Studies have shown that integrating math and science makes learning more connected and relevant and has a positive impact on student attitudes and interest in school, their motivation to learn, and achievement.
Engineering is becoming more prevalent in K-12 schools and can provide great problem solving opportunities for students to learn about mathematics, science, and technology while working through the engineering design process.

Climate change is a complex global issue that spans many disciplines. The curriculum spans several subject areas and cuts across national standards.
Our team will focus on creating lesson plans to cover a span of two weeks; i.e. one unit on Climate Change .
The SAME concepts will be taught in the SAME week to the SAME 9th and 12th grade students; with a focus on those concepts in specific subject areas.

Challenges And Successes In Exposing Community College Students To Field Work And Undergraduate Research In A New Introductory Field Biology Course At The College Of Southern Nevada, Brian C. Wainscott
American Association for the Advancement of Science Pacific Conference
Few of the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) students I interact with consider careers in field biology. When asked why, most report they do not know much about field biology because too few opportunities exist. Knowing this, and the importance of attracting students to STEM careers, I solicited input from potential employers and developed a new course called Introduction to Field Biology (BIOL 211). BIOL 211 was approved by the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) during 2012 and I offered it for the first time during the spring semester of 2013. It is a 4-credit lecture/lab course that meets …

Issues And Challenges In The Development Of Open Access Publishing And Scholarly Communications In Nigeria, Ifeoma Ann Oluwasemilore
Issues And Challenges In The Development Of Open Access Publishing And Scholarly Communications In Nigeria, Ifeoma Ann Oluwasemilore
American Association for the Advancement of Science Pacific Conference
The paper notes that advances in technology have resulted in the emergence of open access publishing and scholarly communication. Open access publishing typically provides an internet based digital platform for the publication of research output with unrestricted access to the public while scholarly publication networks encompass inter linked information access to database by educational institutions. The growth of open access publishing and scholarly communication has been very remarkable in many developed countries. However, academic and research institutions in many developing countries like Nigeria are still battling to overcome many challenges in an attempt to make their research outputs openly accessible. …

- Publication in a peer-reviewed journal is the most important way of disseminating a complete set of research results to our peers and the public
- Historically, numbers of papers and quality of journals have been the primary criteria of publication success
- Digital technologies and the internet are creating new avenues and challenges for publication practices, including access and quality assessment

- Open access publishing is providing a meaningful option to researchers and libraries outside of the traditional subscription model of publishing.
- With the entrance of traditional publishers and government/funder mandates, one can assume that the model is sustainable and here to stay.
- Because of funding issues, OA may work better in some disciplines than in others.
- OA will continue to grow and morph into new forms.
- OA is one of many viable responses to the challenges we face in disseminating the results of research.
