Herro, D., & Quigley, C. (2016). Innovating with steam in middle school classrooms: Remixing education. On the Horizon, 24(3), 190–204. https://doi.org/10.1108/oth-03-2016-0008
A lot of the sources that are available on the web are for
elementary school teachers, additionally last semester I tried to focus my inquiry
on the upper-year Physics 11 and 12 courses so I wanted to find a source that
could better represent applications to a grade 9 classroom as this is related
to my new question. This article looks at middle school classrooms and investigates
how STEAM integration has been successful and unsuccessful. From the reading I
gathered a number of useful ‘tips’ for moving forward with my inquiry:
- 1. “it became clear that incorporating the “A” in STEAM required increased involvement by arts and humanities educators, in both professional development and classroom settings” – need to collaborate with educators from the subjects we want to integrate.
- 2. the amount of time to create an authentic unit that involved science, math, ELA, social studies, arts and technology was inordinate and likely impossible without administrative support – planning time became a huge constraint
