Providing Early Childhood Pre-Service Teachers With Increased Science Content Knowledge And Effective Teaching Strategies: A Two Year Project, Lyndall Muschell, Holley Roberts, Christine Mutiti
Providing Early Childhood Pre-Service Teachers With Increased Science Content Knowledge And Effective Teaching Strategies: A Two Year Project, Lyndall Muschell, Holley Roberts, Christine Mutiti
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
This presentation explores the results of a two-year project with pre-service teachers which focused primarily on providing increased knowledge of science concepts, effective strategies, and use of resources to improve science instruction while increasing confidence for the teaching of science.
Paper 4: Basic Skills Testing In Math 2008, Susie M. Lanier, Sharon Taylor, Donna B. Saye
Paper 4: Basic Skills Testing In Math 2008, Susie M. Lanier, Sharon Taylor, Donna B. Saye
Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (GAMTE) Annual Conference
Math 2008 is an Area F course for early childhood majors in the University System of Georgia. The course covers basic skills that pre-service teachers will most likely be teaching in their career. At Georgia Southern University, many students in the course do not possess or have forgotten these basic skills. In Fall 2009, a basic skills test was implemented for Math 2008. Students must earn a score of 90 or higher on the test in order to pass the course. The test not only serves to let students know their areas of weakness, but also informs the instructor’s teaching. …
Paper 3: Actively Engaging Pre-Service Teachers In Geometry And Measurement, Kadian M. Callahan
Paper 3: Actively Engaging Pre-Service Teachers In Geometry And Measurement, Kadian M. Callahan
Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (GAMTE) Annual Conference
Current work in mathematics education suggests that the learning experiences in which teachers engage during undergraduate study influences their knowledge of and beliefs about mathematics and the ways in which they will teach (Allen, et. al., 2008; CBMS, 2001; Hill, Rowan, & Ball, 2005; National Research Council, 2001). However, very little is known about pre-service teachers’ learning experiences and how those experiences influence their thinking about mathematics teaching and learning. The classroom excerpt described here attempts to illuminate how pre-service, elementary teachers’ active engagement in the learning of geometry and measurement influences their mathematical power: a positive disposition toward mathematics, …
Paper 3: Using Technology To Design Teaching Modules In Mathematics And Science, Ollie Irons Manley
Paper 3: Using Technology To Design Teaching Modules In Mathematics And Science, Ollie Irons Manley
Georgia Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (GAMTE) Annual Conference
Technology is changing the way in which mathematics and science are taught, and this radical transformation in teaching is causing teachers to take a closer look at how lessons are designed. In an effort to demonstrate how to design instructional modules using technology, this paper will include the following: 1)A review of the National Educational Technology Standards for teachers to establish a framework for the development of the teaching modules; 2)instructional designs and techniques with special emphasis on multiple intelligence and critical thinking skills; 3) strategies and techniques for infusing technology into a standard based curriculum; and 4) an analysis …
