چکیده
Introduction Connecting academic disciplines and integrating knowledge is gaining popularity in elementary school. The relevant question is, how the targeted integration could be achieved? This research aimed to (a) evaluate potential of teaching learning Dynamic Systems Theory (DST) Statistical Physics (ST) general concepts through embodied experiences school and, based on it (b) enable a far transfer analogical reasoning within between different subjects. Methods Forty-eight students, aged 10.2 ± 0.82 y.o., followed an 8-week, 2-h/week intervention. protocol contained concreteness fading sequence phases consisted four steps: experience, reflective observation, (c) abstract conceptualization DST/ST concepts, (d) DST/SP physical, sociological, biological ecological phenomena. A validated questionnaire interview evaluated students’ reasoning. Results Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed positive effect intervention understanding DSP/SP competencies students ( Z = −5.98; p < 0.0001). There was no association previous newly acquired (Spearman’s ρ 0.112; 0.441). Discusion qualitative results that, general, suggested supports acquisition competencies. However, this age are possibly highly sensitive balance focus conceptualization/transfer protocol. study points for integrative concept-based transdisciplinary education may offer truly approach STEAM teaching.

We investigated the effects of our Bio-ITEST teacher professional development model and bioinformatics curricula on cognitive traits (awareness, engagement, self-efficacy, and relevance) in high school teachers and students that are known to accompany a developing interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers. The program included best practices in adult education...
متن کاملTeaching students to think spatially through embodied actions: Design principles for learning environments in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
Spatial thinking is a vital component of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curriculum. However, to date, broad development of learning environments that target domain-specific spatial thinking is incomplete. The present article visits the problem of improving spatial thinking by first reviewing the evidence that the human mind is embodied: that cognition, memory, and knowled...
متن کاملWomen’s Leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics:
Despite gains overall, women are still under-represented in leadership positions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Data in the US suggest around onequarter of deans and department heads are women; in science this drops to nearly 1 in 20. Part of this problem of under-representation stems from the population pool: only 33% of science and engineering doctorate ho...
