Stem teaching method is an educational concept that emphasizes practice and interdisciplinary, which is different from the traditional single subject teaching based on book knowledge.

STEM originated in the United States, and it is an interdisciplinary comprehensive education that integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

In recent years, the concept of STEM has been derived from STEM, that is, art has been added, and some innovative education schools have added entrepreneurship to STEM. These are collectively referred to as "STEM+". No matter how you go up, the main idea of STEM education remains unchanged, emphasizing the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge and the connection between theoretical study and hands-on practice.

In recent ten years, STEM education has gradually become a new trend in the development of international science education, and it has begun to affect science education in kindergartens in China. Compared with domestic exam-oriented education, STEM education pursues children's all-round development, and its educational model is more flexible and diverse, which has been sought after and recognized by millions of parents.

Overview of stem teaching method:

Create a learning environment, in which the behavioral requirements for teachers include:

1) Improve classroom culture

Get rid of the passivity, fear of difficulties and weariness of learning in class, create a positive classroom atmosphere that makes students feel safe (for example, make students feel dare to make mistakes), encourage students to exert their imagination, satisfy their curiosity and enterprising spirit with exploration, and establish a student-centered classroom culture.

2) Establish an atmosphere of cooperative learning.

Let students naturally think of and complete hands-on projects with their classmates in the learning process, and form the study habit of peer help.

3) Connecting extracurricular learning and opening up the classroom boundary.

Observe learning in daily life, make learning a natural part of life, and cultivate the learning concept of "from practice to practice"

4) Integrating technology into the classroom.

Jump out of the limitations of books and pens, let science and technology empower teaching materials and teaching processes, and help students understand what they have learned in more dimensions and in depth. This part will be mentioned in the later SAMR technology application model.
