What is STEM Education :
STEM education is a teaching method that combines science, technology, engineering and math. STEM is designed to encourage discussions and problem solving among students and instead of teaching those subjects separately. It alludes to an interdisciplinary method of teaching and learning that combines these four important fields of research. STEM education aims to foster students' critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity abilities while also preparing them for professions in industries that need these topics.
Why is STEM education important :
STEM education can be applied from early childhood through higher education and is not limited to any specific grade level. It seeks to develop abilities like teamwork, critical thinking, interaction, and resolving issues which are particularly helpful in a wide range of jobs, specifically those in areas connected to science, engineering, technology, and mathematics. The goal is to provide students with the skills they will require in a world that has grown more data- and technology-driven.
How can STEM education shape the future:
STEM education encourages entrepreneurship and artistic ability. While developing new goods, services, and technologies, students are taught to apply principles from science and engineering design thinking. This innovation could result in the development of innovative treatments that raise standards of living and boost economic growth. Regardless of a person's gender, color, or background, promoting STEM education is capable of helping STEM fields grow more balanced and diverse. A broader set of points of view are contributed by a diverse STEM workforce, leading to more inclusive innovative problem-solving.
STEMSOS Model:
Project Based Learning (PBL) is a constructivist instructional approach where students are engaged in meaningful inquiry of personal interest to them and where collaboration and personalized learning are emphasized. Research confirms that PBL is an effective and enjoyable way to learn and develop deeper learning competencies required for success in college, career and civic life. -Buck Institute of Education
STEMSOS is a rigorous, interdisciplinary, standards-focused, and engaging STEM teaching approach that is teacher-facilitated, student-centered and directed through sets of project- and inquiry-based (P&IBL) projects. STEMSOS PBL approach is to maintain the focus on standards-based teaching while enriching and extending the learning of students through PBL projects. The goal is to promote not only collaborative skills and student ownership of learning but also to promote student success in state and national standards.
STEMSOS PBL Showcase is designed to promote and share exemplary student work in PBL projects that can serve as valuable learning and teaching tools for students, parents, teachers, and other educators.
