Physics Teacher Education Coalition (PhysTEC)

国家需要培养训练有素、受过更好教育的物理和科学教师。PhysTEC项目是APS、AIP和AAPT的一项努力，旨在改善一系列选定的小学计划机构(PPI)物理系的教师准备工作。PI项目将与六个PPI合作，改变大学一级教授职前教师课程的方式，并通过利用专业协会的影响力和影响力，在这些校园的物理和教育部门之间架起桥梁，最终在全国各地架起桥梁。这一建议的努力是一个重要的机会，可以显著改变教师的教育方式，并鼓励他们继续进行科学教育。该提案将让内容--人和方法--的人合作解决各种机构中遇到的问题，并将关注在科学教育中经常被忽视的问题。该提案将涉及以融合教学知识和教育学的方式组织对未来教师的培训。同样重要的是，科学教师和教育学院教师可以合作的机制，为未来的科学教师提供教育、鼓励和指导。

There is a National need to develop better-trained and educated physics and science teachers. The PhysTEC project is an effort of the APS, AIP, and AAPT, to improve teacher preparation within physics departments at a set of selected Primary Program Institutions (PPIs). The project PI's will work with six PPIs to produce a change in the way courses for pre-service teachers are taught at the university level and, by leveraging the clout and influence of professional associations, bridges will be built between physics and education departments on these campuses and eventually across the country. The efforts of this proposal are an important opportunity to make significant changes in the way teacher are taught and encouraged to continue with science education. The proposal will involve both content-people and methods-people in cooperatively attacking problems encountered in the various institutions and would give attention to what has often been overlooked in science education. The proposal will deal with structuring the training of prospective teachers in ways that integrate content knowledge and pedagogy. Also important are the mechanisms by which science faculty and school of education faculty can collaborate toward educating, encouraging and mentoring prospective science teachers for the future.
