NASA-Threads是高中STEM课程的实践方法。来自三所地区高中的教师和来自STEM学科的大学教师开发了一个新的，具有挑战性的，跨学科的初中/高中物理/工程预科课程。NASA-Threads将基础科学和数学课程与工程应用和技术的适当使用结合起来，成为针对初中/高中的物理/工程预科课程。本课程的主题包括基础，技术，通信和NASA应用。基础知识，这是分组成块类似的主题，提供了教育经验的骨干。NASA的应用程序是战略性地介绍，以提供及时的，动手的基本面加强，技术知识和技能的逐步发展。严格的课程旨在引导学生通过科学和工程的现实世界的应用系统级的理解。这个项目提供了一个动手，上下文的方法来学生学习，以及教师的专业发展。作为课程的一部分，正在收集关于学生成果的数据，这些数据量化了高中生的学业自我效能、解决真实的世界问题、批判性思维技能、数学和科学成就、动机和目标定向以及STEM领域的职业或职业兴趣。此外，正在衡量教师的成果，包括自我效能。这张海报/论文将介绍通过K12学校系统和大学之间的合作伙伴关系开发的课程。
NASA-Threads is a hands-on, contextual approach to a high school STEM course. Teachers from three regional high schools and university faculty from STEM disciplines have developed a new, challenging, interdisciplinary junior/senior-level high school physics/pre-engineering curriculum. NASA-Threads integrates fundamental science and mathematics courses taught with engineering applications and the appropriate use of technology into a physics/pre-engineering curriculum targeting the junior/senior year of high school. The threads of this curriculum include Fundamentals, Technology, Communication, and NASA Applications. The fundamentals, which are grouped into blocks of similar topics, provide the backbone of the educational experience. NASA applications are strategically introduced to provide timely, hands-on reinforcement of fundamentals, and the progressive development of technical knowledge and skills. The rigorous curriculum is designed to guide students through a systems-level understanding of real-world applications of science and engineering. This project provides a hands-on, contextual approach to student learning, as well as teacher professional development. As part of the curriculum, data is being collected on student outcomes that quantify high school students’ academic self-efficacy, real world problem solving, critical thinking skills, achievement in mathematics and the sciences, motivational and goal orientation, and vocational or career interests in STEM fields. Additionally, teacher outcomes, including self-efficacy, are being measured. This poster/paper will present the curriculum developed through the collaborative partnership between K12 schools systems and university.
