Learning to Learn About Science Teaching: Building Analysis of Practice into Pre-service Teacher Education

这个为期五年的项目将开发六个视频案例模块，用于K-8职前教师准备计划。 模块将针对特定的等级带（K-3，4-5或6-8）和地址基于标准的内容域。 每个模块都旨在帮助未来的教师加深他们的内容知识，教学技能和分析学生思维的能力。 视频案例将说明改革课堂实践和更传统的教学，包括与教师和学生的访谈，并纳入一套分析任务，促进用户对案例的批判性观察。 主要研究人员通过对TIMSS视频的分析和科学教师教育方面的丰富研究经验，为项目带来了专业知识。

This five-year project will develop six video-case modules for use in K-8 pre-service teacher preparation programs. Modules will be directed toward specific grade bands (K-3, 4-5, or 6-8) and address standards-based content domains. Each module is intended to help future teachers deepen their content knowledge, pedagogic skills and ability to analyze student thinking. The video cases will illustrate both reform classroom practices and more traditional instruction, include interviews with teachers and students and incorporate a set of analytic tasks that promote users' critical observations of the cases. The Principal Investigators bring to the project an expertise acquired through their analyses of the TIMSS videos and extensive prior research experience in science teacher education.
