Exploring a Boundary Crossing Map of Challenges within Partnerships between K12 Teachers, and STEM & Education Faculty
Abstract
"In order to create and sustain a pipeline of highly competent and pedagogically qualified mathematics and science teachers, our project has created three boundary-crossing teams of STEM and Education faculty, students, and teachers who are conducting needs assessments, cataloging the challenges of working across boundaries between institutions, boundaries between pedagogy and science, and boundaries between student education and careers. We will solicit input on our in-progress Boundary Map, which illustrates the boundaries between pedagogic and science content knowledge, between grade levels from middle school through college, between disciplines in science, and between STEM Faculty, Education Faculty, and Teachers. The map also explores the boundaries for college students entering and graduating college within STEM or STEM education disciplines."
