TIDeS
The Teaching with Investigation and Design in Science (TIDeS) project is supporting faculty to develop and implement curricular materials for introductory undergraduate science courses that focus on science investigation and engineering design. The aim of the project is to prepare future teachers by exposing them to discourse-filled, context-rich, inclusive classrooms on the premise that teachers should learn science the way they are expected to teach it. SERC is involved both through support of the rubric-driven curriculum development process as well as a multi-faceted evaluation making use of qualitative and quantitative methods to assess project objectives.
