SED 278 - Integrating Math, Science, and Technology in the Secondary Curriculum


Semester Hours: 3
Spring
This course is designed for secondary teachers of mathematics, science, and/or technology (MST, grades 7-12). It focuses on curriculum connections of the three disciplines. A contextual approach to learning is modeled as students engage in a series of problem-based activities involving mathematical exploration, scientific inquiry and engineering technology. A primary consideration is the use of mathematics for clarifying and elucidating scientific and technological phenomena. For this purpose, a variety of exemplary instructional units will be examined. As a culminating project, students will create and present their own MST unit plans, focusing on the interconnectedness of the disciplines. Twenty-first century information technologies will support learning activities throughout the course. 

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Competency in secondary mathematics and science content.
