Evidence-Based Practice for Early STEM Teaching and Learning: Diverse Adult Roles and Contexts

Fri, April 10, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 3rd Floor, Georgia I

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Early STEM education refers to learning experiences about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) for children aged three to eight years. This symposium presents four studies examining evidence-based practice in early STEM, emphasizing how adults can effectively facilitate children’s STEM experiences. While all four studies highlight adult support in early STEM, they differ in terms of target STEM subject (i.e., integrative STEM, mathematics, science, and technology), theoretical frameworks (i.e., Dewey’s experiential learning, Bandura’s self-efficacy, Vygotsky’s scaffolding, CASEL’s social emotional learning framework), educational contexts (i.e., teacher education, home-based instruction, robot-based programming intervention), and methodological approaches (mixed methods, experimental design, single-case study, systematic review).
