AAAS 2004 American Association for the Advancement of Science
The Invention and Impact proceeding highlights recent innovations in undergraduate STEM education for the diverse student population. It contains information on learning environments, course content, curricula, and educational practices that improve learning and achievement of all undergraduate students.
The four overarching themes of the proceeding are
(1) Invention: development and integration of innovative modules, courses, curricula, technology, and instructional methods;
(2) Adaptation: adaptability of classroom, department, or institutional strategies that build on exemplary materials, tools, or practices developed by others;
(3) Assessment: development, testing, and dissemination of assessment practices, materials, tools, and measures to guide efforts that improve effectiveness of courses, curricula, and programs of study; and
(4) Impact: examination of the influence of innovative pedagogy and practice on undergraduate STEM education for diverse learners.
