Using TIMSS Videos to Improve Learning of Mathematics: A Conference to be Convened at the Wingspread Conference Center, Racine, Wisconsin, summer, 2004

该项目的主要目标——利用TIMSS视频改善数学学习——是通过努力使数学课程更易于管理和对教师专业连续体的所有成员（数学家、高等教育数学教育者、K-12数学教育者和专业开发人员）更有用，支持将高质量的研究成果整合到数学教育实践中。在威斯康星州拉辛市的Wingspread会议中心，24位数学家、高等教育数学教育者和K-12数学教育者将分析28个公开发布的数学课程，通过为期四天的工作会议来实现这一目标。通过小组合作，小组成员将在确定视频片段方面达成共识，这些视频片段说明了高质量和连贯的数学教学。在工作会议期间收集的数据将用于编制一份指南，暂定名为“1999年TIMSS视频学习指南：数学”，以配合1999年TIMSS公开发布的数学课程。

The Theory: Research into PracticeThe primary objective of this project--Using TIMSS Videos to Improve Learning of Mathematics-- is to support the integration of high-quality research findings into mathematics educational practice by working to make the mathematics lessons more manageable and useful to all members of the teacher professional continuum: mathematicians, IHE mathematics educators, K-12 mathematics educators and professional developers.The Actual Meeting: Who, What, When and WhereThe objective will be accomplished through a four-day work session at the Wingspread Conference Center in Racine, Wisconsin, during which 24 mathematicians, higher education mathematics educators, and K-12 mathematics educators will analyze the 28 public release mathematics lessons. Working in teams, the group will come to consensus in identifying video clips that illustrate quality and coherent mathematics teaching and learning. The data collected during the work session will be used to develop a guide, tentatively called the "TIMSS 1999 Video Study Guide: Mathematics," to accompany the TIMSS 1999 public release mathematics lessons.
