STEM Integration in K-12 Education examines current efforts to connect the STEM disciplines in K-12 education. This report identifies and characterizes existing approaches to integrated STEM education, both in formal and after- and out-of-school settings. The report reviews the evidence for the impact of integrated approaches on various student outcomes, and it proposes a set of priority research questions to advance the understanding of integrated STEM education. STEM Integration in K-12 Education proposes a framework to provide a common perspective and vocabulary for researchers, practitioners, and others to identify, discuss, and investigate specific integrated STEM initiatives within the K-12 education system of the United States.

STEM Integration in K-12 Education makes recommendations for designers of integrated STEM experiences, assessment developers, and researchers to design and document effective integrated STEM education. This report will help to further their work and improve the chances that some forms of integrated STEM education will make a positive difference in student learning and interest and other valued outcomes.

The Chapter Skim search tool presents what we've algorithmically identified as the most significant single chunk of text within every page in the chapter. You may select key terms to highlight them within pages of each chapter.

What is STEM? It's the acronym for science, technology, engineering and mathematics. But while kindergarten through 12th grade education usually focuses on science or mathematics in isolation, all four of these disciplines are closely intertwined in the real world. Imagine if K-12 students were taught in ways that highlighted these connections, making their education more relevant to their lives and opening doors to new and exciting careers.

A PDF is a digital representation of the print book, so while it can be loaded into most e-reader programs, it doesn't allow for resizable text or advanced, interactive functionality. The eBook is optimized for e-reader devices and apps, which means that it offers a much better digital reading experience than a PDF, including resizable text and interactive features (when available).

One of the newer educational terms that we see frequently in the news is STEAM (or STEM) education. But what exactly is STEAM education and is it appropriate for preschoolers? STEAM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, art and math. Here at the Pearson Early Learning Center, our STEAM lab encourages open-ended exploration and invites children to express their ideas openly. STEAM play-based learning allows children to grow their critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills, and often assists them in furthering their skills in the STEAM learning areas. Each month the lab is set up with a new curriculum and each classroom has an opportunity to attend the lab weekly.

Students from Canyon Vista, Cedar Valley and Pearson Ranch middle schools and Westwood High School used their minds to pass the competition and take home some of the top prizes at the 2022 Texas Science and Engineering Fair (TSEF).

TSEF is an annual state science competition for students in sixth through 12th grade. The fair provides an opportunity for middle and high school students across Texas to showcase their research projects in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, according to TSEF.

Both chair and professor of biology Tom Crist and chair and professor of microbiology Luis Actis have been overseeing the approximate $65-million transformation of Pearson into a contemporary structure with state-of-the-art teaching and research laboratories and updated classrooms and group spaces.

Pearson is visited and utilized by more than 80% of all Miami undergraduates. Over 8,000 students take classes in the building each year. Likewise, 96,000 hours of laboratory and related research are conducted annually by undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) independent study courses.

"In Pearson we are developing new advanced, modular lab spaces that can be reconfigured, expanded or contracted as the scope of the research changes," Crist said. "The flexibility of these modernized spaces will increase productivity, enhance partnerships and facilitate collaborative projects."

With the replacement of many concrete block walls with full-height glass walls, numerous labs and classrooms will have natural lighting, thus providing a safe and productive collaborative environment for education and research. Replacing the ventilation and water-conditioning systems with new efficient systems will reduce the energy footprint by over 60% and obtain LEED silver certification.

"The greatest and most exciting impact of all our renovations will be to undergraduate and graduate students in the Departments of Biology and Microbiology," Crist said. "This is crucial in preparing them for careers in modern workplaces while we continue recruiting and retaining both high-quality students and preeminent faculty."
