  • EDUC 5741: STEM for Teaching K-6 Science

    3.00 Credits
    Utah Valley University

    Prerequisite(s): Utah professional educator license. Focuses on STEM integration through the lens of science. Identifies and distinguishes STEM models as they examine, engage in, and implement three dimensions of science instruction, Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs), Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs), and Crosscutting concepts (CCCs), through the use of authentic phenomena. Teaches participants to apply pedagogical practices that help K-6 students develop the disciplinary literacy needed to authentically communicate in science and helps students develop the skills needed to integrate science with other disciplines. Instructs participants to model practices to build their capacity to create effective student-centered learning environments and instruction. Emphasizes authentic connections between science and technology, engineering design, and mathematics.
