Professor of Mathematics and Statistics
Ricardo Nemirovsky, Director of the Center for Research in Mathematics and Science Education, has a background in physics, which he studied in his native Argentina, Mexico and the US. He became interested in science education and earned his Doctor of Education degree at Harvard in 1992. Since then he has been the co-director of the Research Center at TERC, an educational non-profit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Dr. Nemirovsy`s research program focuses on an investigation of the embodied nature of cognition, with an emphasis on the roles of body motion and kinesthesia in mathematics learning. Proponents of embodied cognition hold that cognitive processes are deeply rooted in the body`s interactions with the world and with others and that perceptuo-motor activity is embedded in the use and production of tools and symbols. Dr. Nemirovsky`s pioneering research on the embodied nature of cognition and on the creative use of mathematical artifacts has been influential and has resulted in a number of well-cited papers. Over the past ten years, he has obtained over $9 million in external funding. At the national level and international levels, Dr. Nemirovsky has distinguished himself as a leader who works with a broad variety of researchers ranging from physicists to semioticians and most recently cognitive neuroscientists. Additionally, he has designed numerous mechanical devices and software to enrich the learning of mathematics, including several math-oriented exhibits for science and technology museums.

Randy grew up in the San Fernando Valley in California, where I earned a degree in mathematics and then a fifth year single-subject teaching credential in mathematics. I worked my way through college "busting tires" at Sears, and in my spare time I taught CPR courses for the American National Red Cross and I served as a Big Brother of Greater Los Angeles. I spent the next two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer teaching mathematics at a junior high school and in a teacher training institute in Liberia, West Africa, where, while out for a run one afternoon in the bush, I decided I enjoyed working with prospective teachers even though I did not know what I was doing. I decided then to pursue a graduate degree in mathematics education. I returned to the U.S. and taught mathematics in an inner-city Los Angeles high school and then in Canyon Country, north of Los Angeles. While teaching, I worked on an M.S. degree in mathematics at night and I also served on a crisis intervention help-line. Upon finishing my M.S. degree, I married, moved to Wisconsin, and studied for my doctorate under the direction of Tom Carpenter.

Chris studies teaching and learning of undergraduate mathematics, with an emphasis on courses that typically function as a transition to advanced mathematics. His work explores how pedagogical approaches and instructional design principles that have been successful at promoting student learning in earlier grade levels can be adapted to the university setting. Central to this work is careful attention to student thinking and a systematic, theory-driven study of the social interactions in which meanings are established, where norms for convincing arguments and presentations are negotiated, and where students can connect more formal mathematical developments to their personal experience.

' content[21]='Professor of Physics
For the past twenty years I have been involved in research and development in physics education. Initially my group and I did detailed studies of student understanding in various topical areas of physics, and later we studied students` epistemological beliefs (beliefs about physics knowledge and about learning). We then focused on developing instructional strategies that addressed the student difficulties observed by our group and others in the field. Many of these strategies involved the use of computer technology, including the use of videodisks, animations, graphics programs and simulations. Over the past six years my group has focused on studying how students learn in a technology-rich collaborative learning environment, and we have been particularly interested in developing ways that computer simulations can be used to complement and extend hands-on experiences of students and scaffold their development of target physics models. From 19952000 I directed a large team of physics educators (University and high school) and software design experts in developing a pedagogy, curriculum materials and computer software to support a classroom environment where students have primary responsibility for developing robust and valid ideas in physics (the CPU Project). More recently I have helped direct projects involving the development of a year-long physical science course for middle school students (CIPS Project) and a physics course for prospective and practicing elementary teachers (CPU-Elementary project). Each of these projects incorporates the use of computer technology in a constructivist-oriented learning environment. They also provide the context for rich research studies of how students learn and how teachers teach. The recent CIPS Professional Development project involves the development of both workshop and web-based materials to help teachers implement the middle-school CIPS curriculum with high fidelity.

I spent the majority of my earlier youth in northern Indiana, approximately 20 minutes from Chicago , Illinois . My informal interests include a variety of sports, reading, and science exploration focused on hiking and camping expeditions. My work experiences include serving as an assistant to an ophthalmologist, chemist at United States Steel, secondary teacher and university professor. Most recently, I am more involved in national and international consultancies. As an aside, I have conducted workshops for university professors in China and Thailand . The experiences of being in the minority were exacting. Despite the challenging environments, especially in China , I thoroughly enjoyed the people, and came to realize just how much we take for granted in this country. Survival in different cultures was very different from taking the requisite language courses as part of the university requirements. Learning Mandarin and other languages opened up my world, serving as an enabling factor in my communication with others in our global society. Along with a colleague, I conducted workshops in Dalian, China. Participants were professors of biological sciences from various provinces in China. In the beginning, an interpreter was used to communicate with the participants. Below is a picture of the group working together. I also held meetings with science education professors, along with representatives of Thailand`s Science Teachers Association (IPST). I became a part of this collaboration due to the fact that my main liaison in Thailand is a former graduate student at Purdue University where she was an Assistant Professor.

San Diego State University has been carrying out various aspects of ecological research on chaparral and arctic ecosystems since the early 1970`s. Activities have dealt with ecosystem modeling, basic physiological characteristics of the plants, nutrient dynamics of the plants and soil, water use, above and below ground biomass, light, energy, temperature, wind speed and precipitation. In the chaparral, work has taken place primarily in California and Chile with cooperative studies being done in other Mediterranean regions including South Africa, Australia, France, Spain and Italy. Arctic research has focused on the North Slope of Alaska, the Seaward Peninsula, and the Taiga around Fairbanks Alaska but recently has included Iceland, Western Siberia and the Far East in Russia. In the Arctic, the focus was to understand the system so as to minimize any potential negative effects of oil development while in the chaparral, the major concern has been damage to homes due to wildfire and maintaining an optimal age stand so as to yield the maximum amount of water from a watershed, minimize erosion and support a healthy and diverse wildlife population. The GCRG is still primarily working on tundra and chaparral vegetation but the focus since 1989 has been to examine plant and ecosystem reponses to elevated CO2 as well as CO2 fluxes in the natural ecosystems.

While teaching elementary school in Oregon, I realized how few teachers include science in their curricula. While earning my master`s degree in biology, I found myself creating curricula as I did my research on epibenthic algal mats in salt marshes. Finally, through my Ph.D., I decided to "officially" focus on science education. I am interested in finding ways to help elementary teachers include science in their classes. In my work I examine teacher beliefs about science and science instruction, as well as how teachers can become more reflective in their own practice. I`m also interested in how young children think about scientific principles and concepts. My current projects include exploring the practices of teachers who have been certified to teach elementary school (multiple subjects) but who have been hired to teach science at the middle school level. I am a co-PI on the Partnerships Involving the Scientific Community in Elementary Science (PISCES), an NSF-funded project (http://pisces.sdsu.edu) in which we place science graduate students in elementary classes to support quality science instruction and learning. I am a PI on the CPEC-funded BAHIA project (http://bahia.sdsu.edu/)in which we take urban high school students to Baja to conduct marine ecology research for five weeks each summer. I teach TE 910C, Elementary Science Methods; TE610C, Seminar in Science Education; TE 605, Reflective Practice and Peer Coaching; TE 638, Science and Literacy; and TE 790, Science for English Language Learners. I have co-coordinated the science education master`s program and I am currently developing the International Student Teaching program in Torreon, Mexico. In ten years, I hope students will enter my classroom with fabulous memories of elementary school science instead of saying "I don`t think science is taught in elementary schools."

From my theoretical perspective and teaching experience, students` constructing examples for application is important for their developing deep understandings of theoretical constructs. While students are certainly responsible for constructing their own understandings, my role as an instructor is to provide mediating tools around which socially situated cognition can occur. I accomplish this through having students work in groups to solve complex problems. As a teacher-scholar, I am constantly reflecting on my own teaching practice, reading current research on learning and instruction, and modifying my pedagogy to better serve my students.

Sara Unsworth is a developmental psychologist who explores cultural differences in cognitive development and seeks to explain those differences by identifying the particular worldviews, cultural activities and language practices that support concept formation and knowledge organization. She has been working with rural Native American and European American communities and has found that cultural differences in storytelling and in taking the perspective of animals (using gesture) are related to differences in the likelihood to think of humans as a part of nature and to engage in ecological reasoning. She is currently exploring the age at which children become sensitive to these cultural practices and orientations. This research has implications for theories of cognitive development that have been based largely on research with urban, middle-class, European-American populations. This research also has important implications for science instruction in culturally diverse settings and for environmental education more generally.

Kathleen M. Fisher is Professor Emeritus of Biology at San Diego State University and former Director of the Center for Research in Mathematics and Science Education. Dr. Fisher has a B.S. in science from Rutgers University and a Ph.D. in genetics from the University of California Davis. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship with the Atomic Energy Commission in 1970 and had a Fulbright Scholarship to work with a science university in Malaysia (Universiti Sains) in 1980. Fisher has worked in biology education research since the early 70s when she produced a televised two-semester genetics course in a novel video-autotutorial format. The televised course was used to teach about 7,000 students over a seven-year period, and was followed by a televised course in scientific writing. More recently Fisher collaborated with the Science Media Group at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, where she participated in several video series including the Private Universe and Minds of Our Own programs. Fisher taught a capstone inquiry-based biology course for prospective teachers for more than ten years. The lessons that she developed, now available on the Internet as a resource for practicing teachers and home schooling parents (Biology Lessons at SDSU!), have won recognition from the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Pacific Bell Knowledge Network, and the British Schoolzone. Fisher and the SemNet Research Group designed and developed the SemNet TM knowledge construction tool (1983-87). The computer-based idea networks serve as a mirror of the students` thinking, encouraging reflection and refinement of their ideas. SemNet has evolved into the Semantica Software Series of tools for knowledge capture, organization, and transfer www.semanticresearch.com which is of considerable interest to the intelligence communities. Fisher has served on Editorial and Executive Boards for several science education organizations.
