The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Historically Black College's and Universities-Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) is providing support to Virginia State University (VSU) through its Targeted Infusion Project (TIP) funding opportunity to increase the quality of science teaching at the K-6 grade level. This teacher preparation project represents a joint venture between the College of Natural and Health Sciences and College of Education as well as local school districts in central Virginia to increase interest, pedagogical skills, confidence and expertise of preservice elementary education teachers to teach science utilizing research-based instructional methods. The project will pair preservice teachers with science majors and biology faculty to work collaboratively on interdisciplinary projects, allow for field-based experiences that incorporate applied knowledge, practices, and hands-on learning by exposing preservice teachers to practical application of science concepts, enable preservice teachers' participation in professional development conferences and activities; and enhance VSU's College of Education Teaching and Learning Resource Center with science resources. The project supports both formal and informal learning for thirty (30) pre-service teachers over a three-year period.The project will be evaluated using the Teaching Science as Inquiry (TSI) survey instrument to measure teacher's self-efficacy as it relates specifically to classroom practice.

美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 历史悠久的黑人学院和大学本科项目 (HBCU-UP) 正在通过其定向注入项目 (TIP) 资助机会向弗吉尼亚州立大学 (VSU) 提供支持，以提高弗吉尼亚州立大学的科学教学质量-6年级。 该教师培训项目是自然与健康科学学院、教育学院以及弗吉尼亚州中部当地学区之间的合资项目，旨在提高职前基础教育教师利用研究来教授科学的兴趣、教学技能、信心和专业知识。为基础的教学方法。 该项目将把职前教师与科学专业和生物学教师配对，共同开展跨学科项目，通过让职前教师接触科学概念的实际应用，提供结合应用知识、实践和实践学习的实地经验，使职前教师能够教师参加专业发展会议和活动；并利用科学资源加强 VSU 教育学院的教学资源中心。 该项目在三年内支持三十 (30) 名职前教师的正式和非正式学习。该项目将使用教学科学作为探究 (TSI) 调查工具进行评估，以衡量教师的自我效能，因为它具体涉及到课堂实践。
