This article focuses on the efficacy of science and mathematics teacher preparation programs in the U.S. The current national priority for systemic approaches to the reform of science and mathematics education has led to unprecedented interest in research on the efficacy of science and mathematics teacher preparation programs. In response to this priority, a focus on collaborative approaches to educational reform and to research on educational reform resulted in a national collaborative research consortium of institutions of higher education. The research design and instrumentation yielded detailed descriptions that elicited knowledge and beliefs held by beginning teachers about science, the nature of teaching and learning, and their philosophy of teaching. An analysis of video portfolios of beginning teachers provided classroom-based evidence of their performance in both subject matter and pedagogical dimensions of teaching. Beginning teachers described their practices as very student-centered. Specific outcomes of the project were to generate knowledge about the relationships between secondary science and mathematics teacher preparation programs, the knowledge, beliefs, and performances of beginning teachers, and student learning outcomes. |
