). For overthree decades, many researchers conducted various conceptualization studies on PCK (Grossman1990; Cochran et al., 1993; Loughran et al., 2012; Van Driel et al., 1998; Gess-Newsome 1999;Magnusson et al., 1999; Hashweh, 2005; Abell, 2008; Park and Oliver, 2008; Kind, 2009). Amongthese models, Magnusson et al. (1999)’s PCK model has been widely used in pre-service and in-service teacher education. In these prior efforts, most of the studies have argued for threeknowledge domains: content (subject) knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and contextualknowledge were the basic domains affected by teachers’ PCK (Abell, 2008; Cochran et al., 1993;Gess-Newsome, 1999; Grossman, 1990). In our approach, we identified four knowledge domains by
. Students establish methodologies for recognizing minerals based on what theyhave learned. From this knowledge, they develop recovery processes motivated by points foreach mineral correctly collected, identified, and accounted for. This can be used as one form ofinsight into the curriculum’s influence on the team’s decision processes and also an indicator ofwhether student learning of science occurred through the use of the structured EDP [30], [32],[33].

Radunzel et al.’s recent study [7, p. 1] found that“students with both expressed and measured interest in STEM were more likely to persist andcomplete a STEM degree than those with either expressed or measured interest only, as well asthose with no interest in STEM.” Furthermore, research is investigating the troubling phenomenaof extended time to finish college and higher drop-out rates for STEM programs as compared toothers [e.g., 8].STEM by the numbersPines [9] writes that “one of the greatest and most enduring strengths of the United States hasbeen its ability to attract global talent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) to bolster its economic and technological competitiveness

student interest and attitudes [17]. Interest in engineering has also been shown toincrease with outreach [18]. Additional work has shown that students participating in anengineering camp were more likely than control students to take STEM courses in high school[19].STEM identity describes the extent to which an individual sees themselves as a “science person”,“math person”, etc. [20]. STEM identity has also been linked to youth enrolling inpost-secondary STEM education [21]. Fit or belonging is also believed to be a factor in gendergaps in STEM enrolment, where explanations based on abilities, interest, and self-efficacy fallshort [22].While we list a number of possible constructs above, it is unclear which one(s) (such as STEMidentity and self

Integrating STEM fields is essential forsolving complex problems in the information age (Chai, 2018). In contrast to the tendency inK-12 education to treat S, T, E, and M as separate disciplines, integrated STEM educationcombines these subjects to represent real-world contexts (Aguirre-Muñoz et al., 2020;Baptista et al., 2023). This student-centered and integrative approach enables students toconfront practical challenges by drawing insights and skills from both STEM and non-STEMfields. For instance
learn to see individualstructures or features, and to ask what function that structure or feature accomplishes and whythat is important to the organism. When students are practiced in this, they “learn to see theworld through new eyes” – the world around them is no longer part of the background of theirlives, but rather is now filled with potential solutions to challenging design problems [16].Curriculum BID specific ActivitiesSeveral standard lessons and activities were used for teaching engineering, brainstorming forideas, and as empathy building exercises for problem description. For example, we useSCAMPER, a semi-structured approach to ideation and improving ideas. The categories are, (S)Substitute, (C) Combine, (A) Adapt, (M) Modify

The presentations were seven minutes in lengthand required students to identify the problem, describe the different thermal regulation systemsin nature (i.e., polar bear, whale blubber, penguins, etc.) they explored for their design solution,which system(s) were incorporated into their design and how they were incorporated.Additionally, students presented their design iterations, including models/images, along withresults and modifications for each design, leading to their final design solution. The presentationswere audio-recorded and transcribed for data analysis.Finally, students completed an engineering survey (pre-post), which comprised 5-point Likert-scale items
