Researches show that simplified and easy structured content
is better than hard and advance structure. If the purpose is to guide the
students about the basics of STEM then educators and institutes should choose a
simplified way of teaching.
In schools, where our aim is just to introduce kids with
science, modern tech, engineering, and mathematics, we have to prepare an easy
to understand education structure so that, they enjoy this learning process and
di not feel it a burden on them.
What is the Purpose of STEM Education?
STEM refers to science, technology, engineering, and math.
The purpose of this education is to develop basic scientific understanding,
critical thinking, planning, computer and tech abilities in students. STEM
education also responsible to tell the students how they can solve real-world
problems using the knowledge. It builds creativity in students, increase
intelligence level and let them practice and solve problems in an academic
career.
By understanding the worth of STEM, it is now being taught
in US schools also. But it is very important to structure is well in order to
get the right outputs.
