Sun, April 11, 2:30 to 4:00pm EDT (2:30 to 4:00pm EDT), Division L, Division L - Section 7 Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium comprises four projects funded via the National Science Foundation’s RAPID grants for research on COVID-19 in K-12 STEM education. Three studies use large databases and national samples, and the fourth provides a more detailed analysis of a small group of teachers who incorporate COVID-19 into their instruction. The symposium will discuss what teachers, students, and families report about their experiences in STEM teaching and learning during COVID 19, and if they have the resources to teach and learn. These studies are designed to illuminate how educational experiences of students vary based on race/ethnicity, income, geography, or digital access. Together, these studies promise a lively and state-of-the art discussion on STEM education in an era of COVID-19.
