\u003cb\u003eRethink traditional teaching methods to improve student learning and retention in STEMÂ \u003c/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eEducational research has repeatedly shown that compared to traditional teacher-centered instruction, certain learner-centered methods lead to improved learning outcomes, greater development of critical high-level skills, and increased retention in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeaching and Learning STEM\u003c/i\u003e presents a trove of practical research-based strategies for designing and teaching courses and assessing students' learning. The book draws on the authors' extensive backgrounds and decades of experience in STEM education and faculty development. Its engaging and well-illustrated descriptions will equip you to implement the strategies in your courses and to deal effectively with problems (including student resistance) that might occur in the implementation. The book will help you: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlan and conduct class sessions in which students are actively engaged, no matter how large the class is\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMake good use of technology in face-to-face, online, and hybrid courses and flipped classrooms\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssess how well students are acquiring the knowledge, skills, and conceptual understanding the course is designed to teach\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelp students develop expert problem-solving skills and skills in communication, creative thinking, critical thinking, high-performance teamwork, and self-directed learning\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMeet the learning needs of STEM students with a broad diversity of attributes and backgrounds\u003c/li\u003e \u003c/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe strategies presented in \u003ci\u003eTeaching and Learning STEM\u003c/i\u003e don't require revolutionary time-intensive changes in your teaching, but rather a gradual integration of traditional and new methods. The result will be continual improvement in your teaching and your students' learning. |
