Crisis Teaching Online: Reaching K-12 Students through Remote Engineering Lab-Based Activities during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Larson, Jean S.; Farnsworth, Kimberly
Advances in Engineering Education, v8 n4 Fall 2020
As schools were ordered to close due to the COVID-19 pandemic, K-12 teachers were given little time to prepare and make the transition to a remote environment. STEM teachers have the added challenge of converting lab-based activities into a virtual format. To determine how K-12 teachers can best be supported to provide distance lab-based experiences, an instructional module on adapting engineering lessons for remote delivery was incorporated into a research experience for teachers. Results revealed that teachers are concerned about the continued disruption and eager to learn techniques and best practices for teaching STEM online.
