The course was designed to assist the prospective teachers to develop their problem solving skills in mathematics and science contexts and to develop problem-solving activities that integrate mathematics and science to use in their classrooms. Small group activities, where students had multiple opportunities to interact with concrete materials and to discuss their ideas, were emphasized. Data sources included audio taped interviews, field notes, and documents such as portfolios and lesson plans students produced during problem solving activities. Four assertions related to students' attitudes toward problem solving, their knowledge of problem solving and problem solving processes, and the role of problem solving in elementary classrooms are discussed. Implications for planning and implementing integrated mathematics and science problem solving activities in methods courses and for continued research are presented.
