Following theirNUWC visit, teachers participate in ongoing professional learning workshops (i.e., fall andspring) where they learn to use the 7E model of STEM instruction (Eisenkraft, 2003) to guidetheir lesson planning and implementation and reflect on their lesson development with theirpeers. Aligned with our framework, engineering design-based instruction is at the core of thismodel. Teachers self-identify their Naval STEM lesson topics and form teams of 3-5 teachers(based on these interests) to develop their lessons. “Naval STEM” tasks are those contextualizedusing Naval research that include NUWC-based

The correlation difference between the early assessment andlater assessment outcome may be due to the fact that impact of the explanatory learning activitiesneeds some time to build up on students. Overall, students perceived the new learning activitiesvery positively. In the cognitive aspect, students acknowledged that the explanatory learningactivities encouraged them to think about the deeper structure of the homework problem, to domore planning before solving the problem rather than rushing, to review lecture materials/textbook rather than just rush to complete the homework.
