Connecting Mathematics for Elementary Teachers II (CMET II)

CMET II项目将未来小学教师在数学内容课程中的数学学习与儿童如何理解和学习数学联系起来。目标是1)提高职前教师对数学的理解，2)改善他们的数学教学，3)提高他们对儿童如何学习和理解数学的理解，4)帮助他们将他们正在学习的数学与他们将要教授的数学概念联系起来，5)促进他们理解他们所教的数学与儿童在初中和高中学习的数学和技术技能之间的联系。为了实现这些目标，正在为小学教师编写数学内容课程的教员补充材料和指南。形成性和总结性评估正在多个不同的测试地点进行。智力成就cmet II促进了关于儿童数学学习与教师学习的整合研究的知识，从而提供了一种机制来加强和研究内容与教学法的相互交织（Ball & Bass, 2000）。这个原始的方法是基于NSF概念验证拨款，CCLI-EMD DUE 0126882，它成功地生产了试点材料。更广泛的影响这个项目有可能对未来小学教师的准备产生重大影响，为他们提供深入的知识，让他们了解他们正在学习的学科如何与他们未来的教学联系起来。全国传播活动包括：期刊文章、会议报告和商业出版物。

The CMET II project is connecting learning of mathematics of prospective elementary teachers in mathematics content courses with how children understand and learn mathematics. The goals are to 1) enhance understanding of mathematics by pre-service teachers, 2) improve their teaching of mathematics, 3) improve their understanding of how children learn and understand mathematics, 4) help them connect the mathematics they are learning with the mathematical concepts they will be teaching, and 5) facilitate their understanding of connections between the mathematics they teach to the mathematics and technological skills children learn in middle and high school. To achieve these goals, supplementary materials and guides for instructors are being developed for mathematical content courses for elementary teachers. Formative and summative evaluations are being conducted at multiple and diverse test sites.Intellectual MeritCMET II advances knowledge on the integration of research on learning of mathematics by children with learning of teachers, thus providing a mechanism for enhancing and studying the interweaving of content and pedagogy (Ball & Bass, 2000). This original approach is based on the NSF proof-of-concept grant, CCLI-EMD DUE 0126882, which successfully produced pilot materials.Broader ImpactsThis project has the potential to significantly impact the preparation of future elementary teachers by providing them with in-depth knowledge of how the subject matter they are learning relates to their future teaching. National dissemination activities include: journal articles, conference presentations, and commercial publication.
