How to Create a Real Learning Environment in STEM Fields?

Teachers from around the globe joined this course which takes every educator on an inner journey to unleash STEM’s hidden potential. 

In this training, I focused on how real learning in STEM fields can be achieved.

Hands-on Experiences

Provide students with hands-on experiences such as laboratory experiments, field trips, and projects. This helps them to apply the concepts they have learned in a real-world context.

Problem-based Learning

Encourages students to solve real-world problems by using their STEM knowledge. This approach helps develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and innovation.

Collaborative Learning

Foster collaboration among students by having them work together on projects, presentations, or problem-solving activities. This helps to build teamwork skills and encourages students to share their ideas and knowledge. 

Use of Technology

Integrate technology into STEM education to enhance student engagement and improve learning outcomes. This includes virtual and augmented reality simulations, coding, and computer programming.

Real-world Connections

Make connections between STEM subjects and real-world applications to help students understand the relevance of what they are learning. This can be done through guest speakers, field trips, or real-world projects.

Inquiry-based Learning

Encourage students to ask questions and explore new information and concepts. This approach helps students develop their understanding of STEM subjects and build a love of learning.

Interdisciplinary Approach

Integrate STEM subjects with other disciplines, such as art, music, and social studies, to provide a more well-rounded and engaging educational experience.
