Guiding Student Thinking Through Teacher Questioning When Learning with Dynamic Representations
2021
Dynamic representations (e.g., dynamic geometry software GeoGebra for mathematics learning and PhET simulations for science learning) offer excellent opportunities for students to conduct investigations and to formulate explanations for the visualized phenomena. In order for this to be effective, students need guidance, for example, for planning their investigations and reflecting on their actions. One way to support students is by prompting them by using questions that are adapted to the students’ current situation. This chapter focuses on how pre-service teachers provide guidance for students through questioning and by both structuring and problematizing student learning. Data comes from …
The BioS4You European project: An innovative way to effectively engage Z-generation students in STEM disciplines
2021
In this contribution, we present the BioS4You project and analyse the results obtained in the first 18 months of its activity. The “Bio-Inspired STEM topics for engaging young generations” (BioS4You) Erasmus+ KA2 Innovation project aims to bridge the gap between STEM national curricula (which include Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and the needs of Z-generation students, uninterested to basic themes, but enthusiastic in issues related to environmental, social, and health concerns. The BioS4You project engages young learners in STEM subjects, starting with current issues of interest for them, as the social and environmental impact of new technologies, connecting STEM conce…
How can networks help encourage the development and professionalisation of innovative early STEM Education in a changing world?
2023
Maailma muuttuu monimutkaisemmaksi ja vaatii muun muassa STEM*-osaamista ja lukutaitoa oppijoilta, yhteisön jäseniltä ja yhteiskunnilta. Siksi laadukkaalle varhaiselle STEM-koulutukselle tarvitaan laajaa puolustamista. Tässä artikkelissa hahmotellaan, kuinka vaikutusverkostot (joita on muodostettu käsittelemään monimutkaisia sosiaalisia tai ympäristökysymyksiä) voivat edistää varhaisen STEM-koulutuksen kehittämistä ja ammattimaistumista. Sen tavoitteena on tukea alaa kehittäviä oppilaitoksia lisäämään työnsä vaikutusta paremman ja helposti saavutettavan koulutuksen puolesta maailmanlaajuisesti. Tutkittuaan varhaisen STEM-koulutuksen suunniteltuja vaikutuksia nykyisessä kontekstissa esitellä…
