NSTA Web Seminar Series: Prioritizing Relationships and Equity: Leveraging Student Ideas to Accelerate Learning

Teachers can accelerate learning for students when they develop classroom communities where students feel known and valued. Join us for this web seminar series starting Tuesday, February 8, 2022, where we explore the connection between deep science learning and student opportunities to express, clarify, and represent their ideas in a supportive learning community, while receiving feedback from their trusted peers and teacher.

Young children come to school with a natural curiosity, along with a collection of ideas, experiences, and interests, that are tailored to the exploratory nature of STEM. Teachers can leverage these students' assets and foster shared classroom experiences that serve as the foundation for student discovery.

STEM Teaching Reform: Incremental Pathways

Journal of College Science Teaching—September/October 2021 (Volume 51, Issue 1)

By Yunteng He

For almost 1,000 years, lecture has been the predominant form of teaching. There has been increasing pressure to abandon lecturing and instead use more active learning strategies. An unfortunate outcome is that didactic lecture remains the dominant form of teaching in undergraduate STEM courses. This situation has critically impeded the adoption of active learning strategies that would likely have promoted student learning beyond where it is today. The primary position of this point of view article is to discuss a structure for dissecting the teaching reform into incremental pathways that can be applied to instructional decisions.
