Different models of STEM education exist and theimplementation of educational robotics to pre-college students has been deemed impactful ininfluencing the students’ interest in STEM fields. This is due to the accessibility of educationalrobotics as well providing an engaging, hands-on method of

Discipline-Based Educational Research Outside of the ClassroomAbstractThis “tricks of the trade” paper seeks to support new researchers interested in conductingdiscipline-based educational research outside of the classroom setting. Based on national calls,we need to increase science literacy and expanding our efforts to informal science, technology,engineering, and math (STEM) learning will support these calls to action. Traditionally,discipline-based educational research in STEM has been conducted in typical classroomenvironments. This can include classrooms from preschool through higher education. However,there is an ever-widening set of opportunities afforded to people to learn about STEM careersand STEM topics outside of the classroom. To better
of mathematics to complex systems is also a crucial aspect of engineering asdemonstrated by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) criteria: “Anability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology toengineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensivepractical knowledge.” [7] These standards demonstrate the interdisciplinary nature ofengineering and the need to conceptually understand mathematics through problem-solving.The purpose of this study is to explore and discover what elements lead to good problem-solvingtasks in an active learning mathematics focused classroom. Elements were determined usinginterviews with mathematics instructors that

ImprovementRather than saving forms in individual student folders, require the students to use a standardnaming format for their files, for example, Lab 01 Joe Student, and then store all of the lab formsin one folder. This will make exporting the forms into Excel quicker because all of the files canbe selected at one time.As a general issue, the majority of our students are white and male.
