Abstract | This program is the result of efforts made to develop a preparation model for elementary teachers. The science component of the program is referred to as SODIA-Science which is derived from the first letters of descriptive words: Self, Others, Discipline, Implementation, and Associate teaching. These words describe the emphasis at each level of the program. About 250 students per term are served by this project with about 50 in each of four required content courses and a science methods course. A practicum component and student teaching are also experienced by the methods course students. The sample for this project consisted of more than 500 students with at least a 2.7 grade point average. An expanded Discrepancy Evaluation Model (DEM) was used in developing the design of the science methods course and assessing the impact of the science content courses. The basic design includes: (1) what is going to happen (activities--process); (2) what should result (objectives--outcomes); (3) what is needed (resources--input). The National Science Teachers Association's external evaluation confirmed that this project was one of the best elementary science teacher preparation programs in the country. In all dimensions measured, student performance had been improved. Seven references are included. (RT) |
