part of the program and then learn how to access NASA archival databases and interpret photon data to build models of x-ray sources 共low and high mass binaries, bursters, su- pernovae remnants, etc. 兲. This experience allows preservice teachers to not only watch how quickly and efficiently high school students learn when they are in an environment built on knowledge of how people learn, but they also see the “nature of science” at work and learn how to bring real sci- ence into the classroom. In the fall of the second year preservice teachers do their student teaching internship 共which is a part of the preparation of all preservice students in the GSE 兲. For this teaching in- ternship they are placed with the cooperating teachers who are graduates of the program 共usually these are the same teachers who were observed by the interns in the spring of the previous year 兲. This is both extremely important for the student teaching experience and makes the physics program unique in the GSE. These placements are only possible be- cause of the continuous interaction of the program staff with the graduates 共Table III 兲. Placing the interns with the gradu- ates of the program allows the interns to practice what they learned and avoid the conflict between how they are “sup- posed to teach” and “how real teachers teach.” During the student teaching internship, they plan and execute their les- sons with the supervision of the cooperating teacher and the university supervisor. Once a week they come to Rutgers for a course, Teaching Internship Seminar, where they reflect on what happened during the week, learn to interpret and assess student work, and plan their new lessons. In the spring, they return to teaching introductory laboratories and recitations at Rutgers. During this semester, they start interviewing for high school teaching positions. The interviews involve teach- ing a demonstration lesson. These lessons are planned to- gether with the graduate advisor 共the author of the paper兲. Because of these clinical experiences at Rutgers, the preser- vice teachers slowly build their skills and confidence as they move toward independent teaching. This section provided a general overview of the PCK-related courses; the details of two of them are given in the next section. Download 231.88 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
