Considering the Future of K-12 STEM Curricula and Instructional Materials: Stimulating and Supporting New Developments

这个项目考虑到STEM课程和教材的未来，由数学课程研究中心领导，正在组织和运作一系列工作组，研究STEM课程、教学和教材未来创新的挑战和机遇。该项目正在解决STEM教育在技术驱动下的根本性质变化前景所提出的三个关键问题：STEM教育在近期和长期内如何看起来有很大的不同？要使这些未来愿景成为可能，需要对教学材料、模型和技术进行哪些开发和研究？什么样的设计、开发和传播过程最有可能产生在学校实际实施的STEM教育的新方法？工作组活动的目标是为STEM教育工作者制定一个创新研究和开发议程，激发社区对该议程任务工作的兴趣，并为资助机构和为工作提供支持的专业组织提供指导。

DRL: DR K-12/REESEPI: Barbara Reys ABSTRACTThis project, Considering the Future of STEM Curricula and Instructional Materials, led by the Center for Study of Mathematics Curriculum is organizing and operating a series of working groups to examine challenges and opportunities for future innovations in STEM curricula, instruction, and instructional materials. The project is addressing three key questions that have been suggested by prospects for fundamental technology-driven change in the character of STEM education:How could STEM education look very different in the near and long-term future? What development and study of instructional materials, models, and technologies would be required to make those future visions possible? What design, development, and diffusion processes are most likely to produce new approaches to STEM education that are actually implemented in schools?The goals of the working group activity are an innovation research and development agenda for STEM educators, activation of community interest in work on the tasks of that agenda, and guidance for funding agencies and professional organizations that provide support for the work.
