<p>This theory-to-practice guide offers leading-edge ideas for wide-scale curriculum reform in sciences, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics--the STEAM subjects. Chapters emphasize the critical importance of current and emerging digital technologies in bringing STEM education up to speed and implementing changes to curricula at the classroom level. Of particular interest are the diverse ways of integrating the liberal arts into STEM course content in mutually reshaping humanities education and scientific education. This framework and its many instructive examples are geared to ensure that both educators and students can become innovative thinkers and effective problem-solvers in a knowledge-based society.</p><p> </p><p>Included in the coverage:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Reconceptualizing a college science learning experience in the new digital era.</li><li>Using mobile devices to support formal, informal, and semi-formal learning.</li><li>Change of attitudes, self-concept, and team dynamics in engineering education.</li><li>The language arts as foundational for science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.</li><li>Can K-12 math teachers train students to make valid logical reasoning?</li><li>Moving forward with STEAM education research.</li></ul><p> </p><p><i>Emerging Technologies for STEAM Education</i> equips educators, education researchers, administrators, and education policymakers with curricular and pedagogical strategies for making STEAM education the bedrock of accessible, relevant learning in keeping with today's digital advances. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
​Forward.- Introduction to the general problem area and the landscape of various concerns and issues.- What happens when portable devices are introduced in schools and colleges on a large scale?.- What happens when learners are moving from one location to another and working with others who may not be enrolled or following a similar curriculum?.- Education, training, competencies, curricula and technology.- Reconceptualizing a college engineering curriculum based on 21st century skills.- Reconceptualizing a high school science curriculum based on 21st century skills.-  Reconceptualizing a college liberal arts curriculum based on 21st century skills.- Reconceptualizing a middle school mathematics curriculum based on 21st century skills.- Authentic Learning and Meaningful Assessments.- Learning in and about Complex Domains.- Technologies Gone Awry.- Technologies that Show Potential to Improve Learning and Instruction.- Afterword.
<p>Xun Ge is Professor of Instructional Psychology and Technology and Chair of the&nbsp;Department of Educational Psychology, Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education,&nbsp;the University of Oklahoma. She holds a Ph.D. in Instructional Systems from&nbsp;the Pennsylvania State University. Dr. Ge’s primary research interest involves&nbsp;scaffolding students’ complex and ill-structured problem solving and selfregulated&nbsp;learning through designing instructional scaffolds, cognitive tools,&nbsp;learning technologies, and open learning environments (including virtual learning&nbsp;community, game-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and problem-based&nbsp;learning). Over the past years, her scholarly works has evolved to link cognition&nbsp;to motivation. Dr. Ge is also interested in studying the impact and assessment of&nbsp;game-based learning in supporting complex, ill-structured problem solving. Dr. Ge&nbsp;has extensive research experience in STEM education, and she has collaborated&nbsp;with scholars from diverse disciplines around the world. Dr. Ge’s research has&nbsp;been published in a co-edited book published by Springer, multiple book chapters&nbsp;in some highly regarded books, and numerous articles in many leading journals&nbsp;of the field, not to mention many other conference proceeding papers. Dr. Ge has&nbsp;been recognized for three prestigious awards she has received—<i>2012 Outstanding&nbsp;</i><i>Journal Article, 2004 Outstanding Journal Article 2003</i>, and <i>Young Scholar&nbsp;</i><i>awarded by Educational Technology Research &amp; Development</i> and the American&nbsp;Educational Communications and Technology.</p><p>Dirk Ifenthaler is Professor for Instructional Design and Technology at theUniversity of Mannheim, Germany as well as an Adjunct Professor at Deakin&nbsp;University, Australia. His previous roles include Professor and Director, Centre for&nbsp;Research in Digital Learning at Deakin University, Australia, Manager of Applied&nbsp;Research and Learning Analytics at Open Universities Australia, and Professor for&nbsp;Applied Teaching and Learning Research at the University of Potsdam, Germany.&nbsp;Dirk was a 2012 Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence at the Jeannine Rainbolt College&nbsp;of Education, at the University of Oklahoma, USA. Professor Ifenthaler’s research&nbsp;focuses on the intersection of cognitive psychology, educational technology,&nbsp;learning science, data analytics, and computer science. He developed automated&nbsp;and computer-based methodologies for the assessment, analysis, and feedback of&nbsp;graphical and natural language representations, as well as simulation and game&nbsp;environments for teacher education. His research outcomes include numerous&nbsp;co-authored books, book series, book chapters, journal articles, and international&nbsp;conference papers, as well as successful grant funding in Australia, Germany, and&nbsp;USA—see Dirk’s website for a full list of scholarly outcomes at www.ifenthaler.&nbsp;info. Professor Ifenthaler is the Editor-in-Chief of the Springer journal <i>Technology,&nbsp;</i><i>Knowledge and Learning</i> (www.springer.com/10758). Dirk is the Past-President&nbsp;for the AECT Design and Development Division, 2013–2015 Chair for the AERA&nbsp;Special Interest Group Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning and Co-Program Chair for the international conference on Cognition and Exploratory&nbsp;Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA).</p><p></p><p>J. Michael Spector is a Professor of Learning Technologies at the University&nbsp;of North Texas. Previously he was a Professor of Educational Psychology and&nbsp;Instructional Technology at the Learning and Performance Support Laboratory at&nbsp;the University of Georgia, Associate Director of the Learning Systems Institute&nbsp;at Florida State University, and Chair of Instructional Design, Development and&nbsp;Evaluation at Syracuse University. Prior to that, he was Director of the Educational&nbsp;Information Science and Technology Research Program at the University of&nbsp;Bergen, and the Senior Scientist for Instructional Systems Research at Armstrong&nbsp;Laboratory. He earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy from The University of Texas at&nbsp;Austin. His research focuses on intelligent support for instructional design,&nbsp;assessing learning in complex domains, and technology integration in education. Dr.&nbsp;Spector served on the International Board of Standards for Training, Performance&nbsp;and Instruction (ibstpi). He is a Past-President of the Association for Educational&nbsp;and Communications Technology and a Past-Chair of the Technology, Instruction,&nbsp;Cognition and Learning Special Interest Group of AERA. He is editor of <i>Educational&nbsp;</i><i>Technology Research &amp; Development and edited the third and fourth editions of the&nbsp;</i><i>Handbook of Research on Educational Communications and Technology</i>, as well as&nbsp;the<i>Encyclopedia of Educational Technology</i>.</p>
