| Description: |
This course is designed for mathematics and science pre-service teachers. Students will focus on the unique literacy strategies required in mathematics and science content areas. Critical literacy and quantitative literacy form the foundation of class discussion and assignments. |
| Learning Goals: |
Course Objectives1. Develop an understanding of the quantitative and qualitative research present in mathematics and science textbooks and other course texts.2. Identify similarities and differences amongst various mathematical and scientific theories, policies, and practices in secondary education.3. Gain an understanding of how social justice factors may influence adolescent education in math and science classrooms.4. Examine current issues affecting adolescent education today including politics, media, common core curricula, and testing standards.5. Apply research findings from the study of adolescent psychology to experiences in the teaching and learning of literacy in math and science classes.6. Apply theory to teaching methodology and observation analysis.7. Create interdisciplinary, social justice, and critical media literacy lessons that incorporate the critical analysis of math or science topics.8. Design a math or science critical literacy unit that uses semiotic analysis and critical pedagogy to investigate relevant issues in secondary math and science courses. 9. Participate in Socratic seminar discussions that illustrate a critical understanding of text complexity, teaching for social justice, and the various subjectivities and objectivities of science and math education.10. Incorporate online resources and multi-modal technologies into the teaching and learning of math and science topics. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only.
