Helping students understand the importance of science and technology

The ECB project funded by the European Union ("European Coordinating Organization for Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics Education") meets the current need to deepen students' interest and understanding of STEM education and career path.

"The main findings of the ROSE project show that rich country students are not enthusiastic about school science," says Alexa Joyce, senior manager of school network business development in Europe. "They do not think learning is important, or they will not increase their career opportunities."

Coordinating agencies for European science, technology, engineering and mathematics now known as "inGenious" are massive strategic responses to the EU's request to strengthen ties between science education and science and technology .

"The European school network and the European Industry Federation Round Table Conference (ERT) released content combining school and industry," Alexa says. The educational path leading to these skills is ultimately what they can do. "

This project is open to all scientific teachers and business professionals who have established the STEM Education academic and industrial world and are interested in Europe. Community members can use the free educational resources developed in cooperation with the industry to provide actual environments to STEM courses in the classroom.

"They can also participate in training events such as webinars and forums that can be referenced in collaborative working directories, from visiting venues to demos based on role models."

Alexa, in Genious is currently implementing a pilot exercise managed by Agueda Gras-Velazquez, a school network science project manager in Europe, and now in its third year, more than 150 teachers each year have been engaged in rigorous industrial science activities I decided to participate in the test and evaluation of the. "Their feedback is important to understanding the main challenges and opportunities for assignment," she said.

The project results will also support policy activities and will actively promote STEM, mutual learning and experience transfers, and discussions on publications, conferences and other events at the national and European level.

"The results of our pilot activities have just been demonstrated at the ESERA conference in Cyprus and helped to clarify the factors that affect student education and career choices," Alexa said. "In the main research results - interest in science education does not mean STEM as a specific vocational option, while talking about occupation in the classroom can make a difference. There are 20 people who are more interested. "

To date, 12,000 to 16,000 students are directly involved in the exam. Alexa said that this fall, a new school competition will be held for all schools of interest. "In the long term we would like to support the development of larger and better STEM employees to promote innovation-led growth in Europe."

Please experience. 8 The Science and Technology Science and Technology Course (S / T) helps students understand scientific thinking methods and understand the effects of scientific phenomena and technical understanding on human life. These include how science fields and interdisciplinary research, applications and research methods are developed and applied to social benefits. Quantitative literacy courses are designed to help students quantitatively explain the phenomena and to understand quantification applications, limitations, and abuses. It mediates quantitative statements by encouraging students to treat them as citizens rather than experts. Calculations may be part of the course, but these courses teach quantitative reasoning, but the main focus is not on education in computing technology.

Technical and scientific research is to gain a deep understanding of technology, science and knowledge from the perspective of humanities and social sciences. Throughout the course of learning, students will be familiar with the revision of the social and cultural analysis of modern science and technology, which interacts with processes of social, political, economic and cultural change. In this way, students gain an academic foundation that provides a detailed analysis of the various forms of technology and knowledge processes in business life / industry and commerce, research and research related work, political development, knowledge management and innovation .
