Using Pedometers in Elementary Mathematics and Science Methods Courses

Computer SCIENCE and Mathematics in the Elementary Schools

Computer science is fundamentally about algorithms recipes for solving problems and performing tasks In the same way that children can learn about dinosaurs with out digging for bones and about planets and space without peering into telescopes the intellectual core of computer science is not dependent on machines for its presentation Just as with these other subjects an approach based on storie...

Article Introductory Life Science Mathematics and Quantitative Neuroscience Courses

We describe two sets of courses designed to enhance the mathematical, statistical, and computational training of life science undergraduates at Emory College. The first course is an introductory sequence in differential and integral calculus, modeling with differential equations, probability, and inferential statistics. The second is an upper-division course in computational neuroscience. We pr...

Students’ Misconceptions in Elementary School Science Courses and the Role of Teachers in their Identification and Correction

To improve the quality of student learning it is necessary to identify their misconceptions and find ways of correcting them. Such misconceptions in science, and especially at the elementary school level, could be of grave consequences if not remedied. In this study a group of elementary school teachers from four provinces of East Azerbaijan, Tehran, South Khorasan, and Hamedan participated in ...
