Welcome!
I am Miss Rosene, a teacher intern, completing my Professional Semester III from the University of Lethbridge. This webpage is a documentation of my Professional Inquiry Project, a final component of my PSIII internship.
Inquiry Question: What are some ways that literacy can be integrated into high school STEM subjects with a focus on reading, comprehending, and communicating STEM concepts, and how can these methods be used to aid in the transition from high school level academics into post-secondary STEM academia? The Project: I have completed a series of 6 interrelated blog posts dedicated to exploring this inquiry question further. The 6 blog posts each highlight a specific aspect of literacy, and how that aspect can be incorporated into a high school STEM classroom. This includes reading, writing, presenting (oral literacy), numeracy, and research skills, as well as one post dedicated to an investigation of pedagogical academia related to high school STEM literacy. These are intended to be read in order, beginning with the Nature of Science as a Motivator, and ending with The Experts, however, they can be read out of order with no loss of meaning. I hope that this resource is helpful to anyone considering implementing more literacy strategies into their STEM classes. |
The Blogs
Below is my 6-Blog collection of research for the Professional Inquiry Project. These are intended to be read in order (starting with the Nature of Science as a Motivator), however, they can also be read as stand-alone articles. Click on an image below to get started!
The Nature of Science and LiteracyHow can motivation to learn STEM concepts help form a basis for increasing literacy?
|
The WriterSome strategies to get students writing more in STEM courses.
|
The ResearcherHow to introduce crucial research skills in high school that students need in post-secondary STEM courses?
|
The PresenterOral communication is another important facet of STEM literacy - read about some ways to develop those skills in high school STEM.
|
The MathematiciansIt's not all about the numbers! How can you work on developing literacy skills in mathematics?
|
The ExpertsWhat are they saying in the world of pedagogical academia about STEM literacy?
