STEAM education is an educational concept; STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. STEAM education is a comprehensive education integrating science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
STEAM is an educational concept, which is different from the traditional single course and emphasizes textbook knowledge. STEAM is the definition of super-curriculum education that emphasizes practical activities. The success of anything depends not only on the completion of a certain ability, but also on many abilities. For example, in the whole process of building new scientific and technological electronic equipment, we should not only be scientific and technological, but also apply new scientific and technological methods to product innovation, and also have a beautiful appearance, that is, the integration of art and other aspects. Therefore, the application of single professional skills has long been unable to support the development trend of outstanding talents in the future. What everyone wants in the future is comprehensive talents in all aspects. Then discuss the concept of STEAM education.
The idea of STEAM education was originally advocated by American government departments to strengthen the education of science and technology, engineering, art and mathematics in K 12. The original body of STEM is the core concept of STEM, that is, science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Educate children in the rapid development and promotion of science, technology, engineering and mathematics industries, encourage their comprehensive quality, and then improve their global competitiveness. Recently, Arts, that is, art, has been added, which is more and more comprehensive.
The significance of STEAM education in the United States is no less than that of literacy education in China. In the United States, most primary and secondary school students have been provided with the budget of STEAM education, and STEAM is always talked about by teachers, school leaders and educators. Under the advocacy of STEAM education, intelligent robots and 3D photocopiers have entered universities. Obama also added a team of all staff to learn programming and wrote his first code; There are all kinds of educational high-tech products to help children learn math and science; And these five courses, the integration of technology and engineering, the integration of art and mathematics, dare to innovate curriculum boundaries.
The science class of STEAM education combines a lot of elements. The same problem will be explained more and more soundly in STEAM education, and the expression of short stories in Friends course will become more and more interesting, so that students can not only participate in classroom teaching better, but also broaden their logical thinking, exercise their practical ability and independent innovation ability, thus enhancing their comprehensive competitiveness.
STEAM education is not bound by traditional education, not limited to results, and attaches great importance to the whole process of exploration. This makes students have less work pressure in study, more pressure in study and training, easier to open the development potential of students' scientific fantasy, create students' own self-confidence and stimulate students' bold imagination; Coupled with the enhancement of teachers' hands-on ability, STEAM education has made education infinite.
STEAM education can improve students' practical ability, brain ability, independent innovation ability, language expression organization ability, performance stage presentation ability, interpersonal communication ability, leading cadre ability, unity and cooperation ability, students' independent learning ability, and improve students' thinking logic ability.
