Preparing Elementary Education Majors to Teach Science using an Inquiry-Based Approach: The Full Option Science System
| Status: Completed | Begin date: November 1, 2003 | End date: Nov 15, 2004 |
Description
Science education traditionally has received insufficient attention. As a literature review shows, teacher preparation in science will be best served by improvements in pedagogy and in the content of required undergraduate science courses. The Gallaudet University undergraduate teacher education program has developed an inquiry-based course that emphasizes integration of the sciences. Acquisition of the Full Option Science System, and its adaptation to and integration into the course, has resulted in specific curricular changes and positive results.
