What is STEM? Science Technology Engineering Math A program founded by Judith A. Ramaley Our nation’s response to the lack of students’ interest in the field of science, technology, engineering and math
Strategies in STEM • Direct Instruction • Simulation • Concept teaching • Discussion • Cooperative Learning • Problem – Based Instruction
Inquiry – Based Learning Inquiry – based learning(IBL) : A process which integrates all the STEM strategies to keep students engaged. It is student driven, based on problem solving, exploratory learning, analysis and student discovery. • What becomes of the students? • They become active participants • They deepen their conceptual understanding • They become critical thinkers • They develop their ability to become problem solvers • They develop their ability to communicate • They develop the ability to become independent thinkers • and learners • They develop the confidence to take on bigger challenges • now and the future • Role of the teacher • Facilitators not disseminators • Lead students to a pathway of • discovery
How do we keep students engaged? By asking process questions, it forces critical thinking of the students. There are three types of process questions: Reversibility Flexibility Generalization
