"Insights from a 17-Year Longitudinal Study of Change in Science Teachers'
Knowledge of Science"

Hanna J. Arzi
Science Education, Independent Researcher-Consultant, Tel Aviv, Israel

A lot has been said on teacher knowledge and on what is desirable. The
research base varies across the different pedagogical and subject-matter
knowledge categories and is particularly limited in regard to secondary
school teachersí knowledge of the subjects they teach (known by the
acronym CK, Content Knowledge). The seminar will overview a longitudinal
study, carried out in Australia, on change in secondary science teachersí
knowledge of science, from pre-service training until 17 years later. The
presentation will attend to some findings and their implications.

The program begins at 4 PM; refreshments at 3:45 PM.
Parking available at the Campus Center Garage.
For more information, contact STEM Ed Institute at 545-0453

Next talk:  April 15, 2008, Mark Tuominen, Dept. of Physics, University of
Massachusetts, Co-Director, Center for Hierarchical Manufacturing,
"Nanoscience Education: New Approaches to a New Subject"
