STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) connects to the world through a range of ideas, approaches and values that are not always aligned to disciplinary content. This subject introduces students to a framework for STEM education that concentrates on the practices that underpin STEM thinking. Students learn how the STEM Practices Framework acknowledges that such practices occur both within the traditional STEM professions as well as other disciplines and fields. Through teaching STEM Practices, disciplinary knowledge follows, not only in STEM, but across all the curriculum.
