EVIDENCE-BASED STEM TEACHING STRATEGIES

Catalog description

This learning experience is designed to provide graduate level training on teaching at the postsecondary level. Evidence-based teaching methods applicable to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) will be investigated and a learner-based pedagogy will be used to engage those in the course to experience STEM practices. The common element of problem solving is emphasized across all STEM disciplines allowing for discovery, exploration, and application of critical thinking skills. Primary tasks include developing a unit on Canvas that includes learning outcomes, lecture and activities, and assessments, a teaching philosophy, and engaging with technologies that support and enhance teaching and learning.
