US-Norway Cooperative Workshop: Building from Prototypes: Learning and Teaching Mathematics in Collaboration

该奖项主要支持来自美国大学的青年教师和学生参加2003年在挪威奥斯陆大学合作举办的数学学习和教学研讨会。研讨会的目的是通过汇集来自丹麦、挪威、瑞典和美国的潜在合作者来规划和组织未来的数学教育研究。美国的参与者将来自杨百翰大学、北卡罗来纳州立大学、夏威夷大学、特拉华大学和罗格斯大学。外国研究人员将来自奥斯陆大学、奥尔胡斯大学（丹麦）、教师培训学院（丹麦）以及吕勒奥大学、克里斯蒂安斯塔德大学和隆德大学（瑞典）。参与者的共同研究目标是设计和实施合作的跨文化研究，旨在阐明教育工作者可以开发考虑学习者思维的教学方法的机制。通过建立对重要差异的相互认识，参与者将从不同的角度获益，从而充分利用替代方法、不同的传统和不同的教育设计。

0303660MaherThis award supports mainly junior faculty and students from US universities to participate in a workshop on learning and teaching mathematics in collaboration at the University of Oslo in Norway in 2003. The purpose of the workshop is to plan and organize future research in mathematic education by bringing together potential collaborators from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the US. The US participants will come from Brigham Young University, North Carolina State University, the University of Hawaii, the University of Delaware, and Rutgers. The foreign researchers will come from the University of Oslo, Arhus University (Denmark), Teacher Training College (Denmark), and the Universities of Lulea, Kristianstad, and Lund (Sweden). The common research goal of the participants is to design and implement collaborative, cross-cultural research aimed at articulating mechanisms through which educators can develop methods of instruction that take into account the learners' thinking. The participants will gain from the variety of perspectives by building mutual awareness of important differences, thereby making the most of alternate approaches, distinct traditions, and different educational designs.
