Study Notes
STEM Education
- STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
- STEM encompasses subjects falling under these four disciplines
- Alternative versions of STEM exist (e.g., STEAM, STREAM, METALS)
- STEM is the most common and widely used acronym
Active Learning
- Active learning is an approach to instruction that engages students with course material through activities like discussions, problem solving, case studies, role plays and other methods
- Active learning is any approach where students engage in the learning process
- Active learning contrasts with passive learning where students are passive recipients of knowledge from an expert
- Active learning strategies involve students working together, individual work, and reflection.
- Examples of active learning activities range from simple activities like problem solving and paired discussions, to more complex activities such as case studies, role plays, and structured team-based learning.
- Instructor guidance remains crucial in active learning classrooms
Knowing vs. Learning
- Knowing is done with full awareness or consciousness
- Learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skills through experience, study, or teaching
- Learning is more important than just knowing
- Knowing is based more on prior knowledge/gut feeling or being told
- Knowing is often not based on factual evidence
- Active learning promotes the learning process over the memorization and simple recollection of facts
Bloom's Revised Taxonomy
- Recognizing involves independent student thinking with minimal group communication.
- Remembering/Understanding requires recalling information (dates, formulas, theories), expressing it in one's own words.
- Applying entails applying knowledge in new situations, solving problems, and answering questions
- Analyzing involves explaining the relationships of learned knowledge and using it in new situations.
- Evaluating involves judging a situation, describing and expressing its value
- Creating involves producing something new, by combining different parts of knowledge.
- Exchanging involves independent student thinking combined with communication and sharing of thoughts
- Reflective combines academic and personal components for richer understanding and learning.
- Constructive involves group discussion, learning together, synthesizing ideas, and reaching conclusions.
Active Learning Pyramid
- The pyramid visualizes the effectiveness of different learning methods.
- The pyramid depicts the percentage of knowledge retained corresponding to active vs. passive learning methods.
- Teach others = 90%
