DESCRIPTION
What does being competent in science, technology, engineering and mathematics mean? Does it make sense to consider an unique competence covering four different areas? How can the students develop that competence? What strategies, resources and tools can teachers use? This course aims introduce and give examples of actions and tasks that provide opportunities to develop STEM competence in students. We will explore in detail problems of modeling and some aspects of scientific inquiry, as well as we will discuss the use of technology to gather data from surroundings and thus propose contextualized and authentic tasks.
