Introduction
STEM curriculum should ideally provide learning contexts for students to acquire cross-disciplinary knowledge in authentic and applied contexts. STEM inventions and innovations are constantly emerging and evolving and hence, having current knowledge of emerging technologies in STE fields will be useful in STEM curriculum design, teaching and assessment. In this course, participants will acquire basic knowledge about emerging technologies in STEM fields and apply them to the design of integrated STEM lessons. They will explore different types of cognitive processes in STEM inquiry to create problem-, solution- and user-centric STEM curriculum for students.
Upon completion of this course, participants would:
- acquire basic knowledge in selected STEM fields;
- develop STEM inquiry cognitive processes including design thinking, computational thinking, engineering design, scientific inquiry and mathematical thinking;
- be able to create problem-, solution- and user-centric STEM lessons; and
- be able to incorporate knowledge and practices from emerging technologies into STEM curriculum design.
