build on this research by extending mechanistic reasoningas a lens to understand how non-science major undergraduates in a teacher education programexplain machine learning examples––including sociopolitical impacts of those systems. We alsoexamine how the teacher candidates (TCs) construe preliminary lesson plans for how they mightintegrate machine learning in their teaching with young adolescents.MethodWe conducted a design-based research study [10], [11], [12] within a science education methodscourse at a large land grant university in the northeastern United States. The course is a requiredcourse for TCs who will teach middle level grades (grades 4 – 8). Twenty-three of the 25 TCsenrolled in the course consented to provide their assignments

Nine students were selected toparticipate in the Site; four students selected were from institutions outside Cincinnati, and five wereselected from UC. These included three women, one Native American male, one Hispanic male, oneAfrican American male, and three white American male students, and each group worked on a separateproject during the two summer months. Each group were supervised by the Project Director (author)and a Faculty Mentor, one Graduate Student Mentor (Research Assistant), and a Lab Technicianduring the complete duration of the REU Site. The whole research program was planned and conducted,the details of the projects selected for the students, and procedures were used to evaluate

the last 10 years to serving students in grades K-12 within the Orange Public Schools. Prior to her appointment as principal, she served as the vice principal of the STEM Innovation Academy and has played a pivotal role in planning and executing the vision and mission of the school. Desiring to increase her educational impact, Dr. Reid has recently become an adjunct professor at Se- ton Hall where she works with students in the Educational Administration and Supervision, Executive Master’s Program. Dr. Reid’s educational philosophy is based on Transformative Leadership. She believes true leadership lies within the empowerment of those around her and in creating a collaborative environment where

The professional development included information and hands-on experiences in theMedibotics program to enhance their STEM instruction. The curriculum was developed as away for students to apply classroom lessons to real-life problems. Teachers also receivedinstruction on how to develop standards-based lesson plans as the curricula is aligned withcontent standards in science and mathematics.The Virtual Medibotics project was developed to create and implement a fully on-lineprofessional development program that would enable STEM teachers to access the Mediboticsteaching resources online and implement the Medibotics program in their classroom [12].Through the utilization of

While the student Teammet formally with a faculty “Manager” for a formal Weekly Meeting, the overwhelming emphasiswas for the student Team to reach their own designs, experience their own failures and successes inearning their own know-how, resolve their own communications and scheduling conflicts, and torespond to customer critical comments of prototype product performance. The students rotated boththe Team leadership and the project planning on a weekly basis to give each member multipleopportunities for experiencing how a project is managed.The collaboration of the Engineering and

Additionally, as we plan to use this survey to assess STEMstudents of multiple majors throughout their course of study, the exclusion of domain-basedknowledge as a component of AE is important - individuals may be adaptive and employadaptive approaches to problem solving without displaying strong content knowledge and thus,we can consider the adaptiveness of students at various levels of education as they progresswithin their program.Methodology and Survey DetailsAt Stevens, all first-year students are required to complete a number of subject pool
