EDCI 54501 - Teaching STEM Through Agriculture, Food, And Natural Resources
Credit Hours: 3.00. The course focuses on the background and history of STEM movement and agricultural education, contemporary models, strategies, and justification for incorporation of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts and practices into K-12 formal and non-formal agricultural education programs. Consider and develop the best practices for STEM teaching and learning and enhancement of STEM content in agriculture, food and natural resources (AFNR) context. The goal of the course is to help students develop knowledge about STEM integration and equip them with teaching knowledge and skills for designing K-12 lesson plans by using integrated STEM through AFNR. Students will learn strategies that promote engagement in integrated STEM through AFNR activities. At the end of the course, students should be able to design and implement research-based integrated STEM through AFNR lesson plans and assessment plans.
