A continuousmentoring approach is critical to getting teachers ready to facilitate the activities.

a learning environment in STEMeducation [1], but less is known about conducting engineering design challenge activities inhome environments. Although many studies highlight the development of STEM concepts andskills, more research is needed to understand how to support this development through caregiver-child interactions at home. This study aims to (a) investigate caregiver-child interactions thatsupport the development of child(ren)’s STEM conceptualizations and skills in engineeringdesign challenge activities within family pedagogical practices, and (b) examine caregivers’pedagogical expectations within family pedagogy. Guided by Vygotsky’s cultural-historicalview, the authors analyze child(ren)’s development of STEM conceptualizations
children go aboutsupporting their children 's engineering learning—especially given the upswing in the number ofchildren being homeschooled in the U.S. over the past decade [1] [2], which is expected tosteadily grow in the future. Thus, in this study we aim to investigate the role a homeschoolparent plays in their child’s engineering learning. Literature review In the last decade computers have become less of a cutting-edge technology and more ofa commonality in every household. The shift in technology from exciting innovation to pertinenttools requires more than the ability to use computers for work. In fact, it is becomingincreasingly pertinent for children to think like computer scientists and

Similar to theevaluative frameworks, we found that all of the socially situated activities we identified wereused by engineers from both disciplines. For example, these activities include troubleshootingroot cause(s) of failure and multimodal communication as shown in Figure 2.In discerning relationships between the three layers of literacy practices (i.e., genres,frameworks, and socially situated activities) shown in Figure 2, we noticed two things. First, thegenres that an engineer chose to engage with were mediated by the interpretive or evaluativeframework they were

pressure on teachers to include engineering as part of their curricula. Learning toteach engineering involves a different way of approaching curricula than what many teachers areused to. As Brophy et al. [5] points out: when a teacher approaches teaching engineering design and what engineers do, the ‘answer in the book’ system breaks down. [S/He] has no list of correct answers (i.e. a design solution) because ill-structured and open-ended problems are designed to have multiple ‘correct’ answers. Teachers must become comfortable and proficient with the engineering process and learn to quickly recognize where learners are in the process…Many teachers lack the content knowledge and experience to make such an

In other words, if a teacher can develop students’ 21st-century skills, the students are more likely to be successful in STEM fields in the future.RQ2: How situational are teachers’ subjective theories of troublemaking behaviorand troublemakers?
