Paper ID #32827Improving Integrated STEM Education: The Design and Development of aK-12 STEM Observation Protocol (STEM-OP) (RTP)Dr. Emily Anna Dare, Florida International University Dr. Emily Dare is an Assistant Professor of Science Education at Florida International University. Dr. Dare’s research interests focus on K-12 STEM education. In particular, she is interested in supporting science teachers’ pedagogy while also exploring their beliefs about teaching and learning. As science classrooms shift towards integrated STEM approaches that include engineering design as a central com- ponent, this is especially critical

This informationwas easily accessible via the log, and instructors could input final grades using the guide shownin Figure 4 (created by all instructors involved in the course). Final grades were given as A, B, C,D, and F, but the guide incorporated +/- to show the grade progression throughout the image.

You may choose the gym, cafeteria, football stadium, auditorium, science lab, classroom, or any other space on a school campus in which students gather. Once you have identified a space on which to focus, conduct an analysis of the space, keeping in mind the following questions: a. Who uses the space and how do they interact? b. What activities occur there? c. What features of the space matter most, and what quality of those features must be maintained during social distancing? d.

While the jobs are available andpossess an enjoyable challenge, the entry level wage may be a barrier to entry for many youngpeople who are looking to start a family and gain their independence. Of course, as demandincreases for qualified machinists, the wages will most likely increase to attract more employees.Based on these results, companies and educators need to work together to recruit more youngpeople, who are preparing for college, to choose a career as a machinist.

shouldbe the most important or the highest priority. While it seems true that the health, safety, andwelfare of the public should be high priorities for engineers, there are certain situations where itmay not be possible to hold both safety and welfare paramount at the same time. As it is worded,the code of ethics provides no guidance as to which should be given final priority in such cases.The concepts of health, safety, and welfare have been central to engineering ethics since 1935when a Society Code of Ethics was first suggested for consideration in the May issue of TheAmerican Engineer [14]. The suggested language, in this document, included health, safety, andwelfare as the second of a series of engineering ethical principles, stating, “B. (1

Previousstudies about raising interest in STEM majors focused on (a) the number of undergraduatestudents who decide on a major prior to attending college, (b) common misconceptions regardingthe STEM field, and (c) the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques to increase curiosity.However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, pedagogical techniques to introduce K-12 students tothe STEM fields must be adjusted.
