ABSTRACT: POD's Linda Serro, in a post "STEM Education Books,"
requested suggestions for "STEM Education book titles that might be
appropriate for a book club." PODers Nilson, Nuhfer, Smith, and
Nelson suggested a few books and possible sources of books from which
I derived 25 book titles. I add 26 more for a total of 51
references. These constitute only a tiny fraction of the books that
might be appropriate for a STEM education book club. Others may wish
to add their own recommendations.
.
*********************************************
.
Linda Serro (2011) of the POD discussion list initiated a 6-post (as
of 29 Sept 2011 15:25-0700) thread "Re: STEM Education Books" with a
post: "I've had a request for any STEM Education book titles that
might be appropriate for a book club. Any suggestions? [Note: to
locate this thread : (a) click on the POD open archive URL
<http://bit.ly/p96FCp>, (b) click on "September '11", (c) click on
"Subject" in the left-hand column heading, (d) scroll down to "STEM
Education Books."]
.
Four PODers responded to Serro's request with book titles or possible
sources of such: Linda Nilson (2011), Ed Nuhfer (2011b), Gary Allen
Smith (2011), and Craig Nelson (2011b); while Anton Tolman (2011)
responded to Nuhfer (2011).
.
Linda Nilson (2011) wrote [bracketed by lines "NNNNN. . . . ";
slightly edited so as to list "Definitive Academic References" in a
REFERENCE list at the end of this post; my inserts at ". . . .
.[[insert]]. . . . ."; in the remainder of this post suggested books
are NUMBERED in sequence]:
.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
.
Here are some "must have's":
.
1. "Talking about Leaving: Why Undergraduates Leave the Sciences"
[Seymour & Hewitt (2000)]
.
2. "Successful Science and Engineering Teaching in Colleges and
Universities" [Kalman (2007)]
.
Any other book that Kalman has written the past 12 years in STEM
education . . . . .[[there's only one that I know of (please correct
me if I'm wrong):
.
3. "Theoretical and Learning Perspectives: Innovation and Change in
Professional Education, Vol. 3" (Kalman, 2008)]]. . . . . . . . . .
.
I don't think Richard Felder has written any books on STEM education,
but if you find one, get it. . . . . .[[evidently no books but a vast
number of articles - see <http://bit.ly/qbhoM1>]]. . . .
.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Other STEM education books and possible sources of book references
suggested in this thread were [my inserts at ". . . . .[[insert]]. .

.
ED NUHFER (2011b) HAD THREE COMMENTS (A, B, C BELOW):
.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
.
A. "For a freebie, check out the National Academy series on How
Students Learn Science. . . . [[Five examples :
.
4. "How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded
Edition" [Bransford et al. (2000)], FREE online at
<http://bit.ly/fVCQ6M>;
.
5. "How Students Learn History, Mathematics, And Science In The
Classroom" [Donovan & Bransford (2005)], FREE online at

Pellegrino (2003)], FREE online at

Engineering, and Mathematics Education: Summary of Two Workshops"

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
.
B. "The best work in the country, I believe is to be found over on
the SERC sites at Carleton . . . . . . . .
.[[<http://serc.carleton.edu/serc/about.html>]]. . . . They have
reading lists over there that you should scan."
.
At <http://serc.carleton.edu/serc/about.html>, I clicked on "Search
SERC" in the left hand column and then searched for "reading lists"
(with the quotes) to obtain 54 hits, none of which led to obvious
"STEM Education book titles that might be appropriate for a book
club." [I realize that Ed Nuhfer probably had other areas of
<http://serc.carleton.edu/serc/about.html> in mind.]
.
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
.
C. "Also, look at 'science literacy' and those resources. Our work .
. . . .[[see "First Results From The Science Literacy Concept
Inventory: The Reasoning We Don't Produce Through Gen-Ed" (Nuhfer,
2011a) . . . , with sampling across the country reveals that we are
not producing it in general education curricula, even though
institutions publish science literacy as the primary outcome of GE
courses. That's a whole separate body of literature, and the
separation is a root of the problem.
.
At <http://serc.carleton.edu/serc/about.html>, I clicked on "Search
SERC" in the left hand column and then searched for "science
literacy" (with the quotes) to obtain 172 hits yielding, at
<http://serc.carleton.edu/introgeo/models/IntEng.html?>, 3 possible
candidates for "STEM Education book titles that might be appropriate
for a book club":
.
9. "Peer Instruction: A User's Manual" [Mazur (1997)];

Technology" [Novak et al. (1999)];

Wieman (2011) in the REFERENCE list below ]]. . . ..
.
At that site I found at <http://www.cwsei.ubc.ca/resources/other.htm>
three candidates (not already among 1-12 above) for "STEM Education
book titles that might be appropriate for a book club:

Among possible candidates for "STEM Education book titles that might
be appropriate for a book club," Craig, in his "Suggested Resources
for Scholarly Teaching and for the Scholarship of Teaching and
Learning" [Nelson (2011a)], lists (aside from those listed in 1-17
above):
