There were casesin which data sources conflicted (e.g., one design plan written in a journal but another enacted);we noted those conflicts in the design summaries. Even when we primarily drew from one datasource (e.g., interviews for RQ1) in answering a research question, we could interpret evidencefrom that data source in the

Consequently, for a teacher to become an expert teacher in a subject matter, the teachershould first comprehend the subject area knowledge with a degree of flexibility and adaptabilitythat enables them to transform that knowledge into “forms that are pedagogically powerful andyet, adaptive to the variations in ability and background presented to the students” [24, p.15].However, the transition from personal beliefs about content to reflecting on how to organize

The increased emphasis is reflected by theinclusion of CT in the Standards for Technological and Engineering Literacy (STEL) [2] and theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [1]. These standards promote the integration of CTwithin authentic, design-based engineering and science contexts. While the benefits ofintegrating CT and engineering practices are clear, there is still much to learn about the methodsused to integrate CT within authentic engineering design challenges. One strategy, physicalcomputing (the design, programming, and

Next year the mentors will explain to the apprentices how to comment theircode effectively for others to use.Upon reflection, it would have been helpful to have conflict resolution training for the mentors tobetter help the apprentice teams that were having interpersonal issues.

BackgroundIn 2014, the inclusion of engineering content and practices at the same substantive level asscientific inquiry in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [9-11] raised concerns fromengineering educators [12-14]. Concerns reflected the limited preparation that engineeringeducators believed many P-12 science educators had to teach engineering concepts in great depth[12-16]. The NGSS also prompted concerns from both P-12 science and engineering educatorsregarding increased potential safety hazards and resulting risks that science educators wouldneed to be prepared to address when tasked with delivering hands-on, design-based engineeringinstruction [1,4,5,11,14,17

In applying this framework, we sought to ensure that theactivities and assessments emphasized the elements of sociotransformative constructivism:dialogic conversations, authentic activity, metacognition, and reflexivity. To do this, we gatheredinitial information from the participating community educators through the application process(see description below) in order to inform the creation of authentic activities that reflect the skillsof geospatial professionals contextualized to the locations of the camps.
