Description
SEM 704 will give students the opportunity to explore STEM contents, technologies, instructional strategies, and assessments necessary in designing and developing a research-based, interdisciplinary, project-‐enhanced environment. In SEM 704 students will experience, evaluate, and design interdisciplinary, project-‐enhanced environments within STEM classrooms.
Course Objectives
By the conclusion of SEM 704, students will:
- Describe a variety of research-based technologies, models, and/or visual representations to aid in the development of and discourse within a project-enhanced STEM classroom.
- Experience and analyze research-based, project-enhanced units that use a range of methods and materials that will support instruction accounting for developmental,cultural, and linguistic differences among students.
- Describe a variety of research-based assessments to inform instruction.
- Conduct focused and sustained observations of physical phenomena.
