Description

STEAM education is a teaching model focused on five fundamental subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. It started out as just STEM, an acronym that did not yet include the A for Arts, but in a few years, the teachers understood that this discipline should be part of the model, due to the importance of including and crossing creativity and innovation with scientific studies and activities, thus strengthening these areas of study. These five subjects provide students with essential skills for the future of work. Critical and analytical thinking, decision making, problem solving, among other soft skills, are precious tools that STEAM Education promotes through practical exercises that can be an asset in the students' future. These exercises or activities must cross at least two of these disciplines and promote collaboration between students.

 

In this course you will learn how communication and digital literacy, can be developed implementing STEM/STEAM projects. You will learn how to design a STEM/STEAM project, plan its educational activities, assessment and respective monitorization. It will cover subjects like STEM/STEAM Methodologies, Instructional Design of Constructivist Learning Environments, Project Management and Assessement.

 

The course will be very practical, combining theory with practice, group work and discussion with hands-on phases in which the participants will have the opportunity to design their own STEM/STEAM project.
