Teaching Mathematics Graduate Students to Teach: An International Perspective
High-quality teaching of mathematics at the university level is important to every country. Almost all of the best jobs in the global economy require fluency in mathematics, and a great many require advanced technical knowledge. High-quality university math instruction contributes to high student achievement in the quantitative disciplines and prepares students for good jobs. Moreover, universi...
متن کاملIf we are going to teach graduate students how to teach ...
It is increasingly being recognized that the teaching of physiology (actually all of the biomedical disciplines) in graduate and professional programs is being done by individuals with no formal training as teachers (6). While this is certainly not the only, or perhaps even not the major, cause of the current crisis in medical education, improvements in teaching physiology must ultimately come ...
متن کاملFrom Biology to Mathematical Models and Back: Teaching Modeling to Biology Students, and Biology to Math and Engineering Students
We describe the development of a course to teach modeling and mathematical analysis skills to students of biology and to teach biology to students with strong backgrounds in mathematics, physics, or engineering. The two groups of students have different ways of learning material and often have strong negative feelings toward the area of knowledge that they find difficult. To give students a sen...
متن کاملPreparing Preservice Elementary Teachers to Teach Science Through Computer Models
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which preservice elementary teachers were able to construct viable scientific models with a computer-modeling tool, namely Model-It, and design a science lesson with models. The results of the study showed that (a) Model-It, through its scaffolds (i.e., Plan, Build, and Test modes), enabled the majority of preservice teachers to build model...
متن کاملTeaching Graphics To Students Struggling in Math: An Experience
Undergraduate students with a negative attitude towards Math present a unique challenge when teaching computer graphics. Most meaningful concepts in computer graphics involve directly working with Math in the classroom, and implementing tasks in programs requires a reasonable grounding in Math concepts and how to apply them. This paper presents a semester-long experience in using three strategi...
