STEMScouts NRCframework

shared by anonymous on 30 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • For example, the K-12 framework effectively turns attention away from a content-specific definition of STEM to a more epistemic one—the sources, strategies, or practices from which science and, by extension, STEM knowledge comes and, in turn, is shared. It may well be that this long-standing inability to come up with an appropriate definition for STEM is an outgrowth of framing STEM as a fixed entity, an "it" instead of an assemblage of practices and processes that transcend disciplinary lines and from which knowledge and learning of a particular kind emerges.
  • ogether with shared practices, these three dimensions of the NRC framework—practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas—reflect the realities of contemporary science and engineering, inclusive of mathematics, where concepts and practices, often very dependent on technologies, create productive bridges across STEM disciplines. Such bridges make interdisciplinary collaboration possible and, most importantly, provide a set of strategies and tools unique to the process of STEM learning and teaching.

Education Week: Public Gets Glimpse of Science Standards - 0 views

  • Other top priorities in the document are promoting depth over breadth in science education, ensuring greater coherence in learning across grade levels, and helping students understand the cross-cutting nature of crucial concepts, such as energy and matter, that span scientific disciplines
  • “First of all, it’s not just about what kids know; it’s about what they know and are able to do,” said Mr. McLaren, who also is the president of the Council of State Science Supervisors, an organization for science education officials. “It’s about using the practices of an engineer, a scientist, to gain a deeper understanding of the core knowledge.”
  • “One huge shift is moving away from covering everything, and instead doing what is essential and doing it very well,” she said.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The standards target four disciplines: the physical sciences; life sciences; earth and space sciences; and engineering, technology, and
  • Echoing the NRC framework, the standards document includes evolution as a core principle for understanding the life sciences. The draft is also explicit about the role humans play in climate change.
  • “Human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earth’s mean surface temperature (‘global warming’).”

  • Toshiba's S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education initiative in North America
  • Mr. Norio Sasaki, President and CEO of Toshiba Corporation, explains why the company has been so active in helping promote and extend the program in its first 20 years. "We founded ExploraVision with the goal of helping inspire students to pursue further education and potentially careers in science and technology fields. We believe it is essential that more young people discover their interest in these fields so that society will have the benefit of the scientists and engineers we need to build a better future," he noted.
  • Toshiba launched a yearlong campaign to help promote STEM education called The Toshiba STEMpowerment Project.

    McGraw-Hill Education just launched the STEM Innovative Educator Awards to recognize and reward teachers who are finding innovative ways to reach today's students. The awards, known as the STEMIEs, will acknowledge teachers who are pioneering effective techniques to engage their students in science, technology, engineering, or math - fields of study critical to our nation's economic growth. Teachers can enter by submitting a 2-minute video, a short essay, and lesson plan that demonstrate an innovative lesson or other project from their classroom. First place will receive $15,000, second place gets $5,000 and third place wins $2,500, plus McGraw-Hill will grant an additional $2,500 in other awards. In addition to the judging panel, members of the general public will have the opportunity to vote online for their favorite video. Applications will be accepted through May 31, 2012. For more information about the STEMIEs, please visit www.mheonline.com/stemie.

    STEM education is an interdisciplinary approach, blending four disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) into one cohesive learning and teaching paradigm. STEM education focuses on real-world scenarios. A STEM classroom promotes integrated learning, investigation, and questioning. It places an emphasis on design and problem solving and blends the disciplines through research topics.

  • Humans have a few basic needs: air, food, water, clothing, shelter, belonging, intimacy and Wi-Fi.
  • Creativity is the secret sauce to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
  • It is a STEM virtue.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Creativity is really the art of metaphor.
  • Metaphors create a linkage between two dissimilar ideas and are useful in the sciences because they allow information to be attained by connecting the unknown with the known.2 And this is the key element to scientific creativity.
  • the skills of the 21st century need us to create scholars that can link the unlinkable. These scholars must be willing to try many combinations before finding the right answer. They must be comfortable with concepts that they can play with in new ways. We want smart-thinking creative people.
