Description:
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Learning in STEM integrates these four disciplines into a cohesive learning model based on real-world applications. Rather than teach these subjects separately, STEM combines them into a connected learning paradigm based on real-world scenarios. Here's a bit more about what each component entails:
Science: This involves a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. It fosters curiosity and investigation about the natural world.
Technology: This involves the usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, systems or methods of organization. It covers everything from computers and software to simple technological processes used in various industries.
Engineering: This is the application of scientific and mathematical principles to design or develop structures, machines, apparatus, or manufacturing processes. It focuses on problem-solving, designing solutions, and turning ideas into reality.
Mathematics: This involves the study of numbers, shapes, and patterns. It is a fundamental discipline that is used in a lot of the analysis, reasoning, and planning that's done in science, technology, and engineering.
The goal of STEM education is to prepare students for the evolving demands of the 21st-century workforce. It aims to foster inquiring minds, logical reasoning, and collaboration skills among students. It also emphasizes innovation and encourages students to apply their learning to solve real-world problems.
