| The study examined the impact of a professional development program in Multidisciplinary Sciences funded by the Teacher Quality Higher Education Grants program on the content enhancement and classroom practices of the participants. The 2006-2008 program had involved K-12 teachers in studying and integrating different fields of physical, life and earth sciences over a three-week period during the summer and the once a week in the following academic year. The teaching approaches used were based on state and national standards, best teaching practices, and current trends in science education. Pre-post tests, classroom observation, reflective journals, portfolios and post-program survey data were analyzed by the department faculty and undergraduate research students. The results of these analyses were used to measure changes in science content and classroom practices of the participants through the use of various technologies; standards-based teaching strategies; scientific resources; field investigations; and community of practices. |
