Reform Of Preservice Science Education: An Example From A State-Supported University, R. Adams, G. L. Stringer Jan 1999

Reform Of Preservice Science Education: An Example From A State-Supported University, R. Adams, G. L. Stringer

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

The ongoing movement to reform the teaching and learning of mathematics and science began as an effort targeting grades K-12. This movement, however, also has significant implications for institutions of higher education, especially in the area of teacher preparation. Northeast Louisiana University has utilized an extensive system of support, including vital National Science Foundation funding, to redesign its science curriculum for elementary education majors. Four courses featuring the content areas of biology, chemistry, geosciences, and physics and integrated with respect to content and methodology were collaboratively developed by education and science faculty. and were approved as requirements for all preservice …

A Summer Academy Program For Prospective Teachers: Model Teaching Experiences, M. Neathery Jan 1999

A Summer Academy Program For Prospective Teachers: Model Teaching Experiences, M. Neathery

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This article describes the project, A Summer Academy Program for Prospective Teachers: Model Teaching Experiences, of the Oklahoma Teacher Education Collaborative (O-TEC), one of the nation’s Collaboratives for Excellence in Teacher Preparation (CETP). To recruit highly qualified teachers in science and mathematics, O-TEC institutions promote a program of summer academies that provide prospective teachers with opportunities to become familiar with effective teaching methods. During the academy, high school juniors and seniors explore inquiry-based teaching strategies, exemplary curricula, science and math content, and state and national standards in math and science education-all under the tutelage of mentor teachers, a Master-Teacher-in- Residence, …

Educational Research Abstracts, G. Bass Jr. Jan 1999

Educational Research Abstracts, G. Bass Jr.

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Editors' Note: As noted in previous issues of the Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations, the purpose of this Educational Research Abstract section is to present current published research on issues relevant to math and science teaching at both the K-12 and college levels. Because educational research articles are published in so many different academic journals, it is a rare public school teacher or college professor who reads all the recent published reports on a particular instructional technique or curricular advancement. Indeed, the uniqueness of various pedagogical strategies has been tacitly acknowledged by the creation of individual journals dedicated …

Integrating Multimedia Techniques Into Cs Pedagogy, Sandra Honda, Richard Jou, Ahmad Nasri, Anne-Louise Radimsky, Bon K. Sy Jan 1999

Integrating Multimedia Techniques Into Cs Pedagogy, Sandra Honda, Richard Jou, Ahmad Nasri, Anne-Louise Radimsky, Bon K. Sy

School of Computer Science & Engineering Faculty Publications

Through its grants, the National Science Foundation sponsors workshops that inform faculty of current topics in Computer Science. Such a workshop, entitled, "Developing Multimedia-based Interactive Laboratory Modules for Computer Science", was given July 27 -August 6, 1998, at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois. Each participant was expected to design and implement a small part of a laboratory module. This paper describes what some of the faculty members who participated in the workshop have done with the knowledge obtained from the workshop.

Accepting The Challenges: The Emerging Role Of Grand Rapids Community College In Preparation Of New Teachers, J. Hesse Jan 1998

Accepting The Challenges: The Emerging Role Of Grand Rapids Community College In Preparation Of New Teachers, J. Hesse

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

In 1992, Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) was one of six community colleges invited to participate in a NSF initiative to improve science and mathematics teaching within the state of Michigan. This initiative included all public teacher preparation institutions in the state. GRCC has responded to this challenge by: (1) designing a new course in Physical Science for future teachers; (2) creating the GRCC Teacher Education Pathway and the GRCC Teacher Education Center; (3) forming a local alliance with Grand Rapids Public Schools and Grand Valley State University for the purpose of recruiting and supporting minorities in mathematics and science …

Pre-Education Programs: A Comprehensive Project At Henry Ford Community College, D. Zopf, L. Smyrski Jan 1998

Pre-Education Programs: A Comprehensive Project At Henry Ford Community College, D. Zopf, L. Smyrski

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

Henry Ford Community College (HFCC) in Dearbom, Michigan is a two-year institution of higher education serving a diverse student population of approximately 13,000 students. In addition to providing a broad array of technical and vocational programs, the College provides the first two years of a baccalaureate program. However, the transferability of these programs is not assured. In the absence of a mandated state-wide curriculum, two- and four-year colleges and universities in Michigan develop courses and programs independently, and the transfer of courses between institutions is determined independently by the respective departments. The end result is often loss of credit when …

Learning To Understand: Mathematical Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, M. Hannigan, V. Preston Jan 1998

Learning To Understand: Mathematical Preparation Of Prospective Teachers, M. Hannigan, V. Preston

Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations

This paper describes the development of a two-course sequence in mathematics content for prospective elementary teachers. Community college and university personnel collaborated to develop a course sequence that would prepare prospective elementary teachers to teach mathematics with an understanding of concepts to support their abstract mathematical knowledge. The strategy was to begin with a broad vision and then focus on the smaller pieces which would achieve that vision. The course changes are validated by documents published by various educational and mathematical groups advocating an increased emphasis on teaching for understanding rather than rote learning. Significant change is difficult without support …
