of materials. The modules are from two mathematics courses designed for the preparation of elementary school teachers. These courses are part of a successful "study-in-one discipline" program that results in over one-third of University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)'s elementary education majors graduating with a specialization in teaching mathematics. Each module is also closely linked to nationally-recognized instructional materials developed at UIC with NSF support. The modules will be used to help lay the groundwork for development of the full proposal, including recruitment of field test sites and a publisher.Two modules are being developed and field tested at UIC over a one year period beginning in summer 2000. The first module is focusing on integrating mathematics and science and is building from materials developed by the Teaching Integrated Mathematics and Science (TIMS) Project. This module will be developed in summer 2000 and field tested during the fall semester. The second module, which focuses on geometry and geometric measurement, is associated with materials developed by the UIC Maneuvers with Mathematics (MWM) Project. This module is being developed during the Fall 2000 and will be field tested in the spring semester. Each module includes student text materials, assessment materials, and instructor's guides-all prepared in CD-ROM format. In addition to their use as a prototype for the larger development proposal, the modules are being written so that they can be disseminated as standalone units in mathematics teacher preparation courses.
