小学STEM教育的指导思想是,工程代表了科学和数学概念的应用,使人们的生活更美好。工程设计过程(EDP)指导应用创造性的解决方案来解决问题。帮助教师了解如何应用EDP来创建课程开发了一个课堂,学生通过应用他们所学的科学和数学概念来解决真实的世界问题。本文概述了开发这些课程和单元的框架,并讨论了系统思维的基本理论。一个模型的教训,使用这个框架进行了讨论。关于电子数据处理的误解,孩子们通过本课和其他设计挑战课显示突出。通过理解这些错误概念,教师可以更好地帮助学生理解帮助工程师解决真实的问题的思想体系。让孩子们为21世纪做好准备需要一种不同的观点。孩子们需要用一个计划来解决问题,而不是在一开始失败时就退缩。将自己视为工程师将帮助更多代表性不足的学生将工程和其他STEM领域视为可行的职业选择,这是我们的最终目标。
STEM education in elementary school is guided by the understanding that engineering represents the application of science and math concepts to make life better for people. The Engineering Design Process (EDP) guides the application of creative solutions to problems. Helping teachers understand how to apply the EDP to create lessons develops a classroom where students are engaged in solving real world problems by applying the concepts they learn about science and mathematics. This article outlines a framework for developing such lessons and units, and discusses the underlying theory of systems thinking. A model lesson that uses this framework is discussed. Misconceptions regarding the EDP that children have displayed through this lesson and other design challenge lessons are highlighted. Through understanding these misconceptions, teachers can do a better job of helping students understand the system of ideas that helps engineers attack problems in the real world. Getting children ready for the 21st century requires a different outlook. Children need to tackle problems with a plan and not shrivel when at first, they fail. Seeing themselves as engineers will help more underrepresented students see engineering and other STEM fields as viable career options, which is our ultimate goal.
