Best Practices in Education
What defines “best practice in education?”
For the NASA eClips™ team, educational practices defined as “best” are supported by research, data and experimentation that focuses on student learning through motivation and engagement.
Best practice approaches, such as Bybee’s constructivist 5E Model of Learning and the tenants of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), inform the NASA eClips team’s design, development, and implementation of all video and resource produced.
Within this section you will find infographics and summaries that highlight the nexus points between NASA eClips materials and several current best-practice approaches and pedagogical strategies. You will also find a section of “How To” videos to guide the effective use of key components within the NASA eClips suite.
