Teacher STEM capability sets that support the implementation of mathematics active STEM tasks
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 15:32 authored by Holland-Twining, B, Geiger, V, Kim Beswick, Sharon FraserSharon FraserIn this paper we report on an aspect of a larger study and explore whether a framework for teacher STEM Capability Sets (SCS) enhanced teacher planning and the implementation of mathematics active STEM tasks. A case study approach was employed to understand how a classroom teacher used the digital resource, Gapminder, to teach a Year 5/6 cohort of students to interpret data as the basis for a STEM assessment. The research found that using the SCS as a guide, and emphasising mathematics in STEM learning and assessment, allowed the teacher to: reflect on existing STEM capabilities; observe the enhancement of other capabilities; and identify areas for future development.
