Productive learning is engendered by trust, safety, supportive interpersonal relationships between mentors and students, and adaptation of teaching style to match the students' frame of reference. These principles are incorporated in the design of an online learning program called Best We Can Be. We discuss how technology-aided instruction encourages students to explore subject matter beyond their comfort zone. This fosters students' natural curiosity about STEM topics, and helps overcome their anxiety about whether they will be able to learn the subject matter. In Best We Can Be, students participate in structured, hands-on activities illustrating the cross-fertilization of academic disciplines (e.g., bioethics, which encompasses social, health and biological sciences, humanities, law, etc.) and their interdependency in society. We examine technology's enablement of student interactions within secure networks of mentors, experts, and peers. We discuss transformative impacts of broadening student appreciation of the world of possibilities that await them in future educational and career paths. The ultimate goal is for students to become self-motivated, life-long productive learners.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114369147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper defines statistics, states the goals of introductory statistics courses, and outlines different directions of the course. The paper sketches the main topics of the course and discusses the necessity of real life examples and exercises targeting specific majors. It is a necessity for students to be able to explore data before using standard statistical methods. A number of tools are considered to facilitate work on the problems and exploration process. We argue that R is one of the most appropriate tools for the task, and suggest a way to introduce R into the course as a means of implementing this approach and allowing students to gain a better hands-on experience with real life examples.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132078213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The summer program focuses on radar technology, a subject in which Lincoln Laboratory has a long history and extensive experience. The first LLRISE workshop was held in July 2012 at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts, 14 miles west of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Students stayed at MIT at the Simmons dormitory and were provided daily transportation for two weeks to the Laboratory. This paper describes the overall experience these students were provided through lectures and coursework, the prototyping/building phase of the workshop, and enrichment experiences at MIT and in Boston. During the engineering portion of the workshop, students were mentored by Lincoln Laboratory technical staff. Students also received guidance on many social skills such as how to navigate the financial aid process, how to apply to college, and how to develop and deliver an effective presentation.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132250696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An adopted teaching strategy must be then aligned with students' learning traits. In this paper, to provide an effective in-classroom learning environment for most students, we propose to develop appropriate instructional presentation methods to match diversity of learning styles. We demonstrate how to align in-class instructions, such as quizzes and other in-class learning activities, with students' learning styles. Our discussion, which primarily focuses on quantitative topics, relies on research in education and applied psychology, and our teaching experience. Here, we utilize the Fleming's VARK learning style model. We then address some shortcomings of identifying students' learning styles through a generic questionnaire, and propose a scheme to dynamically infer them. This automatic student modeling approach can be easily adopted in distance education.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121713194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing the “Engineering Design” model teachers explored the nuances involved with robotics, electronics, and prototype construction and operation. Participants were 14 public school teachers that were vastly inexperienced with basic engineering principles or careers. A pre and post assessment of teacher self efficacy towards basic engineering principles and design showed substantial growth in confidence levels of teacher participants. Provided the lack of true engineering content preparation of many in-service teachers, the workshop and curriculum guidance model shows promise to assist teachers in utilizing kinesthetic and real world projects to meet the newly reformed STEM standards.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126625016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Citizen Schools apprenticeships, a volunteer STEM expert works with 12-15 students one afternoon a week for 11 weeks to explore a new field and to create a high-quality product or presentation to share at a community event. Citizen Schools recruits, trains, and supports volunteers to lead apprenticeships on topics that range from solar car engineering to stock market investing to electronic textiles. Over half of Citizen Schools' current apprenticeships focus on topics in Science, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields with 21st-Century Skills for students working on directed projects. The Junior Solar Sprint challenges students to design and build a model car using solar power to drive an electric motor.

Despite this rhetorical appreciation of inter- and multidisciplinary training, academic distinctions persist. In particular, the division between the humanities and the STEM fields is evident in the ways these disciplines approach learning and knowledge. STEM fields tend to promote post-positivist ways of seeing the world while the humanities embrace interpretivist modes of thought. This paper examines a mobile application for vocabulary learning designed to integrate humanities- and science-related processes in an effort to offer multidisciplinary experiences for students. The main implications are that leveraging mobile technologies increases contextualized learning experiences for students, and facilitates the use of multiple disciplines to accomplish a goal. Important to creating an educational tool that incorporates humanistic and scientific knowledge and methods are creating communities of practice, facilitating user-generated content, and promoting of project-based learning.","PeriodicalId":162124,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124906840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
