Conference 2008 - Integrating Science and Mathematics Education Research into Teaching IV: Resources and Tool for Improved Learning

缅因大学科学与数学教育中心继续举办一系列全国会议，为将数学和科学教育研究整合到教学中提供专业发展和资源。会议的第一部分包括由国家认可的专家进行的为期三天的平行介绍和讨论以及简短的讲习班。这些研讨会提供了基于研究的STEM课程或尖端STEM研究项目的第一手经验，可以作为课堂教学的基础。会议的目的包括将来自STEM教育各个方面的150名参与者（研究人员、教师、管理人员和职前学生）聚集在一起，就研究、课程和评估交换意见，帮助教师将基于研究的教学策略整合到教学中，并在参与者之间建立可持续的合作。会议的第二部分是一个为期两天的暑期学院，约60名参与者可以选择(1)在他们的课堂上实施一个技术丰富的课程模块；(2)制定计划、课程材料和评估，让教师和学生参与STEM研究项目；或者(3)在教学中适应和实施研究型课程。学院全年都在继续。所有活动都注重以研究为基础的战略，促进代表性不足群体的成功参与。

The Center for Science and Mathematics Education at the University of Maine continues its series of national conferences on providing professional development and resources for integrating mathematics and science education research into teaching. The first part of the conference consists of three days of parallel presentations and discussions by nationally recognized experts along with short workshops. The workshops provide first hand experience with either research-based STEM curricula or cutting edge STEM research projects that can serve as a basis for classroom instruction. The purposes of the conference include bringing together 150 participants in all aspects of STEM education (researchers, teachers, administrators, and preservice students) to exchange ideas about research, curriculum and assessment, to help teachers integrate research based instructional strategies in their teaching, and to build sustainable collaborations between participants. The second part of the conference is a two day summer academy in which about 60 participants have the option of (1) working on implementing a module of technology-rich curriculum in their classroom; (2) developing plans, curricular materials and assessments for involving teachers and students in a STEM research project; or (3) adapting and implementing a research-supported curriculum in their teaching. The academy continues throughput the year. A focus on research-based strategies that advance the successful participation of underrepresented groups is embedded in all activities.
