Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on issues of what it means to learn and know science and mathematics. What are the standards for knowing we will use? How are knowing and learning structured and how does what we know change and develop? For the science and mathematics educator, what are the tensions between general, cross-disciplinary characterizations of knowing (e.g. intelligence) and the specifics of coming to understand powerful ideas in mathematics and science? What are the links between knowing and developing in learning theory, and the content and evolution of scientific ideas? Also, current issues and tensions in education will be discussed, especially as it relates to mathematics and science instruction.
