Granatosky – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
Access to high-quality outreach programs is crucial for preparing students for STEM careers, yet traditional classrooms often lack diverse, hands-on learning opportunities, particularly in anatomy and evolutionary biology. We present "Are You Stronger Than a Lemur?"--an interactive STEM activity that introduces K-12 students to…

Bornasal, Floraliza; Brown, Shane; Perova-Mello, Natasha; Beddoes, Kacey – Journal of Engineering Education, 2018
Background:Concepts are defined generally as fundamental principles or global understandings specific to a field of expertise. Theories of situated cognition suggest that concepts may not have uniform meaning or representation in a particular social setting. Purpose/Hypothesis: The goal of this study was to investigate the process by which…

Farmer, Jim – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2018
In issue 31(2) of the "Australian Senior Mathematics Journal", Kok (2017) describes a useful four-step process for investigating number patterns and identifying the underlying function. The process is demonstrated for both linear and quadratic functions. With respect to the quadratic example, I provide an additional idea relevant to step…

Transforming School Discipline: Shifting from Power and Control to Collaboration and Problem Solving
Greene, Ross W. – Childhood Education, 2018
Education innovation is important to ensure that we are providing the best support and preparation for our children for all aspects of their lives. Therefore, it is important to examine and improve our practices in all aspects of education, including how we respond to challenging student behaviors.

Martins, Rui Manuel da Costa – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2018
Using the famous Birthday problem, we present here a practical activity that allows students to perceive the basic reasoning behind simulation and explore its potential. Through a playful approach with probabilities, students are led along a path that illustrates difficulties with intuition and introduces them to theoretical results for sample…

The ability of students to problem solve begins with interpreting the problem. When they interpret the problem inaccurately, they will likely use ineffective strategies or fail to solve the problem. Studies reported students are often incapable of identifying and articulating the problem goal, requirements/constraints, and expected output. In…

Saló i Nevado, Laia; Pehkonen, Leila – Vocations and Learning, 2018
This study explored what kind of mathematics is needed in cabinetmakers' everyday work and how problem solving is intertwined in it. The informants of the study were four Finnish cabinetmakers and the data consisted of workshop observations, interviews, photos, pictures and sketches made by the participants during the interviews. The data was…

Beghetto, Ronald – ASCD, 2018
If a fundamental goal of schooling is to prepare young people for the unknowable future, why do we assign students so many clearly defined tasks with predetermined solutions? According to educator and creativity expert Ronald A. Beghetto, the best way to unleash students' problem solving and creativity--and thus prepare them to face real-world…

Klein, Julie Thompson – Issues in Interdisciplinary Studies, 2021
Prompted by William Newell's 2013 call for the Association of Interdisciplinary Studies (AIS) to consider whether to rethink its mission in light of other organizations' interests, this article begins by reflecting on similarities and differences among five of the founding organizations of a recently formed Global Alliance for Inter- and…

Ergül, N. Remziye; Çalis, Sevgül – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2021
In the secondary and high school science program implemented in Turkey in 2018, the importance of engineering and design skills is underlined under domain-specific skills. The purpose of this study, in which case study method, one of the qualitative research methods, is used to examine the engineering design skills of high school students within…

Tan, Aik-Ling; Liang, Jyh-Chong; Tsai, Chin-Chung – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This study used three previously validated instruments, namely Science Academic Hardiness (SAH), Students' Conceptions of Learning Science (COLS) and Science Learning Self-Efficacy (SLSE) on 431 Singaporean students. Using structural equation modeling, results showed that the SAH commitment dimension a positive predictor explaining both the…

Jackson, Julie K.; Forsythe, Michelle; Parthemore, Joseph; Rix, Alexis; Medeiros, Danielle – Science and Children, 2021
Engineering design-based learning entered the discourse of science education with the release of the "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead States 2013). Since that time there has been a focused effort to embed engineering design and engineering-based thinking in elementary school experiences. As thinking like an engineer is…

Hsu, Yu-Chang; Ching, Yu-Hui; Callahan, Janet; Bullock, Doug – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2021
STEM major students often enter colleges with a need to strengthen their foundational mathematics, such as trigonometry. We designed an innovative undergraduate course that aims to strengthen students' trigonometry knowledge application through programming mobile apps. We explored how students applied trigonometry concepts in developing their…

Chillakanti, Pratap; Ekwaro-Osire, Stephen; Ertas, Atila – Education Sciences, 2021
Transdisciplinary research (TR) is a growing field in a myriad of subject domains ranging from sustainability to education. The idea is to solve complex problems through the collaborative participation of academic actors, community stakeholders, governments, and other leaders to jointly define the problem and find solutions. To accomplish such…

Brakoniecki, Aaron; Amador, Julie M.; Glassmeyer, David M. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
This article examines a common proportional reasoning problem used in schools, often referred to as the Orange Juice task. The authors show how these six strategies described by Nikula (e.g., Unitizing, Norming, etc.) and one additional strategy can be used to either solve or make progress in the Orange Juice task. The article presents work from…
