The aim of the Primary and Early Childhood Science and Technology Education Project (PECSTEP) is to improve teaching and learning
in science and technology of by increasing the number of early childhood and primary teachers who are effective educators.
PECSTEP is based on an interactive model of teaching and systematically links work on gender with the learning and teaching
of science and technology. The project involves: a year-long inservice program which includes the development of a science
curriculum unit by teachers in their schools; linking of the preservice and inservice programs; and the development of support
networks for teachers. Each phase of PECSTEP has been researched by means of surveys, interviews and the use of diaries. Research
questions have focussed particularly on changes in: teachers’ and student teachers’ attitudes to teaching science and technology;
their perceptions of science and technology; their perceptions of their students’ responses and their understandings of how
gender relates to these areas.

One strategy for implementing learner-centered teaching is through the preparation of teachers and their induction into the
profession. This article presents case studies of three secondary science teachers that follow them from their science teacher
education program that advocated teaching for conceptual change as one approach to learner-centered teaching into their first
years of teaching. The article’s purpose is to describe the teachers’ initial conceptions of teaching science carried over
from their teacher preparation program, and how they integrated those conceptions with the environmental influences of their
classrooms and schools to produce praxis. Data were collected from the participants in several different ways during the participants’
pre-service year and during their first year or two of teaching: Observation of the participants’ teaching; related interviews
with participants; and their action research journals. As they approached the end of their first or second year of teaching,
all three teachers demonstrated increased levels of confidence in their teaching competence, both in their classroom performance
and their places in their departments and schools. None of them had, however, fully implemented conceptual change teaching
approach that was the specific goal of their teacher preparation program. 相似文献

The technological revolution that has finally permeated K-12 education has direct implications for modern teacher educators
whose “Hippocratic oath” is to best prepare future teachers for twenty-first-century classrooms. The goal of this article
is to suggest that the heart of sound technological implementation is to encourage students to use whatever tools are available
to explain the mathematical relations that underlie what they observe on the screen. We suggest ways in which Mishra and Koehler’s
construct of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge may be customized to provide a framework for guiding prospective
teachers’ efforts to develop and assess lesson plans that use technology in novel and effective ways. Data are presented in
the form of two contrasting case studies to illustrate the differing degrees to which prospective mathematics teachers leveraged
technology to teach themselves and their future students to explain the mathematics behind various topics. 相似文献

As early childhood education becomes more regulated through a range of education reforms and mandates, early childhood teacher
educators are seeking ways to prepare their preservice teachers to address these policy constraints through appropriate teaching
practices that foster learning with understanding. Using the National Research Council’s conception of learning as a framework
for analysis, this article considers strategies to achieve this goal by first presenting findings from a case study that examined
the training of a sample of preservice teachers who were both educated in high-stakes learning classrooms as well as taught
to be early educators in these same environments. This article then uses these findings to the make case for practical and
political approaches to teaching that can assist teacher educators in preparing their students for this regulated field of
early education. 相似文献

This article explores the meaning of child-centeredness in Early Childhood Education (ECE), by shedding light on the nuanced
tensions between teacher control and children’s freedom. While ECE professionals advocate the importance of children’s individual
interests and needs in education, they diverge somewhat in their perspectives about the teacher’s role in education. This
article manifests and tries to resolve this teaching dilemma through incorporating the related theories (Piaget, Vygotsky,
Dewey, and Montessori) upholding and encompassing child-centeredness. The author contends that high teacher control and high
children’s freedom are not exclusive of one another: children’s freedom is defined in an active way, as freedom to participate,
rather than in a passive way, as freedom from any constrains. The paper concludes with a metaphor of “impressionist painting”,
which may offer some insights helpful to those who have struggled with the tension between teacher control and children’s
freedom in the context of progressive and critical pedagogy. 相似文献

This project explores how one early childhood preparation program integrated applied ethics in introductory coursework. Recognizing
that students enter teacher education with well-formed values and beliefs regarding children and teaching, carefully planned
learning experience and encounters in real life learning contexts expand their understanding of the complexity of ethical
decision-making in early care and education programs. This project documents students’ perspectives toward their role as meaning-makers
through the analysis of assignments intended to promote reflection on values. As students engage with course content and gain
practical experience, their knowledge and beliefs regarding teaching evolve together demonstrating the power of ethical thinking
in enhancing early childhood teacher education. The findings indicate that students draw on their image of children, social
justice, and self-awareness in their development of a professional ethical identity. 相似文献

This article presents the results of an investigation carried out across 20+ country-regions under the auspices of ICMI Study
15 into the structures, approaches and general characteristics of the mathematics preparation and development of teachers.
We use a global framework provided by the larger research literature on teacher education to contextualize the findings. The
article provides an analytic perspective on (a) teacher education systems’ characteristics including institutional arrangements
and regulations; (b) teacher’s recruitment, selection, and credentials; (c) teacher education programs’ structure and approaches;
(d) teacher educators’ characteristics; and (e) the structure and content of the curriculum. This article highlights the important
differences and similarities across systems that provide mathematics education and development to teachers. This article concludes
with a discussion on implications for future empirical research on mathematics teacher education. 相似文献

Abstract This discussion explores challenges that college of education faculty members in the United States encountered when developing and implementing technology standards for students. The goal of this research project was to gain an understanding of faculty members' experience with technology, particularly in the context of implementing standards in response to the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education requirements for teacher education academic programs. Findings of this qualitative, naturalistic research project revealed a number of faculty concerns regarding technology in teaching and standards for students, including technology's impacts on communication and relationships in teaching, and anxiety around technology use. The discussion concludes with implications for practice and suggestions for further research 相似文献

The use of electronic portfolios is increasingly becoming popular in teacher education programs. The electronic portfolio
allows learners to express their work and take ownership over their own ability to plan and assess and reflect upon their
learning during a specific period of time. While many teacher education programs have adopted electronic portfolios in order
to meet accreditation requirements, others use electronic portfolios to develop and improve on students’ technology skills—train
students on how to better use technology in instruction and student assessment. Irrespective of the reasons for adoption,
there is the need to assess students’ perceptions of electronic portfolios, and especially to explore the benefits and challenges
students face in using electronic portfolios in their course work. Using a qualitative research design, the current study
explored teacher candidates’ attitudes toward electronic portfolios and the differences that electronic portfolios bring to
their profession. Such a study is necessary to help administrators identify students’ needs to ensure that they are gaining
the maximum benefits from the use of electronic portfolios in their programs of study. 相似文献

In this article, we present a case study of a beginning science teacher’s year-long action research project, during which
she developed a meaningful grasp of learning from practice. Wendy was a participant in the middle grade science program designed
for career changers from science professions who had moved to teaching middle grade science. An extended action research experience
in the second year of induction proved valuable to her in learning how to modify her teaching to reach her goal, using evidence
of student learning as her guide. This article closes with reflections on the value of extended action research within science
teacher preparation, particularly early in one’s career, and explores the promise for ongoing practice-based professional
development throughout a teacher’s career. 相似文献

In this conceptual paper, we provide a heuristic that organizes dispositions in a manner that is useful for prospective teachers and teacher educators. The heuristic is organized around three domains of dispositions – intellectual, cultural, and moral. We use a small sample of teacher candidate journal entries to ground the discussion of each disposition domain. Our goal is to explore how teacher candidates are inclined to think through issues of content and pedagogy, the cultural backgrounds of their students, and the values driving their moral reasoning. A significant part of this exploration includes examining teacher candidate assumptions. We offer recommendations for how teacher education programs can provide opportunities for prospective teachers to consider their dispositions and to identify how their dispositions influence teaching decisions. 相似文献

The findings presented in this article were derived from a 3- year study aimed at examining issues associated with the use of computers for secondary mathematics learning in Victorian (Australia) schools. Gender and other equity factors were of particular interest. In this article, the focus is on the participating mathematics teachers. Data on their perceived competence levels with technology, and their use of and beliefs about computers for their male and female students’ mathematics learning were gathered. A clear majority of teachers felt comfortable about, and did use, computers for teaching mathematics, and believed that computers helped students’ mathematical learning. Generally, the teachers considered boys to be more confident and capable than girls with computers. The results have implications for pre-service education programs and for the professional development of practicing secondary mathematics teachers.Various findings included in this article have been presented at a range of mathematics education conferences including: AAMT (2003), MAV (2003), and ICME 10 (2004). 相似文献

This article was motivated by the authors’ work on a project with a group of 2nd-grade students in a computer lab of a rural school in upstate New York. From this project, one goal of which was to provide a capstone experience for a teacher candidate in teaching application-oriented mathematics with technology, the ideas about parallel structures of two universes—the teacher's and the students’—that echo Shulman's structures of signature pedagogy have been developed. In the article the authors introduce the notion of computer-assisted signature pedagogy and explore its features through the combined lens of teaching and learning using the concept of Type I/Type II technology integration. 相似文献

Previous research has identified a well-established link between teachers' beliefs and the practical implications of technology-enhanced learning (TEL). Until recently, there have been few studies of teachers' beliefs regarding their own role as developers of TEL in higher education. In this study, 18 university teachers' reflective writings on their role as developers of TEL were analyzed. All the teachers had developed their teaching methods for the instructional use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The findings of qualitative thematic analysis indicated four divergent teachers' roles: (1) active developers, (2) adaptive developers, (3) cautious developers, and (4) reluctant developers. These findings can be used to train teachers in educational change.

Conclusion The AECT Project builds on ISTE’s groundbreaking work in the development of technology standards for teachers. The Project
adds specificity and has developed a comprehensive set of tools for pre-service teacher education. Teacher educators can use
these tools to ensure that their graduates leave with the technology skills needed for their selected teaching specialty.
The commitment and leadership demonstrated by the U.S. Department of Education in offering the Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers
for Technology program has earned their leaders our respect. Through this program the AECT Project has been able to develop
tools and can now offer them at no cost to institutions of higher education. The PT3 Program has galvanized educators across
America, has helped to create important, ongoing collaborations, and has helped to instill an unprecedented mass consciousness
valuing educational change. The partners in the AECT Project are proud to have this opportunity to contribute, in important
ways, to technology integration in teacher education. We are honored to join with all of the other PT3 Projects from across
the Nation in creating teaching and learning opportunities that will shape our educational systems in the 21st century. We
welcome other teacher education institutions and professional associations as partners as we move ahead. For more information,

All changes of the character of education and improvement of its quality depend, in our view, particularly on the teacher.
To be able to do their work efficiently, teachers have to be equipped with professional skills and dispositions, with “teachers’
competence”. For their professional growth, we consider indispensable competence in reflection, which is aimed at the teacher’s
activities with regard to aspects of pedagogy and/or subject-didactics. From the point of view of the goals and content of
their teaching and the methods of work (and their realisation), the development of teachers’ conscious self-reflection on
their own teaching and systematic pursuance of joint reflection with other teachers and/or researchers can promote the teacher’s
professional growth. In this paper, we show how a selected group of elementary school teachers reflected on their competence
in the course of preparing, carrying out and analysing several instruction experiments. The paper is based on samples of teachers’
reflections and their gradual development from mere simple conversations based on intuitive perceptions, through searching
for effective teaching approaches, to the deep assessment of mathematics teaching from the point of view of topics and their
didactic elaboration and to suggestions for the teachers’ own experiments.
May the teacher know what he teaches.
May the teacher know how to teach.
May the teacher be sincerely interested in teaching.

Science teachers from secondary schools in Tanzania were offered an in-service arrangement to prepare them for the integration
of technology in a student-centered approach to science teaching. The in-service arrangement consisted of workshops in which
educative curriculum materials were used to prepare teachers for student-centered education and for the use and application
of Microcomputer Based Laboratories (MBL)—a specific technology application for facilitating experiments in science education.
Quantitative and qualitative data were collected to study whether the in-service arrangement impacted teacher learning. Teacher
learning was determined by three indicators: (1) the ability to conduct MBL-supported student centered science lessons, (2)
teachers’ reflection on those lessons and (3) students’ perceptions of the classroom environment. The results of the research
indicate that the teachers’ were able to integrate MBL in their science lessons at an acceptable level and that they were
able to create a classroom environment which was appreciated by their students as more investigative and open-ended. 相似文献
