JoinContent-Intensive Courses in an Undergraduate Science Education Minor and Impacts on Participating Students
The California Teach Program at the University of California, San Diego, recruits and prepares undergraduates interested in teaching science and mathematics. One of the products of the program is a set of courses taught by faculty in science disciplines that integrate subject matter with theories of learning and instruction, with the goal of providing a bridge between the students' science coursework and the teacher credential program. These science content–intensive courses, as well as the preliminary results on the effects of these courses on participating students, are described here.
