Invention and Impact: Building Excellence in Undergraduate Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education |
|
The Invention and Impact proceeding highlights recent innovations
in undergraduate STEM education for the diverse student population.
It contains information on learning environments, course content,
curricula, and educational practices that improve learning and achievement
of all undergraduate students. The four overarching themes of the
proceeding are:
- Invention -- development and integration of innovative
modules, courses, curricula, technology, and instructional methods;
- Adaptation -- adaptability of classroom, department,
or institutional strategies that build on exemplary materials,
tools, or practices developed by others;
- Assessment -- development, testing, and dissemination
of assessment practices, materials, tools, and measures to guide
efforts that improve effectiveness of courses, curricula, and
programs of study; and
- Impact -- examination of the influence of innovative
pedagogy and practice on undergraduate STEM education for diverse
learners
