EDUC 1303U – P/J STEM I (Science-Technology and Mathematics)


This course provides prospective elementary teachers with an opportunity to explore key issues in math, science, and technology teaching and learning. Emphasizing the interconnected relationships between math, science, and technology, this course will explore major themes such as: how technology and concrete materials can be used to develop and foster interdisciplinary learning environments; how mathematical, scientific, and technological literacies can be connected amongst themselves and other subjects in the Ontario curriculum via interdisciplinary activities; how aesthetic and affective experiences can be used to enrich learning and to teach for equity, diversity, collaboration, and community. Course participants will explore concrete examples of inquiry-style learning with an emphasis on scientific and mathematical reasoning. Through readings, classroom activities, and discussions, students will develop knowledge and skills in math and science, while exploring their personal values and beliefs about education in these disciplines, with an eye toward creating positive learning environments for their future students.
