• Sommario/riassunto: This book serves as a comprehensive guide for educators aiming to integrate computation, modeling, and simulation practices within STEM courses. Authored by Alejandra J. Magana, the book synthesizes findings from education research to offer instructional frameworks and modules applicable across various educational settings, from K-12 to higher education. It addresses the challenges teachers face in incorporating these practices due to packed curricula and the integration of multiple concepts like mathematics, engineering, and programming. The book aims to support faculty in designing, delivering, and evaluating instructional interventions that enhance students' computational thinking and problem-solving skills. It is intended for educators, education researchers, and those involved in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
