Upgrading the learning for teachers in real analysis: A curriculum project
Page: 1111
Upgrading Learning for Teachers in Real Analysis is a project in which we designed and implemented an innovative real analysis course for pre-service and in-service mathematics teachers (PISTs). More generally, this project provides an alternative model to teaching advanced mathematics to PISTs, a model that more meaningfully connects the teaching of secondary mathematics to the advanced mathematics content. This poster describes the theoretical model, the means of developing connections between real analysis and secondary mathematics content, the 12 modules we designed and how they fit in a standard real analysis curriculum, and presents evidence for their efficacy. The instruction is built from and returns to authentic secondary mathematics classroom situations.
