Elementary Education

  
  • ELED 4332 - STEAM Education



    ELED 4332 will help prepare preservice elementary teachers to plan and teach in an integrative manner. Students will learn the definitions of STEM/STEAM literacy and integrative STEM/STEAM education. Students will work collaboratively to design and build design-based lesson plans that give the learner explicit opportunities to apply standards-based knowledge and build enduring understandings in the context of engineering and/or art. Additionally, students will begin to participate in an active learning community of educators and STEAM professionals. Finally, students will demonstrate their own understandings of integrative STEM/STEAM education by completing a culminating design project.

Teacher Education

  
  • EDTD 6033 - Integrative STEM/STEAM Education: A Pedagogical Approach



    EDTD 6033 will help students learn the definitions of STEM literacy and integrative STEM/STEAM (iSTEM/iSTEAM) education. Additionally, students will study strategies that support such an approach to teaching and learning. Strategies will include, but not be limited to, project-based learning, problem-based learning, place-based education and design-based learning. Thus, candidates will be prepared to demonstrate their understandings of STEM education as a transdisciplinary, collaborative endeavor through classroom and/or curricular applications (GA 505-3-1, 3 & 4).
