⚛️ The Monash STEMproblem research group is launching a suite of resources exploring problem-based learning!
🔭 The team generated 4 Principles of Practice for problem-based learning in school-based STEM education.
🔊 Stay tuned! The first principle will launch in Science Week.
In EDF4079 we are so fortunate learning from @gatt_melissa about leading science learning. Each week Mel shares her teaching and leadership experiences, opens the classroom door -invites us into science and STEM lessons. Her expertise is incredibly valuable @MonashEducation
Today EDF4095 Science education welcomed our wonderful Teacher Associate CoTeacher Mary Howard. We are so fortunate to learn from her experience and expertise in primary science teaching @MonashEducation

Great start to the day working with teachers from @CEMelbourne for #ProfessionalLearning Day 4 of #theSTEMproblem.
#Teachers share how they have been applying the Principles of #PBL in their #schools. We also take a deep dive into metacognitive reasoning in #STEMeducation 🧐
