Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Elementary Education

Description:

This course is designed to prepare prospective teachers to teach mathematics and science for a wide variety of middle level learners. It is designed to prepare teacher candidates to an inquiry centered, hands-on, 'minds-on' approach as they teach mathematical and science. The connection between inquiry and content is stressed throughout the course. The course is designed to build on content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, assessment, and connections to other disciplines in the classroom. Candidates will be instructed how to integrate learning theory, development theory and cognitive science. There will be a strong link between mathematics content and methods so that candidates will have an understanding about the connection between content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge for optimal teaching. Teacher candidates will utilize science tools, mathematical manipulatives, materials, media, and technological resources to engage students in the learning of science and/or mathematics content. The course models current research that focus on planning of inquiry-based programs and the actions needed to guide and facilitate student learning. ELU 348 is part of the professional semester block.
