Science Education


The College of Education at Iowa State University of Science
and Technology is seeking to become a leading land-grant
college. Located in the attractive, four-season community of
Ames, IA, Iowa State University is an AAU Research 1
Institution with particular strengths in Science and
Technology. Within the Department of Curriculum and
Instruction, Science and Mathematics Education has been
identified as an area of strength targeted for future
development. The Department of Curriculum and Instruction
enrolls 875 undergraduates and 150 graduate students with 35
full-time faculty, and 15 support staff. A strength of
science education at ISU is its traditionally active
involvement in teacher enhancement and development projects.
Within the general context of teacher enhancement and
systemic change consistent with the National Science
Education Standards, the Center for Excellence in Science and
Mathematics Education has identified the areas of writing for
learning in science and applying technology to promote
science teaching and learning as emerging research focus
areas. The Center is a collaborative effort among science and
mathematics educators in the College of Education and the
