This study investigates students’ conceptions of engineering at the beginning and end of their involvement in a National Science Foundation funded Graduate STEM Fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12) program. It examines whether students involved in the program exhibited greater conceptions of engineering from beginning to end, whether differences exist among males and females, and if students’ engagement and satisfaction with their Fellows affects growth in conceptions of engineering. Pre-survey and post-survey data were collected annually over four years from 1,522 participants in grades 7 and 8 who had a GK-12 Fellow. Statistical analyses indicated students gained significantly in their conceptions of engineering during a year of GK-12 involvement. Those with a second year benefitted more, and the initial conception of engineering gap that occurred between males and females was closed by the end of students’ involvement in GK-12. The greater the degree of student engagement and satisfaction with their GK-12 Fellows, the more accurate were their conceptions of engineering. This study suggests STEM-focused partnership programs may positively affect students’ career conceptions, and there is value in value placing resident scientists who can facilitate student engagement in classrooms. Recommendations to program coordinators are provided.
本研究调查了学生在参与国家科学基金会资助的K-12教育研究生STEM研究员(GK-12)计划的开始和结束时对工程的概念。它考察了参与项目的学生是否从头到尾都表现出更大的工程概念,男性和女性之间是否存在差异,以及学生对同伴的参与和满意度是否影响工程概念的增长。调查前和调查后的数据在四年的时间里每年收集1522名7年级和8年级的参与者,他们都有一个GK-12研究员。统计分析表明,在一年的GK-12课程中,学生对工程的概念有了显著的提高。那些上了第二年课的学生受益更多,并且在学生参与GK-12课程结束时,男性和女性之间出现的工程学差距的最初概念被消除了。学生对GK-12项目的参与程度和满意度越高,他们对工程的概念就越准确。本研究表明,以stem为重点的伙伴关系项目可能会对学生的职业观念产生积极影响,并且有价值的安置常驻科学家可以促进学生在课堂上的参与。向项目协调员提供了建议。

In recent years, prominent organizations have released large-scale policy reports on the state of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the United States, with particular emphasis on curricula and instructional practices. The purpose of this paper was to examine the curriculum and instruction occurring at high performing STEM-focused high schools that have no academic conditions for student admission. This study conducted a cross-case analysis across eight case studies of contextually different but well-regarded inclusive STEM high school. Common themes that emerged included different hierarchical levels of design and implementation (classroom-level, cross-cutting school level, school-wide) as well as responsive design of curriculum and instruction. Unique contextual differences are discussed as well as implications for replication of inclusive STEM school design.

Because elementary teachers are typically responsible for teaching all subjects, there is a unique opportunity for integrative approaches to teaching iSTEM Education at the elementary level (Becker & Park, 2011). However, there is a need for professional development if teachers are to be successful in teaching iSTEM Education (NRC, 2011), as elementary teachers may lack strong content knowledge in STEM disciplines (Ginns & Watters, 1995; Trygstad, 2013; Honey et al., 2014; Fulp, 2002; Ma, 1999; Hanover, 2012). Elementary teachers are prepared as generalists--they take few courses in STEM content, and experiences with iSTEM Education in their teacher preparation programs are rare (Fulp, 2002). Beyond the need for professional development related to STEM content knowledge, however, we know very little about the unique needs of elementary teachers regarding instructional approaches to iSTEM Education. This study examines and describes the ways in which elementary teachers conceptualize iSTEM Education and the integrative approaches they use when teaching STEM content, with the intent to inform the development of elementary specific iSTEM Education professional development.
由于小学教师通常负责所有科目的教学,因此在小学阶段采用综合方法来教授系统教育是一个独特的机会(Becker & Park, 2011)。然而,如果教师要在系统教育教学中取得成功,就需要专业发展(NRC, 2011),因为小学教师可能缺乏STEM学科的强大内容知识(Ginns & Watters, 1995;Trygstad, 2013;Honey et al., 2014;Fulp, 2002;马,1999;汉诺威,2012)。小学教师被培养成多面手——他们很少参加STEM内容的课程,在他们的教师培训项目中很少有系统教育的经验(Fulp, 2002)。然而,除了需要与STEM内容知识相关的专业发展之外,我们对小学教师对系统STEM教育教学方法的独特需求知之甚少。本研究考察并描述了小学教师概念化系统教育的方式,以及他们在教授STEM内容时使用的综合方法,旨在为小学特定系统教育专业发展提供信息。

Factors Influencing Student STEM Career Choices: Gender Differences 影响学生STEM职业选择的因素:性别差异
Pub Date : 2018-12-01 DOI: 10.51355/jstem.2018.44
Tandra L. Tyler-Wood, Karen R. Johnson, Deborah Cockerham
This study examined factors that influence middle school students’ dispositions towards science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers. Interest and ability in STEM subject areas were compared by gender, based on 182 middle school students’ responses to four different test instruments. While findings from t-tests indicated significant differences between males and females on mathematics interest scores, no significant differences were found in science, technology, engineering, or STEM career interest. Stepwise multiple regression showed that STEM variables explained 47% of the variance in boys pursuing a STEM career and 36% of the variance in girls. The findings of this study underscore the challenges that still exist in achieving equal gender representation in the STEM workforce, and suggest that adopting a constructivist learning approach may provide a foundation for girls to develop a more positive approach toward science, boost STEM awareness and interest, and increase STEM success.
本研究旨在探讨影响中学生科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)职业倾向的因素。基于182名中学生对四种不同测试工具的反应,按性别比较了他们在STEM学科领域的兴趣和能力。虽然t检验的结果表明男女在数学兴趣得分上存在显著差异,但在科学、技术、工程或STEM职业兴趣方面没有发现显著差异。逐步多元回归显示,STEM变量解释了男孩追求STEM职业的47%的方差,解释了女孩追求STEM职业的36%的方差。这项研究的结果强调了在STEM劳动力中实现性别平等仍然存在的挑战,并建议采用建构主义学习方法可以为女孩发展更积极的科学方法,提高STEM意识和兴趣,并增加STEM成功提供基础。

Inquiry Beliefs and Practices in an Urban Low SES Elementary Classroom: A Case Study 城市低社会经济地位小学课堂探究信念与实践:个案研究
Pub Date : 2018-12-01 DOI: 10.51355/JSTEM.2018.42

This case study explored the inquiry beliefs and practices of an elementary teacher in an urban low SES school. The case study included an array of data collection methods: teacher interview, classroom observations of teacher’s practices (3-5) days a week over six months, weekly journal reflections, teacher’s responses to an inquiry survey, responses to the Excellent Science Teaching Educational Evaluation Model survey and the school-level principal was interview about her perceptions of the teacher’s science instructional practices. Findings indicated that the teacher’s beliefs and practices did align and that she did consistently use structured and guided inquiry practices, but rarely used “full inquiry” as described in the National Science Education Standards. Key to this teacher’s use of inquiry was the professional education she had received that both modeled and provided opportunity for her to use various inquiry practices. She also had a belief that all of her students deserved to have quality science experiences and that she could provide it best through inquiry. She sought to increase students’ interest in and experiences with doing science. Time was sometimes a hindrance to the completion of inquiry activities and inquiry-based curricula materials were also important to facilitating the teacher’s use of inquiry.
本个案研究探讨一位城市低社会地位学校小学教师的探究信念与实践。案例研究包括一系列数据收集方法:教师访谈、教师实践的课堂观察(每周3-5天)、每周日记反思、教师对探究调查的回应、对优秀科学教学教育评估模型调查的回应,以及对校级校长关于她对教师科学教学实践的看法的访谈。调查结果表明,教师的信念和实践确实是一致的,她确实一直使用结构化和指导性的探究实践,但很少使用国家科学教育标准中所描述的“全面探究”。这位老师使用探究的关键是她所接受的专业教育,这种教育既为她提供了使用各种探究实践的模型,也为她提供了机会。她还相信,她所有的学生都应该拥有高质量的科学体验,而她可以通过探究提供最好的体验。她试图增加学生对科学研究的兴趣和经验。时间有时是完成探究活动的障碍,以探究为基础的课程材料对于促进教师使用探究也很重要。

Equity during peer conferences: A linguistic comparison by race and gender 同行会议中的公平:种族和性别的语言比较
Pub Date : 2018-07-01 DOI: 10.51355/JSTEM.2018.35

This paper provides an analysis of students’ peer assessment conversations in introductory college calculus. Prior research shows that this type of activity can support meaningful student learning. However, previous studies have suggested that students from different groups (e.g., by race or gender) may have different opportunities to participate in such discussion-based activities. Accordingly, this paper explores the participation of students in peer assessment conversations, by focusing on the types of feedback and word choices used by different groups of students, by race and gender. Based on computer-aided textual analysis, this paper provides insights into the types of words used by different students in the class. While there was evidence of inequities in participation between men and women, the results for race were inconclusive. These results suggest that peer conferences have some potential for producing more equitable participation in calculus.
本文对大学微积分导论课学生的同伴评议对话进行了分析。先前的研究表明,这种类型的活动可以支持有意义的学生学习。然而,先前的研究表明,来自不同群体(例如,种族或性别)的学生可能有不同的机会参与这种基于讨论的活动。因此,本文通过关注不同种族和性别的学生群体使用的反馈类型和词汇选择,探讨了学生在同伴评估对话中的参与情况。基于计算机辅助语篇分析,本文提供了不同学生在课堂上使用的词汇类型的见解。虽然有证据表明男女在参与方面存在不平等,但种族方面的结果尚无定论。这些结果表明,同行会议有可能产生更公平的微积分参与。

K. Dahlquist, J. Dionisio, R. Libeskind-Hadas, Anna E. Bargagliotti
An important question in undergraduate curricula is that of incorporating computing into STEM courses for majors and non-majors alike. What does it mean to teach “computing” in this context? What are some of the benefits and challenges for students and instructors in such courses? This paper contributes to this important dialog by describing three undergraduate courses that have been developed and taught at Harvey Mudd College and Loyola Marymount University. Each case study describes the course objectives, implementation challenges, and assessments.

Alex Dekhtyar, Andrew Schafner
This paper describes the motivation and organization of Cal Poly’s new type of academic subprogram: the Cross-Disciplinary Studies Minor (CDSM). CDSMs are an appropriate educational vehicle for providing both depth in one’s own field and breadth in a companion field for students who want to excel in studying topics that straddle the boundaries of traditional BS degrees. The design of CDSMs is illustrated using the example of Cal Poly’s Cross-Disciplinary Studies Minor in Data Science, which has been in place since 2015-2016 academic year.

This paper focuses on the question of what makes a good disciplinary or interdisciplinary problem. We draw from literature across the STEM disciplines and two conference sessions to provide insight into what makes a good problem within a specific discipline and across the disciplines. We use various frameworks to analyze a variety of problems that were nominated as exemplars by STEM education research experts. Common features identified include real-world connections, reinforcement of conceptual understanding, a low floor and high ceiling, multiple solutions paths, and building dispositions of professionals in the discipline. While a good problem need not have all of these features, in general, good problems have more of these features. We also recognize that these problems are context-specific, as what may be considered a problem for one learner could be a trivial exercise for another. We discuss some of the challenges of designing good interdisciplinary problems and identify some features that can make a problem interdisciplinary, including use of cross-cutting concepts and drawing on the specific expertise of each discipline.
本文关注的问题是什么是一个好的学科或跨学科的问题。我们借鉴了STEM学科的文献和两次会议,以深入了解在特定学科和跨学科中是什么构成了一个好问题。我们使用各种框架来分析由STEM教育研究专家提名为范例的各种问题。确定的共同特征包括现实世界的联系,概念理解的强化,低地板和高天花板,多种解决方案路径,以及在该学科中建立专业人员的倾向。虽然一个好的问题不需要具备所有这些特征,但一般来说,好的问题具有更多这些特征。我们也认识到这些问题是特定于环境的,因为对一个学习者来说可能是一个问题,对另一个学习者来说可能是一个微不足道的练习。我们讨论了设计好的跨学科问题的一些挑战,并确定了一些可以使问题跨学科的特征,包括使用交叉概念和利用每个学科的特定专业知识。
