从验证到创造——中小学STEM教育应用模式研究

From Verification to Creation——A Research on STEM Education Performance Models in Middle and Primary Schools

随着社会对人才需求的不断提高,以培养创新型复合人才的STEM教育正逐步在全球普及推广。该文首先描述了STEM教育的概念及发展历史,然后根据STEM教育应用成果的不同,把STEM教育应用模式分成了验证、探究、制造和创造四大类,每一类又可以根据应用成果达成方式的不同可以细分为支架类和开放类,并重点描述了各个模式的应用步骤及典型案例。该文进一步指出各个模式之间并非泾渭分明,教师需要围绕目标,从学习者特点、学习环境等因素出发进行灵活选择和综合应用。

With the social requirement of talents is on the rise, STEM Education aiming at cultivating creative inter-disciplinary talents has popularized all around the world. This paper firstly describe concept and historical development of STEM Education, then classifies the STEM Education＇s performance models based on the different outcomes into four parts： verification, exploration, fabrication and creation. Every model can be implemented with scaffolding or open-ended, the procedures and typical cases will be prominently figured in the paper. Furthermore, the distinction among these models is not clear-cut, so teachers should choose feasibly and apply comprehensively in the consideration of program objectives, learners＇ features, learning environment and other factors.
