STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. Rather than teach the four disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.
The concept of STEAM was first put forward by Professor G. Yakman from Virginia Tech in 2006, who suggested that besides the four pillars of STEM, namely Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, the perspective of aesthetics(Art) and society should also be included. STEAM education is presented to broaden the interest in the STEM fields, to enhance the creativity of STEM students, and to spur innovation.
STEAM education in Taiwan
STEAM education in Taiwan
Taiwan had related research on STEM education as early as around 2007, but it was still a "new term" at the time. STEM research was mostly concentrated in science and engineering disciplines, and it has gradually expanded to other disciplines in recent years.
The "core of teaching" mentioned in the "Twelve-Year National Curriculum" proposed by the Ministry of Education refers to people who have their own knowledge, abilities and attitudes when adapting to current life and facing the challenges of the future.
At present, STEAM education courses are mostly self-developed courses by school teachers, and then apply for funding from the local education bureau to become an elective course for the school. It has not been included in the national curriculum system.
