Additionally, they were connected back to our prior studieson engineering education for preservice teachers and implementing STEM professionaldevelopment in vertically aligned PLCs [15], [37]. These elements of the courses offered insightinto STEM teacher self-efficacy in engineering and also revealed opportunities for increasedSTEM teacher agency and growth through hands-on activities.Self-efficacy as a framework for analyzing participants’ experiences and developmentWe selected Bandura’s [14] self-efficacy framework as a lens to examine

The studentsexplained how engaging in PjBL activities in the classroom boosted their confidence in using theengineering design process to solve problems they encountered in their homes. Some sampleexcerpts are:“I can solve problems, because I'm actually using it a lot more now since I'm stuck at home. Iuse a new design process, I think almost every day to try and solve a problem.”“I also think I could describe the engineering process to somebody just because we've used it somany times in this class.” “I also think that the engineering design process is more open minded,in a sense. It allows you to be more creative, because with science, there is usually a rightanswer, but with the engineering design

Spatial Vis sketching App1.2 Framework and DefinitionsThe terms spatial reasoning and spatial visualization are often incorrectly used interchangeably.Spatial reasoning involves three properties: 1) an awareness of space, such as distance anddimensions; 2) the representation of spatial information, in the mind or in maps or blueprints;and 3) the reasoning involved in interpreting this information for problem solving [6]. Thus,spatial reasoning comprises a range of spatial skills and includes skills like mental rotation,spatial orientation and

Three critical observations from the workshop include: 1) a limitation ofimmersion time into the program. Participants observed that the 2-day time frame wasinsufficient for them to learn what was expected. Authors concur and have doubled the workshopto 4 days for similar workshops in the future. 2) inability to ascertain whether the workshopchanged some students minds to

Although these instruments provide a variety of different designsto support the development of a new observational instrument, they are ill-suited for use inclassrooms that feature STEM integration, as they do not directly address instruction or learningthat occurs at the intersection of multiple disciplines. Further, these instruments were notdesigned with an integrated STEM education framework in mind, thus missing keycharacteristics of integrated STEM. The desire and need for such as instrument motivated thework reported here, which

It is to help you find out if you want tobe an engineer and, do you have what it takes to be an engineer?

manifest in this way leaving opportunities for educators to be mindful inworking toward equal-status in engineering teams. We have highlighted with a few briefexamples what high-status vs. equal-status vs. low-status can look like in a team. We believe it isimportant to be explicit about good teaming behaviors and call out what it can look like whenteammates are not treating each other equally or fairly. For example, in the example wepresented of a high-status member, the actions of Student A could be interpreted as the studentbeing decisive and a leader, behaviors we certainly like to see in students; however, if the studentis not aware of the fact that they are making unilateral decisions, they could begin to alienateother team members.

We also noticed that given the tasks that children were given, the level ofCT competencies they engaged in was different. BackgroundSTEM IntegrationOver the past fifteen years, engineering knowledge, practices and habits of mind have also begunreceiving greater attention at the elementary school level, as these engineering practices facilitatestudents’ skills in solving complex and real-world problems [1]–[3]. Recent studies suggest thatintegrating STEM provides more meaningful environments for students to foster their interestand connections to the real-world [4], [5]. In
