CIT504 Teaching for Conceptual Integration in Mathematics and Science

The course focuses on how student learning can be enhanced when a teacher blends together instructional methods that help students integrate concepts, ideas, processes, and contexts from the curricular areas of math and science. Assertions that cross these school subjects include: - Science inquiry and mathematical problem solving can be blended - Processes should be enacted in context to build understanding of concepts. - Students should experience the progressive development of explanations of concepts and the progressive unfolding of connections from simple to more complex. Prerequisites: Admission to program; CIT501, CIT502 and EPS541. 3 Semester Hours.
