STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) involves the study of, and coherent integration among, various academic disciplines, especially the four cardinal disciplines of STEM. It has been advocated that STEM education is becoming even more important to preparing students for work in the technologically advanced world. Also, STEM education is vital for the nation’s competitiveness in the global economy. Therefore, STEM education has been widely recognized as one of the central parts in the education reform movement. To make STEM education effective, the use of innovative and digital technologies, such as online interactive learning environments and systems, digital games, augment reality (AR), mobile app., simulations and animations, and sensor-based tools and robots in STEM education should be an important research issues. These technologies have been applied in many and different ways to assist students and teachers in the rhythm of learning and teaching process for STEM education. Such digital technologies call for partnerships in which pedagogies are involved in instructional reform. Clearly, the effectiveness of innovative and digital technologies is also closely connected to the pedagogy through which they are employed. Therefore, the focus of any technology-related teaching and learning should not be on the digital technology itself, but on how digital technologies can pedagogically use to improve students’ STEM learning. To address this important issue, this workshop aims to explore the application of innovative educational technologies and pedagogies in STEM education from both research and practice perspectives.
This workshop will be a mini-conference. Paper presentations, discussions, and demonstrations will be scheduled in the workshop. All accepted papers will be published in one volume of workshop proceedings, which will be submitted to Elsevier for inclusion in SCOPUS. Also, published workshop papers will be made available on the official ICCE 2022 website. (https://icce2022.apsce.net/)
