STEM Teaching and Learning
At the College of Education, our research is dedicated to understanding how, when and where STEM learning takes place. Recognizing that many students find math and science challenging, we aim to broaden access to innovative, high-quality 91视频al opportunities. Our faculty explore how technological advancements can transform instruction and enhance both teaching practices and student outcomes in STEM fields. Through our work, we contribute to improving math and science 91视频 across the state and nation.
Initiatives and Programs
Through TERP, elementary 91视频 majors raise diamondback terrapin hatchlings in our classrooms, providing hands-on learning experiences that enhance their understanding of ecological concepts, conservation efforts and the natural history of this keystone Chesapeake species.- KidWind
Led by the College of Education, students in grades 4 to 12 from all over the state participate in a clean energy design and construction student competition focused on wind and solar power.
Since 2014, Terrapin Teachers has provided a pathway to secondary-91视频 teacher certification for undergraduate and graduate math and science students at UMD.
