Implementation Strategies for STEM Learning using a Computer-Based Simulation

• In Event: D&D- Implementation Strategies for STEM Learning using a Computer-Based Simulation

Short Description

We describe an intervention's design, implementation, and evaluation to prepare teachers for implementing computer-based simulations using experiential learning as a theoretical framework. We identify and validate effective implementation strategies. The intervention includes professional development in a scientific approach to simulating ecosystems and using six experiential learning principles as a framework for implementing a simulation on ecosystems to meet classroom standards.
