摘要最近的美国国家文件为强调K-12水平的科学，技术，工程和数学之间的联系奠定了基础。然而，没有一个明确的定义或一个良好的传统是什么构成了质量工程教育在K-12水平。当前工作的目的是开发一个框架，用于描述优质K-12工程教育的构成要素。本文提出的框架是一个研究项目的结果，该项目的重点是理解和确定教师和学校在课堂上实施工程和工程设计的方式。框架中包括的关键指标的发展是基于对文献的广泛回顾，为本科生和专业组织制定的标准，国家学术内容标准的文件内容分析，在科学，数学和技术，并与工程和工程教育领域的专家咨询。该框架旨在作为一种工具，用于评估学术标准，课程和教学实践的程度，以解决质量K-12工程教育的重要组成部分。此外，该框架可用于通知未来K-12工程和STEM教育标准和计划的发展和结构。
AbstractRecent U.S. national documents have laid the foundation for highlighting the connection between science, technology, engineering andmathematics at the K-12 level. However, there is not a clear definition or a well-established tradition of what constitutes a qualityengineering education at the K-12 level. The purpose of the current work has been the development of a framework for describing whatconstitutes a quality K-12 engineering education. The framework presented in this paper is the result of a research project focused onunderstanding and identifying the ways in which teachers and schools implement engineering and engineering design in their classrooms.The development of the key indicators that are included in the framework were determined based on an extensive review of the literature,established criteria for undergraduate and professional organizations, document content analysis of state academic content standards inscience, mathematics, and technology, and in consultation with experts in the fields of engineering and engineering education. Theframework is designed to be used as a tool for evaluating the degree to which academic standards, curricula, and teaching practicesaddress the important components of a quality K-12 engineering education. Additionally, this framework can be used to inform thedevelopment and structure of future K-12 engineering and STEM education standards and initiatives.
