Description & Coverage
Description:

There exists a wealth of information about inquiry and about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), but current research lacks meaningfully written, thoughtful applications of both topics.

Cases on Inquiry through Instructional Technology in Math and Science represents the work of many authors toward meaningful discourse of inquiry used in STEM teaching. This book presents insightful information to teachers and teacher education candidates about using inquiry in the real classroom, case studies from which research suggests appropriate uses, and tangible direction for creating their own inquiry based STEM activities. Sections take the reader logically through the meaning of inquiry in STEM teaching, how to use technology in modern classrooms, STEM projects which successfully integrate inquiry methodology, and inquiry problem solving within STEM classrooms with the aim of creating activities and models useful for real-world classrooms.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Assessing Science Inquiry
  • Collaborative Scientific Project Management
  • Concept Maps
  • Digital Stories
  • Inquiry-Based Learning and Robotics
  • Mobile Technology in the Classroom
  • Science Education Research
  • Serious Educational Games (SEGs)
  • Technology and the Preschooler
  • Visualizing Content
Reviews & Statements

The publication of this book incorporating inquiry, STEM and TPCK is very timely. As K-16 teachers grapple with how to best incorporate all of these ideas into their classrooms, having a wealth of high-quality peer-reviewed and vetted examples will be a valuable resource that should not be missed. I would urge STEM teachers at all levels to make the time to read and learn from this book.
