| Abstract | Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has been a major concern of science education since the 1990s. When compared with the interdisciplinary nature of STEM, initial teacher preparation usually focuses on teaching discrete disciplines. Novice science teachers may also lack the relevant training in design and engineering to foster the practices in the classrooms. This presentation reports an initiative of preparing 25 pre-service science teachers for integrative STEM teaching. The 24-hour undergraduate course combined the learning of design concepts and teaching inquiry within teaching science content. Lesson activities of STEM classrooms engaged the novice teachers as “students”; and then they were prompted to reflect metacognitively on how they could support the “students” as teachers. Results from the questionnaires and focus group interviews indicated the importance of engaging the novices both as learners and future teachers of STEM education. |
