This subject examines different pedagogical models for the innovative teaching and learning of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Students will first explore the social, cultural and political contexts that drive the current emphasis on STEM integration. Students will then examine case studies from exemplary STEM pedagogical models to identify and evaluate common characteristics of effective integrated STEM learning experiences. Finally, students will discuss issues related to the design, implementation and evaluation of integrated STEM teaching approaches for an educational or professional setting.
