摘要：To gain a better understanding of the landscape of State credentialing options related
to the teaching of engineering at the K12 level, NAE/BOSE commissioned this paper
and study that describes this landscape and provide relevant details for as many States
as it is possible to do so. This project includes the taxonomy of the various types of
credentialing offered by each State, and it defines these different types of credentials.
A two-phase research method was used in order to investigate each State
credentialing/certification program. The first phase of the method examined each State
credentialing/certification program through the individual State Department of
Education. The second phase focused on Career and Technical Education (CTE)
credentialing/certification programs that contain engineering and/or engineering
design content. A member check technique was used to help improve the accuracy,
credibility, validity, and transferability of the study. Each State
credentialing/certification program was thoroughly examined through State
Department of Education and CTE teacher credentialing pathways. The results indicate
that 94.2% of State teacher credentialing/certification programs contain engineering
or engineering design content; however, 5.8% of State teacher credentialing programs
do not include any engineering content. Each of these credentialing/certification areas
also requires a test that contains engineering content.
