Noyce Mathematics Education Teaching Scholars at NC State University

诺伊斯数学教育教学学者计划(Noyce Mets)旨在增加北卡罗来纳州立大学(NCSU)数学科学专业和数学教育专业的高素质数学教师数量，该专业强调教学内容和教学内容知识，以建立对教学所需数学的理解。这些学者准备成为技术创新的领导者，以提高学生在数学课堂上的理解，并致力于与高需求学校的学生合作。Noyce Mets项目的一个目标是增加攻读数学或统计学学士学位和数学教育学士学位的双学位本科生的数量--这是北卡罗来纳州立大学目前提供的选项。Noyce Mets计划还使拥有数学科学学士或硕士学位的STEM专业人员能够获得9-12个数学执照，要么通过仅获得执照的途径获得初始执照，要么通过硕士课程获得初步和高级执照。该项目支持17名本科生诺伊斯奖学金获得者和15名毕业后奖学金获得者。在参加北卡罗来纳州立大学方案期间，诺伊斯学者组织专门的研讨会，利用数学教育、数学和统计系以及教育学院的专业知识。研讨会的重点是利用技术教授数学(特别是几何、微积分和统计学)、课堂上的文化和多样性，以及农村和城市环境中的教学问题。该项目的设计有目的地帮助教师发展强大的学科知识、教学内容知识和专门的数学知识用于教学。NCSU的数学教育计划包括来自数学科学系的高质量、严谨的内容课程的强大组成部分，并要求数学教育课程远远超过大多数机构所要求的数量。数学教育课程集数学教与学的研究与数学教育具体的教学内容知识于一体。

The Noyce Mathematics Education Teaching Scholars (Noyce METS) aims to increase the number of highly qualified mathematics teachers prepared at North Carolina State University (NCSU) with a major in a mathematical science and a major in mathematics education that emphasizes content and pedagogical content knowledge in a way that builds understanding of mathematics needed for teaching. These scholars are prepared to become leaders in technological innovation to improve student understanding in mathematics classrooms, and are committed to working with students in high-needs schools. One goal of the Noyce METS program is to increase the number of undergraduate students pursuing a double major that results in a B.S. in Mathematics or Statistics and a B.S. in Mathematics Education -- an option currently available at NC State. The Noyce METS program also enables STEM professionals with a bachelors or masters degree in a mathematical science to earn 9-12 mathematics licensure, either through a licensure only track to earn an initial license, or through a masters program where they earn initial and advanced licensure. The project is supporting 17 undergraduate Noyce Scholars and 15 post-baccalaureate Scholars. During their participation in the NC State programs, the Noyce Scholars engage in special seminars which draw upon the expertise of faculty in the Mathematics Education, Mathematics and Statistics Departments, and the College of Education. Seminars highlight uses of technology for teaching mathematics (particularly in Geometry, Calculus, and Statistics), culture and diversity in the classroom, and issues of teaching in rural and urban settings. The design of the project is purposeful in helping teachers develop strong content knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and specialized mathematical knowledge for teaching. The NCSU Mathematics Education program includes a strong component of high quality, rigorous content courses from the mathematical sciences departments and requires mathematics education courses that, by far, exceed the number required at most institutions. The mathematics education courses integrate research on teaching and learning mathematics and the pedagogical content knowledge specific to mathematics education.
