Abstract

This presentation describes a novel and promising internet-based project to help K-8 teachers and teacher candidates improve science content understanding. The presenter will share a sample of internet-based pilot materials, present initial evaluative data about the project, and discuss the project’s next steps. The project’s approach is designed specifically to reduce the barriers of limited time, misaligned instructional focus, and inaccessible materials that have long hampered traditional methods of addressing content mastery. A key design feature of this project is the coupling of two tasks: learning science content and planning science lessons. Thus, internet-based content is presented in an entertaining and informal way at an adult level yet is designed to be easily modified for K-8 classrooms.
