STEM+课程的开发与实施——基于“恐龙星球”课程开发实施的思考

The Development and Running of STEM+ Courses—— A Case Study of the Development of the "Dinosaur Planet" Course

STEM是科学、技术、工程和数学四门学科英文首字母的缩写,STEM教育强调多学科交叉融合,形成有机整体。STEM+教育是在STEM教育基础上的扩充和扩展,强调更多学科的交叉融合,以更好地培养学生的创新精神和实践能力。STEM+教育的开展需要优质的STEM+课程资源,这需要学校积极投入这类课程的开发和实施。北京理工大学附属中学依托社会资源成功开发出"恐龙星球"STEM+主题课程,在课程实施中总结出应注意的关键问题,即注重融合、富于趣味、创设情境、强调体验、巧妙设计和团队协作。

STEM is the acronym of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. STEM education highlights a combination of multiple subjects to form an organic whole. As an extension of STEM education, STEM＋ features an integration of more subjects to develop the students＇ innovative spirit and practical knowledge. STEM＋ presupposes top-level STEM＋ courses, which are to be developed and run by schools through great efforts. By using resources from outside school, the High School Affiliated to Beijing Institute of Technology has successfully designed a themed STEM＋ course called ＂Dinosaur Planet＂, and summed up what makes a good STEM＋ course： multidisciplinary combination, interesting content, situational teaching, experience-oriented learning, smart design and teamwork.
