The Structures of STEM Education (eBook, PDF)

A Macro, Meso and Micro Analysis of Learning Outcomes

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

STEM education is shaped by interconnected macro, meso, and micro structures that impact curriculum design, teaching practices, and learning outcomes. This book explores three distinctive STEM programmes, offering practical insights for educators, researchers, and policymakers to design, plan, and implement effective STEM opportunities that drive meaningful, transformative education.

The first programme, Code to Sew, showcases a university-industry-school partnership that bridges the private-public spaces to foster innovative learning. The second programme, EPIC-STEM, takes an ecosystemic approach to building students' STEM capital through the affordance of multiple epistemic infrastructures-hackathons, consultative STEM inquiry, symposia, internships, and learning journeys-providing a scalable model across local school clusters. The third programme transcends national boundaries, enhancing teachers' capacities for STEM curriculum development with cognisance and sensitivities to the partnering country's digital transformation, education reforms, and local needs.

This book is an essential resource for readers from academic or scholarly policy-making backgrounds aiming to gain deeper insights into the interconnected Structures of STEM education and how they shape meaningful, transferable learning experiences for both educators and learners.
