2002 Summer Conference Announcement Registration Schedule Call for Papers

2002 Summer Conference "Integrating Science and Mathematics Education Research into Teaching" June 23 to 25, 2002 · The University of Maine · Orono, Maine Sponsored by: The University of Maine - Center for Science and Mathematics Education Research Maine Mathematics and Science Teaching Excellence Collaborative (MMSTEC)

KEYNOTE: Our model of how a student "works": Does it matter for teaching science? E.F. "Joe" Redish Teachers of science usually talk about how the world works, but rarely about how their students work (or don't work) -- except to complain. But our model of thinking and learning plays a critical role in our teaching, whether we are aware of it or not. This talk will give a primer on a cognitive model of thinking and learning relevant for teaching science. Back to Announcement Page
