Implementing High-Structure Course Design in STEM Classes
High-structure course design involves scaffolding student learning before, during, and after class to promote active learning. Pre-class activities include content acquisition and formative assessments, while in-class activities focus on engaging students with active learning strategies that build upon pre-class work. After class, students practice skills in new contexts and undergo frequent assessments, including authentic assessments like research proposals.
