Description

This course aims to provide teachers with the knowledge, resources and confidence to cultivate a STEM/STEAM/STREAM approach to teaching and learning by looking at how its implementation can prepare their students of today for the world of the future.
The goal of STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) is to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century leading to success in society and in the workplace.
Problem-solving skills, critical thinking, innovation and creativity, are invaluable skills and when combined with collaboration and teamwork through project-based learning methodologies foster real-world knowledge and contextualised, meaningful, and deep learning.

Our up-to-date course also includes the most recently added R, and this increasingly multi-disciplinary approach of STREAM will be appreciated, and participants will explore what the area of reading and literacy can add to the approach and the many relationships and links that can be created throughout and among the subjects involved.

Learning objectives

Develop an understanding of how STEM and its variations cultivate holistic and interdisciplinary learning by integrating subject areas such as Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths and Reading.
Provide participants with tools and methodologies to promote high order thinking skills, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, collaboration, creativity and innovation in their teaching.
Guide participants in adopting innovative and flexible approaches to lesson planning and implementation by creating links and relationships across the curriculum.
Motivate participants to develop their communication skills through their participation in the course and as preparation for their involvement in future European experiences.

Methodology & assessment

By means of an effective use of training formats (e.g., workshops, group discussion, field learning projects ‘Contexts4Content’…) participants will explore the development of STEM in education, the introduction of its variations and how it represents the skills needed to adapt to the rapidly changing society and workplace of the 21st century. A practical and communicative approach will allow participants to delve into relevant scientific and educational studies, explore up-to-date predictions of workplace trends and, according to their findings, be inspired to ‘think outside the box’ when approaching their subjects and the importance of seeing individual subjects as part of a greater whole.
This course employs an interactive, hands-on methodology that blends practical application with reflective learning. Participants will actively engage in workshop, collaborative work, group discussions and team-based activities to explore evidence-based data and develop shared solutions.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

You will have access to a wide range of materials and resources such as an intuitive E-learning platform which will serve as the hub for all digital resources, including multimedia content and interactive exercises. You will explore both digital and analog teaching materials, integrating customary resources with innovative tools to create engaging and effective lessons. Additionally, field learning proyects will provide hands-on, real-world experiences that bridge theory and practice.
