Title
Leveraging Prospective Elementary Teachers’ STEM Learning Experiences: Introduction of An ACE Model
Synopsis:
There is a need to elevate the mathematics learning experiences for prospective elementary teachers (PSETs) in acquiring mathematics knowledge through inquiries, exploring the role of mathematics in other STEM disciplines, and solidifying knowledge and skills in teaching contexts as sustainable practices. In this presentation, I will introduce an ACE course design model and will discuss its potential for creating an active learning environment to engage PSETs’ mathematics and STEM learning.
