Koszalka, Tiffany A.; Wu, Yiyan – Quarterly Review of Distance Education, 2010
Changes in engineering practices have spawned changes in engineering education and prompted the use of distributed learning environments. A distributed collaborative engineering design (CED) course was designed to engage engineering students in learning about and solving engineering design problems. The CED incorporated an advanced interactive…

Mentzer, Nathan – Journal of STEM Teacher Education, 2011
This study contextualized the use of the engineering design process by providing descriptions of how each element in a design process was integrated in an eleventh grade industry and engineering systems course. The guiding research question for this inquiry was: How do students engage in the engineering design process in a course where technology…

Coenders, Fer; Terlouw, Cees; Dijkstra, Sanne; Pieters, Jules – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2010
A curriculum innovation requires new learning material for students and a preparation program for teachers, in which teacher learning is a key ingredient. In this paper we describe how three experienced teachers, involved in the development and subsequent classroom enactment of student learning material for context-based chemistry education,…

Forsthuber, Bernadette; Motiejunaite, Akvile; de Almeida Coutinho, Ana Sofia – Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency, European Commission, 2011
Few European countries have developed a broad strategic framework to raise the profile of science in education and wider society. However, a wide range of initiatives have been implemented in many countries. The impact of these various activities is nevertheless difficult to measure. School partnerships with science-related organisations are…

Cleland, Winston E.; Uffelman, Robert L. – 1974
Presented in this report is a discussion of a model for developing modularized and behaviorized inservice materials that meet the needs of individual teachers for improving their background in science and for relating this knowledge directly to their classroom experiences. The model consists of four stages: (1) needs analysis of curriculum for…

Kyle, William C., Jr.; And Others – 1989
In 1987, the Cheshire Public Schools initiated a science curriculum review. Teachers, parents, and students recognized that the existing textbook-based elementary science program was a dismal portrayal of such a dynamic discipline. There was community consensus that reading about science and acquiring scientific vocabulary words were not the same…
