Abstract

Integrating computational programming and modeling in science classrooms necessitates the design of appropriate learning technologies and pedagogical materials, as well as a concurrent emphasis on teacher professional learning. We present an investigation of how teacher professional learning that focuses on integrating STEM disciplinary practices through an emphasis on computational modeling and engineering design can contribute to supporting teachers with little or no background in programming and modeling with science curricula in developing and enacting STEM learning designs in their classrooms.
