Abstract
The STEM Road Map Curriculum Series uses what has been identified through research as best-practice pedagogy, including embedded formative assessment strategies throughout each module. This chapter briefly describes the key strategies that are employed in the series. Each module in the STEM Road Map Curriculum Series uses either project-based learning or problem-based learning to drive the instruction. Project-based learning begins with a driving question to guide student teams in addressing a contextualized local or community problem or issue. Problem-based learning is often grounded in a fictitious scenario, challenge, or problem. Problem scoping is the process of gathering and analyzing information to deeply understand the engineering design problem. The same format for the learning cycle is used in all grade levels throughout the STEM Road Map, so that students engage in a variety of activities to learn about phenomena in the modules thoroughly and have consistent experiences in the problem- and project- based learning modules.
