      Possible connections to STEM Scouts here. Scouts might use this site to gather data in locations other than their own, for example, or may collaborate on other people's projects. Should there be a badge for supporting other people's STEM work?

Education Week: States Mulling Creativity Indexes for Schools - 3 views

STEMScouts creativity

shared by anonymous on 02 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin recently announced plans for a public-private partnership to produce an innovation index for schools, which she described as a "public measurement of the opportunities for our students to engage in innovative work."
  • "We're tapping into a very clear need, as expressed particularly by employers, to reincorporate into the curriculum and school experience many opportunities for young people to develop creativity-oriented skills," said Massachusetts Sen. Stan Rosenberg, a Democrat and the lead sponsor of his chamber's 2010 bill calling for the index
  • fostering creativity has become a high priority among some of the United States' top economic competitors. In a recent Education Week Commentary, Byong-man Ahn, a former South Korean minister of education, said that "creating the type of education in which creativity is emphasized over rote learning" is a top education goal for his government.

  • In fact, some emerging research seems to point to two critical aspects of creativity that can be hard to teach: the willingness to take risks and learn from failure, and the ability to transfer ways of solving problems between seemingly unrelated situations
  • they are keenly aware of the dangers of crafting an oversimplified index that fails to adequately reflect opportunities for creativity, or that fosters the wrong incentives
  • In California, the bill passed in January to develop a creativity index is similar to the Massachusetts measure, but is explicitly identified as a voluntary index. Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, vetoed a version without that stipulation, included in a broader bill, last year

      The blurb that sent me to the article said this... "Researchers involved in four studies say they can predict which students may be leaders as adults based on the behaviors and experiences of their youth. Factors found to be predictive of future leadership included the tendency to engage in response to a new situation and an inner motivation to try new things and gain skills. The studies suggest teachers encourage leadership skills in students by allowing them to pursue mastery and success through real-life experiences, rather than relying on rewards such as test scores and classroom prizes." I didn't see all of that in the article, however.

      To me, this is a sign that the "access issue" (not all kids having access to the technologies needed for STEM Scouts) is an issue that will pass as we develop the program.

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.

    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.
