ASU Engineering and Education: DET Expansion for K-12 Teachers

建议编号：0230726研究人员：克劳奇，彼得堡大学名称：亚利桑那州立大学亚利桑那州立大学工程与教育学院：K-12教师的DET扩展摘要本研究的目的是为亚利桑那州立大学的学院工程与应用科学和教育学院成功地灌输设计/工程/技术(DET)概念，包括任职前和毕业后的教师教育经验的完整范围。该项目由工程学院领导，但包括教育学院的全面参与。来自两所学院的教职员工和管理人员将探索如何将DET注入教师教育的方方面面，并最终用于固定科学和数学教育的教学。该项目的目标包括：1)确定教师和大学教师在实施DET方面的课程和教学需要；2)开发一个以DET为基础的试点课程作为在课程中探索DET的研究工具；3)制定一套在教师教育中全面实施DET的建议；4)为DET的专业发展序列中的相应点开发模型；5)确定试点项目在教学实践、课程选择以及学生对DET和工程职业的理解方面的有效性；5)开发模式，通过方法课程和普通教育课程将DET扩展到职前教育。这项规划拨款的智力价值包括重新概念化教师教育中科学和数学部分的一部分，并将标准中所述的技术设计带入K-12科学和数学教学的前沿。

PROPOSAL NO.: 0230726PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Crouch, PeterINSTITUTION NAME: Arizona State UniversityTITLE: ASU Engineering and Education: DET Expansion for K-12 TeachersABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to position the College Engineering and AppliedSciences and the College of Education at Arizona State University for successful infusionof Design/Engineering/Technology (DET) concepts throughout the complete range ofteacher education experiences, including pre-service and post-baccalaureate programs.The project is led by the College of Engineering but includes the full participation of theCollege of Education. A team of faculty and administrators from both colleges willexplore ways in which DET can be infused into all aspects of teacher education andultimately used to anchor instruction in science and math education. Part of the team willdesign and teach a pilot course that will be used as a tool to conduct research and collectthe data needed to inform both engineering and education faculty on best ways ofincorporating DET concepts.The goals of the project include 1) identifying curricular and pedagogical needs ofteachers and university faculty for implementing DET, 2) developing a DET-based pilotcourse as a research tool for exploring DET in the curriculum, 3) crafting a set ofrecommendations for a comprehensive implementation of DET in teacher education, 4)developing models for the appropriate points in the professional development sequencefor DET, 5) determining the effectiveness of the pilot on instructional practices,curricular choices and student understanding of DET and engineering careers, and 5)developing models that extend DET to pre-service education through methods classesand general education courses.The intellectual merits of this planning grant include a re-conceptualizing part ofthe science and mathematics component of teacher education and bringing technologicaldesign, as addressed in the standards, to the forefront of k-12 science and mathematicsinstruction.
