Description
Results in Physics Education Research suggest that cooperative problem-solving (CPS) pedagogy enhances students’ creativity and motivation toward STEM. Researchers in the Aria Project, a project aimed at the cryogenic distillation of stable isotope, designed the “Aria Masterclass”, an educational program devoted to high school students (fourth and fifth classes), to improve scientific awareness and bolstering motivation on contemporary physics. Students solved a contextualized exercise based on Aria research topics by using a CPS-inspired methodology to size a distillation column. We discuss the design of the activity and results on students' learning and STEM engagement of a 2023-2024 Italian experimentation.
