Teaching Science and Math
Description: This course serves students in the doctoral programs in science and mathematics education. In the course, we examine teaching and learning in the contexts of secondary science and mathematics classrooms, teacher preparation, post-secondary classrooms, teacher professional development, and informal learning environments. Multiple theoretical perspectives are introduced and used to analyze the literature and build effective research designs around teaching/instruction/interpretation in studying teaching in these contexts. Students will use the literature to identify and explicate identified gaps in the field's knowledge of teaching and propose a research study to fill that gap. Course components such as lecture, readings, assignments, and seminar discussions will focus on building students' skills in reading, synthesizing, and writing at a professional level. There are no prerequisites for this course. Letter grade only.
