Eric.ed.gov – Her Voice: Engaging and Preparing Girls with Disabilities for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Careers

Posted on by Troels Gannerup Christensen - Læst 18 gange

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related fields comprise the top 30 occupations expected to grow the fastest by 2026. This increase in job opportunities, coupled with the evolution of technology, is creating higher demands for diversity in the labor market. Currently all students require innovative training and support from a young age to pursue STEM careers successfully. However, women and girls with disabilities face unique barriers along the STEM education pipeline. In this paper, we report the current and projected labor market trends in the United States. We then consider how this labor market information can be used by elementary educators to engage girls with disabilities in STEM-related learning effectively. Finally, through our analysis of labor market needs and the available assessment and intervention literature, we… Continue Reading →

In conventional lecture-based teaching, students might avoid asking for academic help from teachers, which weakens the student–teacher relationship and distances students from the faculty. To decrease distance and ease integration, more student-centred methods are widely adopted. This article concerns the use of specific tutors and a learning space called Math Shack in engineering mathematics teaching and learning at Tampere University in Finland. The… Continue Reading →
