Gillian Kidman: Knowledge Generation in STEM and STEAM Education, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book examines how integrative practices are conceived, described, and taught within the context of STEA^+^ M Education. This book investigates the integration of STEAM education into school curricula. The authors argue that teachers must not only understand the knowledge and skills of a specialist discipline but also understand how to integrate and synthesise knowledge in a cross-disciplinary fashion between several disciplines simultaneously. For teachers to effectively integrate multiple educational domains, they must engage students in integrative STE*A^+^*M thinking practices such as inquiry-based learning, student agency, and neo-twenty-first century skills. This must occur not only within, but also across, disciplines in an integrated manner, whether this involves multi-, inter-, or trans-disciplinary approaches. This skill is defined as integrative inquiry literacy.
