Developing a use-inspired school and community-based 6th through 12th-grade research and invention ecosystem leading to STEM careers
This study responds to the need for educational offerings for middle and high school students that develop students’ awareness of STEM degrees and careers and foster positive attitudes, confidence, and students’ ability to see themselves in STEM fields. Theories and methodologies from interactional ethnography guide our examination of ways Science Coach (SC) addresses these needs by educating and supporting 6th–12th-grade science teachers and the…
Assessing learning and development through transdisciplinary problem-based invention education offerings
Invention Education (IvE), a form of problem-based learning, presents new challenges for educational assessments in public schooling because traditional assessments were designed to evaluate learning in singular disciplines. This study explores the challenges and possibilities for assessing new knowledge and capabilities acquired through students’ engagement with multiple disciplines through IvE. Guided by constructivist and sociocultural theorie…
Inventors emerging in-school and out-of-school
Invention education is an emerging field that shows promise for fostering equitable student engagement, especially related to disciplines of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), in both classroom and informal learning. A central concept for practitioners, researchers, and evaluators, student engagement connects with academic, socioemotional, career, and civic success. Nonetheless, more work is needed to ensure more equ…
Transforming a National Invention Education Program through a Strength-based Approach
This system-level ethnographic study of a strength-based approach to transforming a national invention education program makes visible how program leadership drew on research and their own expertise to shift who and how they served. With data analysis grounded in program reports, documentation, and internal and published research, the program’s developmental trajectory is (re)constructed and (re)presented with contextual details provided by progr…
