GK-12 Learning Partnerships: Creating Problem Centered, Interdisciplinary Learning Environments

应主办学区的要求，由一名实习教师、一名大学教员、一名研究生和一名高级本科生组成的团队正在为中学生开发以问题为中心的跨学科学习环境，重点是数学在地球科学和工程中的应用。通过研讨会和课堂体验，该项目正在改善初高中学生的教学，为未来的教师和教师做准备。这些活动更广泛的影响包括：丰富本科生和研究生的教师准备经验，这些学生有兴趣将大学预科或大学教育作为潜在的职业；实践科学和数学教师在数学在地球科学和工程中的应用方面的内容、应用和跨学科知识；通过创造以问题为中心的跨学科学习环境，重点关注数学在地球科学与工程中的应用，为中学生提供学习体验。这个项目的部分支持来自数学和物理科学理事会。项目名称：GK-12学习伙伴关系：创造以问题为中心的跨学科学习环境机构：科罗拉多矿业学院PI/Co-PI: Barbara M.

At the request of the hosting school district, teams that include a practicing teacher, a college faculty member, a graduate student and an advanced undergraduate student are developing problem centered, interdisciplinary learning environments that focus on the application of mathematics to earth science and engineering for middle school students. Through workshops and classroom experiences, this project is improving the instruction of middle school and high school students and the preparation of future teachers and faculty. The broader impacts of these activities include enriching: the teacher preparation experiences of undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in pursuing pre-college or college education as a potential career; the content, application and interdisciplinary knowledge of practicing science and mathematics teachers with respect to the application of mathematics to earth science and engineering; the learning experience of middle school students by creating problem centered, interdisciplinary learning environments that focus on the application of mathematics to earth science and engineering. Part of the support for this project comes from the Directorate for Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
