摘要:

Science and mathematics are naturally and logically related in the real world. Educators are trying to capture this relationship in the classroom in an effort to improve students' achievement and attitude in both disciplines. However, the literature abounds with terms and definitions related to the integration of science and mathematics education. The Berlin‐White Integrated Science and Mathematics (BWISM) Model was developed to provide a template to characterize current resources, guide in the development of new materials, and provide a common language to advance the research base related to integrated science and mathematics teaching and learnin

摘要:

The authors use a common theme of SHARKS to illustrate the process of developing an interdisciplinary unit for middle school instruction. A model is presented for teams to use in developing integrated curriculum. Focusing on a central theme or topic, a web of disciplines and key concepts is developed. As activities evolve, a concept map is created to illustrate the relationships and integration of ideas and activities.

摘要:

Project AIMS (Activities that Integrate Mathematics and Science) began in 1981 as a National Science Foundation grant. Twelve years later it is a flourishing program which relies on materials developed and written by teachers, and one which uses inexpensive, easily acquired equipment and materials. It is particularly noteworthy that the focus of AIMS‐integration through hands‐on mathematics and science‐supports such recent initiatives as the NCTM Standards and Project 2061 of the AAAS, even though it predates both of

摘要:

Editor's Note: The Lead Teacher Component of the Virginia State Systemic Initiative has developed a special relationship with USA TODAY; they are a national newspaper with special daily materials to help teachers use newspapers in several disciplines. These materials are provided to teachers at cost. SSMA and Virginia are not endorsing USA TODAY; we are simply trying to make it easier for teachers to use newspapers; whether they use USA TODAY or a local newspaper is of no concern. We just find that the support provided by USA TODAY definitely helps teachers get started. Thus, we asked the authors, writers in Educational Development for USA TODAY, to prepare this article so that our readers may learn of their service to teachers.

摘要:

If integration of mathematics and science is to occur, teacher preparation programs at colleges and universities must provide leadership in developing and modeling methods of teaching integrated content. This paper describes the development and implementation of an integrated mathematics/science preservice elementary methods course at the University of Connecticut. In planning the course several questions were addressed: (a) What does integration of mathematics and science mean? (b) What content should be taught in an integrated mathematics/science (IM/S) elementary methods course? and (c) How should an IM/S elementary methods course be taught? An important element of the course involved enlisting an exemplary elementary teacher who was released from her classroom one day per week to co‐teach the methods class. Establishing a definition of integration proved to be one of the most challenging aspects of course development. The authors determined that most difficulties in integration of disciplines result from attempts to “force” the integration. As the team struggled with the philosophical, theoretical and logistical problems in the development of the course, it became apparent why integration has not been more widely implemented. It is believed this model can be adapted to allow for integration of all content areas. Plans are currently underway to incorporate social studies into the methods class for Fall of

摘要:

This article describes the Lead Teacher Component of the NSF‐funded State Systemic Initiative, Virginia's Quality Education in Science and Technology (V‐QUEST). Part of V‐QUEST focuses on the integration of mathematics and science in elementary and middle schools. Some recent research findings and recommendations which informed the planning and decisions are cited. The article describes the guiding principles, objectives, strategies, and agencies involved in the project. An outline of how the integration of mathematics and science elements were developed is provided and some preliminary outcomes are catalogued. An important feature of the systemic project is the manner through which it includes a wide range of individuals and organizations concerned with education in all the planning and implementation p

摘要:

In April, 1991 the NSF/SSMA conference entitled “A Network for Integrated Science and Mathematics Teaching and Learning” was held at the Wingspread conference facility in Racine, Wisconsin. Five plenary papers were presented offering very diverse perspectives related to the integration of science and mathematics education. This publication summarizes the significant points advanced in each plenary paper. The full text of these papers is being published as part of the SSMA Monograph Ser

摘要:

The Technology, Science, Mathematics (TSM) Integration Project, funded by the National Science Foundation, has developed a series of middle school activities that involve the application of science and mathematics in the solution of technological problems. The purpose of these activities is to allow students to see “real‐world” applications for science and mathematics. The paper opens with a discussion of the “technological problem solving” method that characterizes each of the TSM Integration Activities. Brief descriptions of the fifteen activities and the corresponding technology, science, and mathematics content they involve are provided. The general structure of the activities and research in support of this methodological approach are also
