Reform Of Preservice Science Education: An Example From A State-Supported University, R. Adams, G. L. Stringer
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 …
Demonstrations For Children Of All Age- The Cork Canon, S. Thornton
Demonstrations For Children Of All Age- The Cork Canon, S. Thornton
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
Demonstrations are one of the most useful techniques for teaching science to anyone, regardless of age. Demonstrations attract attention and normally make the observer want to learn more about what is happening. This paper reports on The Cork Cannon, one of the favorite demonstrations done in the demonstration road show, Phun Physics, that travels to schools within about 60 miles of Charlottesville. The Department of Physics and the Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education sponsor this demonstration show, which was seen by about 8000 persons during the last school year. Although quite simple, the Cork Cannon demonstration is rich …
Using Technology As A Vehicle To Appropriately Integrate Mathematics And Science Instruction For The Middle School, M. M. Mason, R. N. Giese
Using Technology As A Vehicle To Appropriately Integrate Mathematics And Science Instruction For The Middle School, M. M. Mason, R. N. Giese
Journal of Mathematics and Science: Collaborative Explorations
At the College of William and Mary, pre-service middle school science and mathematics teachers enroll in their respective methods courses taught in the same time period. Both instructors emphasize the importance of the content pedagogy unique to their disciplines in their individual courses such as strategies for teaching problem solving, computation, proportional reasoning, algebraic and geometric thinking in mathematics, and strategies for teaching students how to "investigate" or design and conduct experiments in science. However, the two classes come together for sessions in which they examine the relationship of the two disciplines and the proper role of technology, both graphing …

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.
