  1. NAU/NASA Space Grant Survey of Arizona STEM Best Practices Part 2 Brooke Knighton Dr. Eric Savage

  2. The Survey • Consisted of 26 questions • Send to 436 educators across Arizona • Gained insight to Arizona STEM integration • Aligned with SFAz matrix and Massachusetts Dept. of Education STEM Best Practices

  3. Integration Matrix • Exploratory Model - Offered • Introductory Model - Added • Partial Immersion Model - Integrated • Full Immersion Model - Main

  4. Types of Questions Asked • Demographics • Gender, position, years experience, county, etc. • Rationale • Least/Most difficult to learn/teach, what students will gain from STEM • Integration • Implementation and Evaluation • NASA • Lessons, Professional Development

  5. Analysis • Mixed Results • Compared like questions for accuracy • 12.6% response rate

  6. Analysis – Mixed Results Exploratory Model Introductory Model Partial Immersion Model Full Immersion Model

  7. Analysis - Accuracy

  8. Analysis – Response Rate

  9. Conclusion • Conflicting Data • Subjects have conflicting perceptions on where they stand on the STEM Integration Matrix • Demographics • Majority of respondents were male, administrators, and from urban counties • Response rate does not support statistical significance

  10. Recommendations • Clarify the STEM Integration Matrix • Clear guidelines for what is expected in each category • Expand the current categories • Educate the Educators • Incentivize subjects to increase response rate • Promote more research in STEM Best Practices

  11. Acknowledgements • Dr. Eric Savage – First Flight Education • Dr. Nadine Barlow • Kathleen Stigmon • NAU/NASA Space Grant Internship
