What does STEM education mainly educate children? There are mainly the following four points:
One is scientific literacy, that is, using scientific knowledge (such as physics, chemistry, biological science and geospace science) to understand nature and participate in the process of influencing nature;
The second is technical literacy, that is, the ability to use, manage, understand and evaluate technology;
The third is engineering literacy, that is, understanding the design and development process of technical engineering;
Fourthly, mathematical literacy, that is, students' ability to find, express, explain and solve mathematical problems in various situations.
Specifically, STEM education advocates a new teaching method: let students complete their own interesting and life-related projects, and learn various disciplines and interdisciplinary knowledge from the process. STEM is actually a change of traditional educational concept based on standardized examination, which pays more attention to the learning process rather than the results. In essence, we should dare to make students make mistakes, let them try different ideas and let them hear different views. Contrary to exams, children are expected to create knowledge that can be applied to real life.
