Title: | Embedding Collaborative Enhancement and Reflection in Science and Mathematics Initial Teacher Education Programs | Contributor(s): | Whannell, Robert (author) ; Woolcott, Geoff (author); Marshman, Margaret (author); Galligan, Linda (author); Pfeiffer, Linda (author); Wines, Chris (author) | Publication Date: | 2018-11 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/26311 | Open Access Link: | https://stem-in-ed2018.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5th-International-STEM-in-Education-Post-Conference-Proceedings-2018.pdf | Abstract: | This paper reports the findings from the initial embedding of a process of enhancement and reflection in pre-service teacher (PST) science and mathematics methods units and the influence the process has had on PST confidence. The focus of the embedding was to enhance, through collaboration with practicing mathematicians and scientists, the capacity of PSTs to use local contexts to create situated learning opportunities for their students that would include enhanced scientific/mathematical thinking requirements. The embedding also included a reflective process to enhance PST understanding of the emotional experience of teaching as a means of supporting their sense of confidence and identity. While there were some shortcomings reported by students in the complexity of the process, positive outcomes were reported for both enhanced mathematics and scientific thinking and in PST confidence through reflection. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | STEM 2018: 5th International STEM in Education Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 21st - 23rd November, 2018 | Source of Publication: | Integrated Education for the Real World, p. 451-457 | Publisher: | Queensland University of Technology | Place of Publication: | Brisbane, Australia | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130313 Teacher Education and Professional Development of Educators | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 390109 Mathematics and numeracy curriculum and pedagogy 390305 Professional education and training 390307 Teacher education and professional development of educators |
