干教育 & the Role of the Mathematics Department: Nebraska’s Story & Opportunities Supported by the National Science Foundation
在过去的30多年里, the 数学系 at the 内布拉斯加大学林肯分校 has made a major investment in mathematics education, emphasizing the mathematical education of teachers and active learning in the undergraduate mathematics classroom. Investments by the university in a 干教育 Center has played an important role both in supporting the work of the Mathematics Department and in broadening 干教育 work to include a vibrant DBER (Discipline-Based Education Research) community. We will discuss Nebraska’s story and discuss programs at the National Science Foundation that can support faculty at a university wanting to make a comparable investment in 干教育.
