MethodWe now detail the steps we took to develop and implement the ADE instructional frameworkand the associated data collection that occurred concurrently with these steps. First, we detail thesteps we took to develop the framework and the four associated EDTs during the 2016-2017academic year. We then detail the steps we took during the first phase of classroomimplementation during the 2017-2018 academic year.IV.a.

A previous researchproject investigated documentation methods using a variety of media with rising high schooljuniors in a summer session of a college preparatory program [1]. That study revealed thatalthough students had design

Paper ID #34586Learning Through Doing: Preservice Elementary Teacher Reflections on theEngineering Design Process (Fundamental)Dr. Matthew Perkins Coppola, Purdue University Fort Wayne Dr. Perkins Coppola is an Assistant Professor of Science Education in the School of Education at Purdue University Fort Wayne. His research agenda centers on elementary and secondary preservice teacher preparation. While a lecturer at Towson University in 2014, he was inspired to research engineering design pedagogy in elementary schools after attending a talk by Dr. Pamela Lottero-Perdue. He began his career as a high school physics teacher

Cunningham has previously served as director of en- gineering education research at the Tufts University Center for Engineering Educational Outreach, where her work focused on integrating engineering with science, technology, and math in professional devel- opment for K-12 teachers. She also directed the Women’s Experiences in College Engineering (WECE) project, the first national, longitudinal, large-scale study of the factors that support young women pursu- ing engineering degrees. At Cornell University, where she began her career, she created

Pre-College Engineering Education
: Online Teacher Professional Learning (Evaluation)IntroductionTo be successful in a 21st century global economy, engineers must develop a broad knowledgebase that allows them to contribute to diverse interdisciplinary teams and to creatively solveproblems faced by humanity [1]. In undergraduate and graduate engineering programsthroughout the United States, more higher education institutions are beginning to implement bio-inspired design (BID) into their engineering curriculum to better prepare their eventual graduatesfor a cross-disciplinary career (e.g., [2]; [3]). To do so, programs throughout the United Stateshave begun to integrate BID in various ways into their undergraduate and graduate-levelcurriculum, including through small modules, full

students’identity development and subsequent interest in STEM courses and careers (Morgan et al.,2016). Yet elementary teachers often have little preparation or background to teach engineeringand need support to be able to integrate engineering design into elementary science classroomsettings. Thus, research must examine the ways that elementary teachers verbally supportengineering practices. This paper explores how elementary teachers verbally support students’engagement in engineering practices in an NGSS-aligned unit. In particular, this paper comparesthe same teachers implementing the same curriculum across two class sections with differentstudent populations. By exploring teacher talk across two different student contexts, we aim tohelp the field

exclusively in those states that have adopted the Next Generation ScienceStandards, which include engineering performance expectations at all grades [1]. Aside from itsinclusion in the NGSS, there are many reasons for even the youngest K-12 students to learn toengineer. Engineering is motivating for students, engages their creativity, introduces them toengineering careers and helps to reinforce and apply scientific and mathematical knowledge [2-5]. Engineers and K-12 students alike use iterative engineering design processes to solveproblems [3, 6-8]. The designed solution to a problem is often an object (e.g., a bridge), but canalso be a system or process. In the early part of design processes, students: define the problem;consider relevant knowledge

Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (Fundamental)IntroductionIn spite of efforts to diversify the engineering workforce, the profession remains largelydominated by White, male engineers [1]. Better approaches are needed to attract and retainunderrepresented groups to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers,such as engineering.One literacy-based approach that has been shown to provide effective instruction for K-12students generally, and students from underrepresented groups specifically, is DisciplinaryLiteracy Instruction (DLI). DLI utilizes knowledge of the ways advanced practitioners read,interpret, and generate discipline-specific content in their professional environment to apprenticestudents

Kellerton reported 4% AfricanAmerican, 87% white, 6% two or more races, 3% Hispanic, and other categories too low toreport.We used two of four kindergarten classrooms at Adamsville, the single kindergarten classroom atBlakely, and two of three kindergarten classrooms at Kellerton. (Principals at Adamsville andKellerton preferred that our research not be conducted in the other kindergarten classrooms inwhich there were early-career teachers.) The study occurred during the second half of the schoolyear, when participants ranged in age from 5.5 to 7 years. A total of 53 kindergartnersparticipated in the study with the following rates of participation: (1) Adamsville (36%participation; 13 participants); (2) Blakely (100%; 9); and (3) Kellerton (70%; 31
