LearningIntroductionThis paper describes a case-based, mixed-methods study of how K-12 teachers support andscaffold student learning in a Problem-based Learning (PBL) engineering lesson. The studyexamined how K-12 engineering teachers planned to support student learning using scaffolding,how they implemented scaffolds during PBL engineering activities, and how they reflected upontheir PBL engineering lesson implementation.PBL in engineering educationEngineering practice and other design-focused fields involve solving complex problems, often incollaborative teams. Generally, these engineering problems do not have a single solution andrequire multifaceted skillsets from many domains. However, engineering students often findthemselves unprepared to manage messy
participating STEM teachers. Throughout thecamp, the STEM teachers participated in authentic engineering experiences with their studentsand engaged in professional learning discourse about three-dimensional science instruction andthe camp experience. They also participated in engineering education workshops led by theresearchers, which included discussion about the SEEd Standards and the Framework,engineering design activities, and collaborative work sessions to plan a lesson related toengineering implementation in their own classroom. The main purpose of the teacherprofessional learning was to help the participating STEM teachers incorporate therecommendations from the framework for K-12 science education and the SEEd Standards.During the academic

In 2014, Dr. Macalalag conceptualized and developed the STEM Education Graduate Certificate Program (Links to an external site.) for in-service elementary and middle school teachers. The certificate program’s goal is to foster teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge in planning, implementing and assessing instructions that incorporate science and engineering practices based on the National Research Council’s Framework for K-12 Science Education. The STEM certificate program has five courses (15 credits) that include an environmental education preview to Sicily, Italy.Ms. Najah Naylor MEd, MBA Ms. Najah Naylor is a Computer Science Educator within the Philadelphia School
, examples of prompts of elicit student ideas consisted of short phrases that theteachers used to better understand the students’ ideas. For example, Ms. Lane asked “What doyou mean?” and “So what is this?” when students were working on their plans. In otherexamples, when his students were testing their ideas, Mr. Smith asked, “What’s your solution?”,when Ms. Allen was trying to understand her students’ plan for their redesign, she asked “So thisis a flat mirror [drawn on the plan]?”, and Mr. Smith said “Just tell me your solution, if you hadto give the elevator pitch, you have 15 seconds here.” Although short, phrases such as these gavestudents opportunities to explain their ideas and to be responsible for explaining those ideas.They also helped

This study focuses on a STEM Academy run by a local chapter of an international not-for-profit organization. The not-for-profit is committed to enriching, sustaining, and ensuring thecultural and economic survival of African Americans and other people of African Ancestry. Ledby a planning team of 12, the local chapter of approximately 60 members in the south-centralU.S. has delivered STEM Academy programming for 8 years, with the goals of
: Engineering Professional Development SequenceThe first day consisted of the participants completing an activity intended to help studentsunderstand the similarities and differences of engineering and science. An engineering designexperience was also included that consisted of the participants following the engineering designprocess based on a given scenario. It entailed the participants practicing problem-framing,planning a solution, and developing a prototype of their design. This allowed them to take on thestudent perspective of the type of lesson they will be teaching. A discussion of best practices forfacilitating this kind of experience concluded the first day. The second day was dedicated to thefamiliarization of the problem-framing activities

due to the complexity of designing, time management,and money constraints. 3D pens offer a lower cost alternative that provide immediate gratification for users. Inthis project, instructors demonstrate how 3D pens can be used to teach biomedical engineering in middleschool classrooms.This STEM lesson will use hands-on/minds-on materials while walking students through the EngineeringDesign Process: Ask, Imagine, Plan, Create, Improve (Museum of Science Boston, 2020). During the unit, thestudents integrate each of the STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) in a fun andaccessible way by using 3D pens to create models. LEARNING GOALS: Students will effectively design and construct a prototype prosthesis using a 3D pen
expect that the physicalartifact which a group creates is representative of a shared understanding among the group, fromstudies of engineering design with adults, we know that coming to this shared understanding ofthe problem, the team strategy, and the design artifact itself requires intense negotiation.Designers must communicate across all members of a team in order to establish roles andrelationships, plan and change activities, gather and share information, generate and adoptconcepts, and avoid and resolve conflict (Cross, 2011). Studies of elementary engineeringeducation illustrate the ways in which young children manage these elements of designingtogether (Jordan & McDaniel, 2014; Roth, 1996; Moore et al., 2019; Wright et al., 2018

assessed thedifferences in student perceptions towards pursuing an engineering degree by grade level, race,and gender post taking part in a week-long residential academy. Results show that majority ofthe participants’ interests and knowledge of engineering increased because of taking part in theweek-long academies. More boys (84.3%) planned to take more math and science courses inhigh school than girls (60%) post completing the academies. Also, highlighted in the findingswere the representations of groups who are traditionally under-represented in the fields ofengineering. The academy tailored for girls were very successful in recruiting African Americanstudents. Overall, the week-long academies and instructors on the university campus

We discuss findings from analyses of data across three yearsfrom content knowledge tests (Diagnostic Mathematics Assessments for Middle School Teachers[DTAMS]), surveys (Teacher Efficacy and Attitudes Toward STEM [T-STEM], individualinterviews and focus groups, teacher generated design lesson plans, and observations asparticipating teachers implemented lessons in their classrooms.Teachers who participated all three years discussed the integration of engineering design,complex

Students were asked about theirfuture plans and nearly all of the students who responded to the final survey reported that theywere planning to attend their first-choice college. Most of the participating students weregraduating seniors, but 6 were juniors and reported that they would be attending high school nextyear. Of the graduating seniors (who completed the year-end survey), all reported that theywould be attending higher education the following year. Moreover, all students were acceptedinto one of their top choice colleges/universities. All but one reported that they planned onattending a top choice college or university.
