Cross-Cutting Concepts
The US Next Generation Science Standards, completed in 2013, describe “a vision of what it means to be proficient in science”. The standards are formulated in a framework of (1) practices, (2) crosscutting concepts, and (3) disciplinary core ideas. See also the explanations on Youtube.
A similar approach can be seen in the Dutch Kennisbasis Natuurwetenschappen en Technologie voor de Onderbouw VO, in which each of the STEM areas is described in terms of the framework displayed below (see also pp. 7 ff of the document).
In your working group, explore the application of such a framework for Computing:
- does it fit in the Dutch STEM description? Which categories are missing?
- try to fill in the framework for a specific Computing area.
Examples
In the Dutch STEM knowledge base:
- Light, sound, radiation (part of Physics): pp. 46-48
- Technology: 155-160
