Perkins Coppola, Matthew – School Science and Mathematics, 2019
Research indicates there is a need for teachers to experience multiple mastery experiences with engineering teaching in order to improve teaching engineering self-efficacy. To prepare future K-5 teachers to teach the engineering design process, one science methods course integrated 2-day engineering mini-units into the class meeting and…

Belue, Paul T.; Cavey, Laurie Overman; Kinzel, Margaret T. – School Science and Mathematics, 2017
In this exploratory study, we examined the effects of a quantitative reasoning instructional approach to linear equations in two variables on community college students' conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and reasoning ability. This was done in comparison to the use of a traditional procedural approach for instruction on the same topic.…

Sickel, Aaron J.; Friedrichsen, Patricia – School Science and Mathematics, 2015
The purpose of this three-year case study was to understand how a beginning biology teacher (Alice) designed and taught a 5E unit on natural selection, how the unit changed when she took a position in a different school district, and why the changes occurred. We examined Alice's developing beliefs about science teaching and learning,…

Toumasis, Charalampos – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Presents an example of the use of historical materials in developing the concept of logarithm. A description of the unit includes the origins of the word logarithm and the objectives, organization, and implementation of the unit. The historical development establishes the connection between arithmetic and geometric progressions and logarithms.…

Kullman, David E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1978
Compiling resource units is suggested as a means of involving prospective high school mathematics teachers in the various activities associated with mathematics teaching. A resource unit is a collection of elements used in teaching a particular topic and includes: outlines, objectives, activities, strategies, audio-visual aids, test items, and…
