Bae, Haesol; Feng, Chen; Glazewski, Krista; Hmelo-Silver, Cindy E.; Chen, Yuxin; Mott, Bradford W.; Lee, Seung Y.; Lester, James C. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2023
Because implementing and orchestrating collaborative problem-based learning (PBL) in K-12 classrooms requires teachers to manage multiple activities and access various teaching resources at the same time, this is an exceptionally complex task for designers to develop tools for orchestration support as well as for teachers to coordinate. The aim of…

Paige, Kathryn; O'Keeffe, Lisa; Geer, Ruth; MacGregor, Denise; Panizzon, Debra – Teaching Science, 2019
Among educators there is no clear definition for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). This complicates its conception and application in schools. Thus, it is critical when working with students that we develop a common understanding of STEM, or at least understand and value the different perspectives that others may have. This…

Meyer, Helen – Education Sciences, 2018
In this paper, I share the results of a study of teachers' ideas about student decision-making at entry into a professional development program to integrate engineering into their instruction. The framework for the Engineering Design Process (EDP) was based on a Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) model. The EDP embedded within the CBL model suggests…

Chan, Joseph – International Education Studies, 2010
Donald Schon's theory of reflective learning (1983, 1987) has been the model of professional education for decades. Yet little research is done to examine the role of practitioners as part-time teachers in professional education in light of his ideas. This research investigated four programmes of professional education in Hong Kong: (a) a master…
