Description
#theSTEMproblem is a three-year Australian Research Council-funded project, where researchers from Monash University and the University of Queensland are working with expert teachers from Melbourne Archdiocese Catholic Schools (MACS) and Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE).
The project actively positioned teachers as key decision makers about how problem based learning can be used in school-based STEM education. As co-researchers, teachers have drawn from knowledge of their teaching context and critically examined their practice to translate the principles of problem based learning into their STEM teaching.
This seminar will showcase teacher stories; illustrations of practice. This information is integral to the part of the project's emerging pedagogical framework designed to support problem based learning in school-based STEM education. This information will become widely available on the project website.
