The Scientific and Engineering Practices as outlined in A Framework for K-12 Science Education, released by the National Research Council provides the basis for students to gain a deeper understanding science content through the use of hands-on science investigations and engineering design activities.  Often these remain as engaging activities without adding depth to the students’ understanding of the science core ideas. Research-based instructional strategies utilized in STEM programs require a more rigorous approach to describing the scientific ideas that underlie the activity. 

The question becomes:

As teachers begin to address the Science Core Disciplinary Ideas through the lens of STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology and Mathematics) instructional strategies, how and why should the Scientific and Engineering Design Practices be integrated into investigations?

Using the Framework for K-12 Science Education can be the basis for this depth of understanding by:

·       Providing research-based science core disciplinary ideas

·       Connecting the ideas with Cross-cutting concepts

·       Utilizing scientific and engineering practices and

·       Providing guidance in the assessment of the depth of knowledge gained by students and a measure of achievement in understanding the core disciplinary ideas in science.

课程大纲

Week 1: Learn about the Framework for K-12 Science Education and how it is organized by Practices, Crosscutting Concepts and Core Ideas for one specific grade level or content strand.  Understand how the organization of the Framework will guide teachers in the development of deeper student understanding in science.

Week 2: Explore the Scientific and Engineering Practices to understand how they are similar processes with very different outcomes.  Based on an understanding of how these practices are utilized by the STEM Workforce, analyze how each practice is used in a relevant, real-world problem-based situation.

Week 3: Identify how the components of the K-12 Framework and the Scientific and Engineering Practices are intertwined in units of instruction. Gain an understanding of how formative assessments show the cognitive level of student knowledge of the core scientific disciplinary ideas.  

Week 4: Analyze the structure of summative assessments such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), TIMMS, NAEP and other standardized test items gain an understanding of how these assessments evaluate student content knowledge and the scientific and engineering design practices.
