Center for Science Education

Administratively housed in the College of Education, the Center for Science Education is a university-wide vehicle for marshalling and coordinating K-State's historically independent and compartmentalized endeavors in science, mathematics, technology, and environmental education.

Groups of faculty affiliates specializing in science, mathematics, computer science, educational technology, and environmental education from across and beyond the K-State campus come together to address teaching and learning issues.

The center's mission is to improve the quality of science, mathematics, and technology teaching and learning throughout Kansas, the prairie states, and the nation from kindergarten through the Ph.D. level.

The center facilitates collaboration among individuals and units on and off campus for the purpose of conducting research; developing curriculum materials, pedagogical strategies, and organizational mechanisms; demonstrating their effectiveness in model school sites; and disseminating the latest knowledge to an audience of school administrators, teachers, researchers, other professionals, parents, and citizens in non-formal educational settings.
