Science Educator, v14 n1 p41-48 Spr 2005
This study examines the experiences and knowledge of students who are participating in a recruitment course in a secondary science, mathematics, and computer science teacher education program. It looks at students who are participating in a recruitment course in a secondary science, mathematics, and computer science teacher education program at a large university. By examining the experiences and knowledge of students in such a program, it is possible to understand the disposition of students who elect to participate in these courses, and the curricular and instructional aspects that impact students who are considering the teaching profession. The findings provide an additional data source from which to draw conclusions, and thus have direct implications for those affiliated with similar courses. (Contains 3 tables.)
