4E mode is a common teaching mode in STEAM education, which includes the following four stages:
Exploration: Students stimulate their curiosity and interest by observing, exploring and asking questions. At this stage, students can conduct field trips, experiments, observations and other activities to understand and discover problems.
Design: On the basis of exploration, students begin to design and plan. They can put forward ideas and schemes to solve problems, design prototypes and make models.
Creation: Students practice according to the designed scheme and make products or solutions. At this stage, students can use the knowledge and skills of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics for practical operation and creative expression.
Exhibition: Students show their works, solutions or achievements to others. This can be exhibitions, demonstrations, reports or other forms of exhibition activities. Through the exhibition, students can share their own learning experiences and achievements, and at the same time, they can learn and improve further from others' feedback.
Through 4E mode, students can explore and learn in practice, and cultivate creativity, problem-solving ability and teamwork spirit. This teaching mode emphasizes students' active participation and practical experience, and promotes the development of students' comprehensive ability and innovative thinking.
