Title: Putting the “M” back into STEM: Considering how units coordination relates to computational thinking
This theoretical commentary examines theory driven discussions in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields and mathematics fields. Through this examination, the authors articulate particular parallels between spatial encoding strategy theory and units coordination theory. Finally, these parallel are considering pragmatically in the Elementary STEM Teaching Integrating Textiles and Computing Holistically (ESTITCH) curriculum where STEM and social studies topics are explored by elementary students. This commentary concludes with questions and particular directions our mathematics education field can progress when integrating mathematics in STEM fields.  more » « less

    In this study, we evaluate the impact of a game-based supplemental fraction curriculum on student engagement, fraction knowledge, and STEM interest in inclusive elementary mathematics classrooms. Utilizing a robust experimental design, the research explores how a game-based interventions can augment traditional fraction instruction and promote STEM interest among students, including those with disabilities. The curriculum, grounded in Scheme Theory and Learning Trajectories, significantly improved students’ fraction understanding and STEM interest. These findings highlight the potential of integrating game-based learning into mathematics education to address foundational STEM concepts and advocate for further research to explore scalability and broader applicability. The results of the study underscore the potential of innovative educational strategies to enhance learning outcomes and fostering interest in STEM careers among diverse student populations.

    Professional fields face persistent challenges in connecting practice and theory. In particular, tensions exist as to how theory and knowledge are developed, as well as what constitutes authority for practice. Together the articles in this issue explore three elements of the turn toward ”practice-based” research and professional education in mathematics education: designing teaching and learning in and for practice, learning mathematics teaching as a practice, and collaborating across professional roles and identities. In this commentary, we interrogate meanings of practice-based research on teaching and discuss themes across this collection of articles. We then argue for three imperatives for future efforts: (i) working on shared understandings of what the term ”practice-based” might mean; (ii) developing more nuanced conceptualizations of ”teaching”; and (iii) attending explicitly to justice in practice.

    Teachers in the elementary grades often teach all subjects and are expected to have appropriate content knowledge of a wide range of disciplines. Current recommendations suggest teachers should integrate multiple disciplines into the same lesson, for instance, when teaching integrated STEM lessons. Although there are many similarities between STEM fields, there are also epistemological differences to be understood by students and teachers. This study investigated teachers’ beliefs about teaching mathematics and science using argumentation and the epistemological and contextual factors that may have influenced these beliefs. Teachers’ beliefs about different epistemological underpinnings of mathematics and science, along with contextual constraints, led to different beliefs and intentions for practice with respect to argumentation in these disciplines. The contextual constraint of testing and the amount of curriculum the teachers perceived as essential focused more attention on the teaching of mathematics, which could be seen as benefiting student learning of mathematics. On the other hand, the perception of science as involving wonder, curiosity, and inherently positive and interesting ideas may lead to the creation of a more positive learning environment for the teaching of science. These questions remain open and need to be studied further: What are the consequences of perceiving argumentation in mathematics as limited to concepts already well-understood? Can integrating the teaching of mathematics and science lead to more exploratory and inquiry-based teaching of mathematical ideas alongside scientific ones?

    A collaborative team of STEM educators engaged elementary school teachers in professional development to support them in implementing collective argumentation in mathematics, science, and coding. Attendees will consider the feasibility of integrating coding and argumentation across multiple disciplines.

    Elementary school teachers who enter the profession with positive STEM attitudes and abilities have increased confidence in teaching math and science which can positively impact their students. Understanding the reasons why STEM majors switch career paths and persist in elementary education could have implications for undergraduate recruitment as well as long-term teacher retention. This paper presents two case studies using interview data involving fourth-year undergraduate elementary teacher candidates, both former STEM majors. In this qualitative analysis, I unpack motivating factors pertinent to their educational choices, in particular why participants switched from STEM fields to education. Results show high value is placed on elements like creative license, enjoyable classrooms, strong relationships, and safe spaces to take risks. Less important are lucrative careers and professional “success.”
