Learning objectives
COURSE OUTCOMES
- Fosters ingenuity and creativity: Ingenuity and creativity can pair with STEM and lead to new ideas and innovations
- Builds resilience
- Encourages experimentation
- Encourages teamwork
- Encourages knowledge application
- Encourages tech use
- Teaches problem-solving
- Encourages adaption
- Encourages tech use:
- STEM learning teaches kids about the power of technology and innovation. So, when students encounter new technologies, they will be prepared to embrace them, instead of being hesitant or fearful. This will give them the upper hand in the global landscape, as the world is becoming increasingly tech-centered.
- Teaches problem-solving:
- STEM education teaches students how to solve problems by using their critical thinking skills. By engaging in STEM learn experiences, students learn how to examine problems and then create a plan to solve them.
- Encourages adaption:
- To succeed in life, students have to be able to apply what they have learned to a variety of scenarios. STEM education teaches them to adapt the concepts that they learn to various iterations of a problem or issue.
Methodology & assessment
Methodology
Pedagogical Approaches: Teacher training courses typically employ various pedagogical approaches to model effective teaching practices. This may include lectures, interactive seminars, workshops, and hands-on teaching experiences.
Practical Teaching Experience: Practical teaching experience is a fundamental component of teacher training. Participants often have opportunities to observe experienced educators and engage in actual teaching in classrooms or educational settings. Feedback and guidance from mentors are essential during these experiences.
Collaborative Learning: Collaborative learning is often encouraged in teacher training courses. Participants may work in groups to develop teaching materials, lesson plans, and teaching strategies. Collaborative projects can promote the exchange of ideas and best practices.
Reflective Practice: Reflective practice is a crucial aspect of teacher training. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their teaching experiences, analyze their teaching methods, and consider how to improve their practice. Journals, written reflections, and discussions are common tools for fostering reflective practice.
Assessment
Written Assignments: Teacher training courses often include written assignments, such as research papers, case studies, or essays, on topics related to education and teaching methods.
Examinations: Some teacher training courses may include written examinations to assess participants' understanding of pedagogical theories, educational psychology, and other relevant subjects.
Professionalism and Communication: Assessment may also consider participants' professionalism, communication skills, and ability to collaborate with colleagues, parents, and students.
Feedback and Self-Assessment: Regular feedback from mentors and self-assessment are crucial components of teacher training assessment. Participants are encouraged to use feedback to improve their teaching skills
