opportunities education majors have to practicediscourse development prior to their student teaching practicum. Discourse simulation activitiesat universities prior to student teaching and internships are often insufficient to prepare teachersfor engaging in discourse with students throughout an entire school day.Traditional Methods of Discourse DevelopmentTraditionally, discourse development begins with pre-service teachers’ own understanding ofmath and science based upon how they were taught when they were first learning the material.Most education programs require pre-service teachers to take at least one laboratory-basedscience course and to complete mathematics courses. Once the students have a foundation inmath and science, they then take courses

courses in thesenior year. Courses like manufacturing systems design and analysis (e.g., factory physics),discrete-event simulation (e.g., arrival times distribution), and stochastic operations research(e.g., stochastic inventory management) all need statistical and probability knowledge. Usually,intricate examples about systems that imitate real-life situations are not feasible within theclassroom environment. Moreover, random and separate in-class or homework problems fail toconnect the concepts from different courses because of the time and context separation.Therefore, traditional teaching methods are not sufficient in establishing this needed connectionbetween concepts as well as with practice (real-life applications) [5].To improve learning

Initially, the purpose of the website wasenvisioned as a repository of project resources, but as our research proceeded, it becameobvious that the students perceived the concept map and web tools as essential parts of theproject and their view of their personal success strategies.Overall, the basic principles implemented in the project are supported by theory based incognitive and social constructivism and the substantial body of evidence that favorscollaborative learning and the inductive approach over the traditional lecture driven,deductive teaching approach.
