STEM: An Essential Learning Experience 新时代必不可少的学习体验

2022-05-05

关注

People often think that STEM education is only education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Although I guess in most cases, it does make sense. However, STEM education is an interdisciplinary, experience-based approach used to explore the process of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Students learn academic concepts in the real-world context. 

提到STEM,大多数人都认为它只是关于科学、技术、工程和数学方面的教育。根据其定义而言,确实如此,但更加深度概括的话,STEM教育其实是一种运用跨学科且基于经验的方法,用于探索科学、技术、工程和数学等领域的过程。学生在切身实践的过程感中知并学习抽象的知识理论。



ISASC × STEM


In ISASC, we used the applications of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics to establish connections between the classroom and the world around us. STEM education is an essential learning experience for our students in the following context :

在爱莎科学城学校,我们利用STEM教学工具来帮助学生建立课堂和周围世界之间的联系。这种STEM教学能够在以下方面培养并提升学生的各种能力:


1

Promote Creativity

激发创造力

Creativity is definitely the primary goal of STEM education. By indulging in traditional learning methods that only require devotion theory, students are confined to pre-order knowledge, making it impossible to imagine the outside world. This is not the case with modern education systems, as students need every prop to achieve their future goals. It forces students to think beyond book knowledge and encourages them to implement whatever innovative ideas come into their brains.

激发学生创造力无疑是STEM教育的首要目标。假如教学拘泥于纯理论的传统学习方法,无疑是将学生限制在预设的知识中,使得他们无法与现实相连接。而现代教育系统则非如此,因为学生需要通过动手操作工具进行学习,从而实现他们的未来目标。这种学习方法促使学生超越书本知识进行思考,鼓励他们进行创新。

Improve Problem-solving Skills

提高解决问题的能力

Critical thinking skills are abilities that children should develop from their school days, as most students struggle with a lack of these skills when they graduate. With STEM education, students can learn how to examine problems and create appropriate solutions for them. 

批判性思维能力是孩子们从学生时代就应该培养的能力,因为当代许多学生在毕业时都为缺乏这方面技能(社会竞争力欠佳)而苦恼。通过STEM教育,学生可以学习如何研究问题并为其创造适当的解决方案,从而提高其批判性思维能力。

Resilience Building

 建立适应能力

Resilience is one of the most critical factors that most students lack nowadays. Failure can be turned into an exercise to train a mindset for better performance with stem-built lesson plans and participation in projects and laboratory works. With this skill, students will begin to accept mistakes as a normal part of the learning process, which can help them grow into intellectuals in whatever field they choose. 

适应/抗压能力是现在大多数学生缺乏的最关键因素之一。失败是获得成功的垫脚石,基于STEM理念的教案以及操作性项目和实验,可以帮助学生在尝试中试错,在试错中练就正确对待失败的心态。有了一定的适应能力,学生将逐渐把失败视为学习过程中的正常部分,从而帮助他们在感兴趣的领域中更自信地探索、汲取知识。




4

Improve Experimental Thinking

提高实验性思维能力

Experimentation is also one of the main factors in the lack of students in the traditional education system. The lack of experimental skills creates a boundary in the student's mind, blindly following what the book says. Due to the lack of in-depth knowledge of the purpose of the subject, students with this mindset may face strong opposition from the competition. By implementing a STEM approach, students will not only begin to think about what is mentioned in the book but will also gain in-depth knowledge and begin experimenting in new ways.

实验也是传统教育系统中学生缺乏的主要因素之一。实验能力的缺乏会在学生的头脑中形成界限,使其盲目地跟随书本上的内容。由于缺乏对学科目的的深入了解,具有这种心态的学生可能会在未来的竞争中有更大的压力。通过实施STEM教学,学生不仅能够开始思考书中提到的概念,还能够通过探索获得更深层次的知识,并开始以新的思维方式进行实验。




5

Establish Teamwork

建立团队合作

Teamwork is the number one requirement for any organization. Lack of interactive skills reduces productivity and increases time consumption per task. On the other hand, STEM Activities include teamwork as one of the critical requirements for students. Through designated activities and group discussions, students can develop their interactive skills so that together they can play the best role as a team.

团队合作在任何组织中都是必不可少的重要要求。如若一个团队缺少互动技能,那其生产力也会大幅降低,且每项任务的时间消耗也会增加。而STEM教学将团队合作视为对学生的关键要求之一,通过指定的活动和小组讨论,学生可以在团队互动中提高合作技能,将团队的效益最大化。
