Mathematics In Hands-On Science For Liberal Arts Students, M. I. Sobel Jan 2000

Mathematics In Hands-On Science For Liberal Arts Students, M. I. Sobel

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

We describe a number of experiments from the courses called, General Science 9, part of the science program for elementary education majors at Brooklyn College. These courses provide hands-on learning experiences for students who are insecure and weak in science and mathematics. Quantitative thinking is a central element in most of the students’ work. Mathematics is taught in a concrete and intuitive way, as a direct outgrowth of their needs; first, in analysis of data, and second, in discovering underlying theory. The science program has been developed through cooperation among faculty from the School of Education and the science departments.

A General Chemistry Course For Prospective Elementary School Teachers, M. S. Lazarus Jan 2000

A General Chemistry Course For Prospective Elementary School Teachers, M. S. Lazarus

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The paper describes a general chemistry course designed for students who are planning to become elementary school teachers. The course has been structured so as to transmit the fun and excitement of experiencing chemistry and uncovering its basic principles by centering on laboratory and other discovery experiences. In addition, the course uses peer led workshops in which the students discuss these experiences. The course is thus a product of a particularly strong collaboration between public schools and college faculties. It is going to become a part of a new four-course sequence that will be required of all students intending to …

Active Learning In Sophomore Mathematics: A Cautionary Tale, M. Eisenberg Jan 2000

Active Learning In Sophomore Mathematics: A Cautionary Tale, M. Eisenberg

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Math 245: Multivariate Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations with Computer I is the first half of a year-long sophomore sequence that emphasizes the subjects' interconnections and grounding in real-world applications. The sequence is aimed primarily at students from physical and mathematical sciences and engineering. In Fall, 1998, as a result of my affiliation with the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Teacher Education Collaborative (STEMTEC), I continued and extended previously-introduced reforms in Math 245, including: motivating mathematical ideas with real-world phenomena; student use of computer technology; and, learning by discovery and experimentation. I also introduced additional pedagogical strategies for more …

Mathematics Without Lectures: Small-Group Learning At New York University, A. Adler Jan 2000

Mathematics Without Lectures: Small-Group Learning At New York University, A. Adler

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This article describes an effort to introduce small-group learning into the mathematics curriculum for the non-specialist at New York University. Starting in spring 1999, students were offered the choice of fulfilling their mathematics requirement in a small-group environment that included no formal lectures. The goal of these groups is to make the transition from relatively inactive, even passive, lectures to an experience that actively engages students in the process of doing mathematics. Contact time was restricted to two weekly classes run by a graduate student and was limited to enrollments of 15-16 students. The course is a small-group version of …

The Use Of Project-Based Learning In A Technology Course For Math And Science Teachers, B. Murfin Jan 2000

The Use Of Project-Based Learning In A Technology Course For Math And Science Teachers, B. Murfin

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

In this project, pre- and in-service math and science teachers used project-based learning to learn the complex skills involved in integrating technology into math and science teaching. The teachers in the course E36.1002: Microcomputer Applications in Math and Science Instruction in the Department of Teaching & Learning at New York University developed a four-week curriculum that integrates math, science, and technology using a common theme chosen by the teachers. The program has received very positive feedback from all participants and may be expanded in the future. Some recommendations are provided on how field experience in teaching with technology can be …

A Case Study Of An Online Science Fair- The International Cyberscience Expo 2000 (Ice2000), B. Murfin Jan 2000

A Case Study Of An Online Science Fair- The International Cyberscience Expo 2000 (Ice2000), B. Murfin

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The International CyberScience Expo 2000 is a project that promotes project-based, science learning by secondary students. The event was organized and held entirely online in a collaborative virtual learning environment called ScienceMOO. It was found that ScienceMOO had great advantages and disadvantages as a tool for organizing and staging synchronous online events involving large numbers of people. Scheduling of online, synchronous meetings between the students and judges was very challenging. However, when judges did manage to meet with students, many beneficial interactions resulted.

Bridging The Gap Between Schools And Non-Formal Science Institutions: Using New York City's Non-Formal Resources To Teach Science, P. Fraser-Abder Jan 2000

Bridging The Gap Between Schools And Non-Formal Science Institutions: Using New York City's Non-Formal Resources To Teach Science, P. Fraser-Abder

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Effective science teaching and learning needs to take place in an environment in which the formal and non-formal worlds of science combine their expertise and resources. Science learning and ultimately, scientific literacy for all depends on the teaching that occurs both in schools and in non-formal settings. As we move towards the attainment of scientific literacy for all, it is becoming more imperative that we recognize and utilize the media, industry education programs, non-formal science centers, museums, and other science learning outlets as valuable segments of our nation’s science education infrastructure. This paper describes the context, rationale, and outline of …

Use Of The World Wide Web In Mathematics Instruction, A. Lewis

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Many mathematics instructors may find they can use the World Wide Web to distribute information and facilitate discussion and interaction in their classrooms, while actually reducing their administrative workload. Here is a discussion of some of the benefits (including better student understanding!) which an instructor might enjoy from taking the plunge.

An Introduction To Stemtec And "Pathways To Change", C. D'Avanzo, R. F. Yuretich Jan 2000

An Introduction To Stemtec And "Pathways To Change", C. D'Avanzo, R. F. Yuretich

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

STEMTEC is the Massachusetts Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation. The first step in preparing future teachers is to have them experience effective teaching in college science and mathematics courses. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Teacher Education Collaborative (STEMTEC) summer institutes familiarized 150 faculty members with a variety of teaching strategies recommended in the National Science Teaching Standards. These faculty incorporated the techniques into one or more of their courses during subsequent academic years, and many of them reported on their progress during a research conference, "Pathways to Change," which STEMTEC sponsored in the summer of 2000. Eleven papers, …

The Write Approach To Mathematics Or How I Found The Middle Way, R. H. Ring Jan 2000

The Write Approach To Mathematics Or How I Found The Middle Way, R. H. Ring

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Revising a course is a multifaceted process. Often, reform efforts are focused on a particular aspect, that of inquiry-based collaborative learning. This article discusses the implementation of another aspect of the reform of a course for pre-service elementary teachers: the use of journals and writing exercises for evaluation and assessment. The evolution of this particular reform is traced, with emphasis on the reactions of students and faculty, the issues raised by these reactions, and the solution and resolution attained by the author is outlined.
