Imagination To Innovation: Design Thinking For Young Learners, Lindsey Herlehy, Cassandra Armstrong
Imagination To Innovation: Design Thinking For Young Learners, Lindsey Herlehy, Cassandra Armstrong
Publications & Research
Design thinking is the intersection of engineering design and social-emotional learning. Today’s learners must be empathetic problem solvers capable of defining problems and designing appropriate solutions to meet the needs of the user. In this session, participants will experience design thinking through literature-based scenarios appropriate for early learners. They will analyze and compare their own models to those of others and compose a lesson that will engage students in the design thinking process.

Both the United States and the United Nations have identified, examined, and put out a call to action to address the educational inequities that have disproportionately and negatively affected racially minoritized students, as well as those from a lower socioeconomic background, and poorer countries. Data from the Nations Report Card and the Global Monitoring Report provide evidence of disparities in academic performance and access to equitable educational resources. The outcome of these inequities impacts countries throughout the world, as their residents will not possess the skills and knowledge to thrive in a rapidly evolving global society, nor possess the critical …

Can You Master This? : Initial Attempts At Specifications-Based Grading In Introductory Chemistry, Laura Kopff
Faculty Publications & Research
The Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA) requires all incoming students to complete a one-semester introductory chemistry course in their sophomore year – Scientific Inquiries in Chemistry (SI-Chem). This course has historically been taught using a traditional grading/assessment model, however, in the Spring of 2021, a switch was made to a specification-based grading system. One motivating factor in this decision is an institutional shift to an equity-focused grading approach, and an analysis of our historical assessment model indicated areas for improvement.
Our initial foray into specifications grading was during the Spring of 2021 semester, when all of our courses were …

The Impact Of Various Food Additive Chemicals On The Heart Rates Of Daphnia Magna, Vignesh Tiruvannamalai '24
The Impact Of Various Food Additive Chemicals On The Heart Rates Of Daphnia Magna, Vignesh Tiruvannamalai '24
Methods in Scientific Inquiry
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects that common food additive chemicals have on the heart rates of Daphnia magna, considering that there are health concerns for humans regarding numerous food additives. Various food additives that have different purposes were used, as was a control group. In order to conduct this experiment, solutions for each of these chemicals were created based on the concentrations found in processed food. Three Daphnia magna were exposed to each solution for 20, 25, and 30 minutes respectively, and the heart rate of each was recorded using a microscope. The hypothesis was …

Playing With Push Toys And Technology: Solving A System Of Linear Equations, Kelly W. Remijan
Playing With Push Toys And Technology: Solving A System Of Linear Equations, Kelly W. Remijan
Publications & Research
When students are given the opportunity to utilize technology and engage in hands-on activities within a mathematics class, they can experience mathematics in action. Mathematical action technologies “offer students opportunities to interact...in ways that are not possible (alone) with paper and pencil” (McCullough et. al, 2021, p. 739). One such mathematical action technology, for instance, involves a calculator-based ranger (CBR) which collects and displays motion data in real-time. As CBR activities impact students’ abilities to interpret and model “physical phenomena” which enhances graphical understanding (Kwon, 2010), I have incorporated various CBR activities that involve students walking in front of a …

Playing With Code: Big Ideas For Early Learners, Lindsey Herlehy, Cassandra Armstrong
Publications & Research
For young children growing in today’s digital world, the acquisition of coding and computer programming skills has become a popular and appropriate focus in education. Beyond engaging in technology and coding applications as consumers – the passive act of sitting in front of a screen and merely pressing buttons without a high level of thought – early childhood students are capable of high-quality programming tasks through play-based learning experiences. As producers, our youngest students may explore the open-ended nature of computer programming and coding through design, art, and innovation. Engaging in coding builds valuable and transferable practices such as problem …
