STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) learning is an active process during which children construct their own ways of knowing and develop understanding through both individual thinking and social interactions. STEM teaching needs to reflect this. Through the presentation of pedagogical frameworks, this subject will inform students of ways of designing STEM learning opportunities aligned with concept development, including the use of digital technologies. The frameworks connect socio-cultural and cognitive learning theories to practice, incorporating digital and non-digital experiences in authentic ways. Students will examine literature and resources and apply their knowledge of the frameworks to classroom examples. This subject offers students both a conceptual framework and a design lens for STEM education that meets the needs of learners.
1. Demonstrate an advanced understanding of how theoretical underpinnings influence pedagogical frameworks;
2. Select and apply appropriate pedagogical frameworks that promote STEM thinking for all children; and
3. Analyse lesson design with the intent to promote STEM engagement.
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - evaluate and adopt new technology
