Hispanic Preservice Teachers’ Peer Evaluations of Interdisciplinary Curriculum Development: A Self-Referenced Comparison Between Monolingual Generalists and Bilingual Generalists
Journal of Hispanic Higher Education
(2015)
Abstract
This study investigated preservice teachers from two teacher education programs,
elementary generalists and bilingual generalists (who will teach all subjects in both
English and Spanish), about their instructional design abilities via examination of
their ability to integrate interdisciplinary-themed activities into mathematics lessons.
The findings illustrate the value provided by differentiating teacher preparation for
preservice bilingual teachers—especially for challenging STEM-related (science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects such as mathematics—based on
their distinctive pedagogical, cognitive, and linguistic requirements.
