  This course is intended to assist pre-service teachers in helping their students learn discipline-specific content through instruction in reading and writing. In short, the course helps pre-service teachers teach their students to "read and write to learn." The methods used involve teaching students to become strategic readers who self-regulate their learning of the content and strategic writers who use writing to help them learn discipline-specific content.

• ED PS 5563: STEM Instruc & Outreach

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course will introduce contemporary topics in STEM education to scientists, mathematicians, and engineers with a goal of being able to implement evidence-based pedagogical practices in their teaching and becoming familiar with educational issues in their fields. A focus will be on examining current best practices in undergraduate STEM education through the lens of Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) with explorations into K-12 STEM education research. Assignments will focus on examining students' knowledge and reasoning about a STEM content topic of choice and then developing, teaching, and evaluating a 'teachable unit' on the chosen content topic. Readings will draw from a variety of fields including Math Education, Physics Education Research (PER), Chemistry Education Research (CER), Biology Education Research (BER), Geocognition, Computer Science (CS) Education, and Engineering Education. The ultimate goal is to help undergraduate STEM majors and graduate STEM students gain knowledge and experience with evidence-based pedagogical practices in their fields in preparation for careers that include STEM teaching in a variety of settings (e.g. lower and upper division STEM courses, STEM outreach).

• ED PS 5564: Teaching 3D Science

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  The purpose of this course is to support students in deepening their vision of and capacity for high-quality science teaching by developing research-based, responsive teaching practices. To achieve this purpose, students will learn to design phenomenon-based science learning experiences built around authentic, local issues related to environmental and social justice. Students will practice developing and implementing "three-dimensional" science learning activities that align with current national and state standards. This course will culminate with a final project that consists of a set of several fully developed, sequential lesson plans, a 'rehearsal' of a learning activity associated with one of those lessons, and reflective writing on these tasks. This course is open to all students. Students who are pre-service teachers tend to take it after EDU 5170.
