FAU Lab Schools Teacher Research

There is a gap between faculty willingness to hold online STEM laboratory courses and student demand for high-quality online instruction.

Gaining a better understanding of the depth and breadth of the S.T.A.R. program by analyzing overall student involvement and engagement within S.T.A.R. Program activities are vital for program sustainability and improvement.

By investigating the impact of guided notes on student comprehension, engagement, and the development of independent notetaking skills, this research seeks to inform instructional practices, benefiting both teachers and students.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of focusing on “doing science” instead of “being scientists” on upper elementary students’ attitudes toward science by utilizing action-based syntax, as opposed to identity-based syntax during a career-study unit.

This research aims to create a cross-age scientific curricular experience program model, also known as the S.T.A.R. (Student Talent Ambassadors for Results) program, that utilizes standardized evaluation techniques to determine the impacts of peer-teaching on instructor self-efficacy and learner engagement.

Educational communities have recognized the importance of presenting information in varying modalities to reach all types of learners. Science through Art provides an opportunity to study the impact of using creative, hands-on process art to learn about the world.
