The Development, Implementation, and Effectiveness of an Instructional Approach for Integrated STEM Education
Mon, April 16, 4:05 to 6:05pm, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Second Floor, Gramercy Room EastSession Type: Invited Speaker Session
Abstract
Over the past decade, young peoples’ declining interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) has been a key theme in science education research and policy. A number of instructional approaches to foster student’s interest in STEM have been developed. One approach is integrated STEM education. We developed and studied the effectiveness of an instructional approach for integrated STEM education in secondary schools. In this symposium we introduce the theoretical framework we used to develop the instructional approach. Based on our study results we show how teachers affect the implementation of the instructional approach for integrated STEM education in the classroom. In addition, we highlight the impact of integrated STEM education on students’ attitudes towards STEM and students’ cognitive outcomes.
