This week has been one of frustration... you know those weeks when you feel like you are going to burst!
I have spent the week reading, finding links from one paper to the next, communicating digitally and I feel like I am over thinking this entire chapter of literature review.
It's frustrating when the idea seems so obvious, yet nobody has seemed to focus on it. How will I ever make this idea come together?
Recap: Spent about two hours every night reading anything that could possibly relate to FCS and STEM/STEAM education. Search terms: FCS, Family and Consumer Science, Home Economics, STEM, STEAM, SMET, Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Technology; all in a variety of combinations. Still seem to get the same results.
Saturday and Sunday found me sitting at my computer typing, writing, editing and trying to figure out APA. Who thought the highlight of the weekend would be hemming pants, just for a break! Of course, that's using STEM skills - technology, Engineering and math - measuring, planning, etc.
Searching with Educational Research Complete, EIRC, Google Scholar, etc, etc. I have lots of research, but none directly.
What I know: FCS and STEM are connected and they are directly related to 21st century skills. Hopefully I can pull it together in some sort of order.
