“…The temperature of the house must be controlled by an on/off control system. Students thus have to use equations of heat transfer and mathematical modelling to simulate the behaviour of the feedback system and to adapt the dimensions and materials of the model house to optimize this behaviour (Goovaerts et al 2019a(Goovaerts et al , 2019b. Other learning units challenge students to develop a security system by means of reflecting laser beams, to design a rehabilitation device for a student who got impaired by a car accident, to develop an ecofriendly application of algae cultivation, or to build a computer program to analyse real astronomical data and to describe the motion of a binary star.…”

Bridging the Gap between Secondary and Higher STEM Education – the Case of STEM@school

Our rapidly changing society needs highly-qualified STEM professionals (experts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) to develop solutions to the problems it is facing. Many of the students who graduate from a STEM programme in secondary education, however, opt out of STEM when enrolling in higher education, often due to a loss of interest. To ensure sufficiently high and qualified enrolment in higher STEM education, we need to bridge this gap between secondary and higher STEM education by showing our youngsters the relevance of science and technology to their personal life and environment. To this end, the project STEM@school promoted and studied the idea of integrated STEM in secondary education in Flanders, Belgium. In integrated STEM education, learning contents from the separate STEM courses are linked in an authentic way, as they often are in our environmental challenges. This approach encourages students as well as their teachers to acquire a robust understanding of STEM concepts, and a creative, inquisitive, and collaborative mindset. For the design of integrated STEM curricula, STEM@school united secondary-school STEM teachers and university researchers. This article elaborates on the principles, opportunities and challenges of the design and implementation of these curricula and discusses their promising effects on students’ conceptual understanding and attitudes towards STEM subjects. The article concludes with tips and tricks to get started with integrated STEM education in secondary schools.

“…A interatividade no ensino deve envoler, entre outras características, a interação física (hands-on), o emocional, intelectual e social segundo Bassoli [9], nessas categorias o aluno deve ser desafiado em seu conhecimento de tal forma que haja oportunidade de pensar e discutir, mas também seja motivado. Esta motivação pode ser obtida pela contextualização do desenvolvimento científico [10], através da interdisciplinaridade [11,12,13], e na situação de do estudo de caso, isso é alcançado quando o estudante aprende com casos próximos do real [14].…”

Resumo A importância do protagonismo do aluno no processo de aprendizagem é reconhecida há bastante tempo. Diversas metodologias têm sido desenvolvidas, como sala invertida e o ensino baseado em projeto, ou sua variante menos complexa o ensino baseado em estudo de caso. A termodinâmica e a mecânica dos fluidos são algumas das mais complexas disciplinas ensinadas na física e engenharias. Dentre suas principais dificuldades para os alunos, são a terminologia e os conceitos pouco conectados ao cotidiano, além da necessidade de em uma analise, haver a necessidade de conexão entre vários destes conceitos e uma matemática mais complexa que a encontrada na mecânica newtoniana. O estudo de caso é considerado por vários autores uma variante do ensino baseado em projetos mais simples de ser implementado e aceito pelos estudantes. Neste trabalho é realizado um estudo de caso sobre as relações termodinâmicas de um motor-foguete bi-propelente direcionada aos alunos de engenharia. A partir de um modelo simplificado do motor, uma modelagem matemática é feita utilizando a primeira lei da termodinâmica e suas implicações. Para a realização dos cálculos matemáticos a partir da análise, é considerado um motor cujo propelente e combustível são oxigênio líquido e hidrogênio líquido (LOX/LH2), respectivamente. Este estudo de caso está em sintonia com as diversas notícias sobre exploração espacial dos projetos da Índia, China ou do chamado new space.

The purpose of this study was to analyze effectiveness of ethno-edutainment digital moduleto increase students’ concept understanding. The ethno-edutainment digital modulewas developed with the Borg and Gall models developed. The development phase of the ethno-edutainment digital moduleadds preliminary studios, product development and validation, and product trial trials. In testing the product, a large-scale trial was conducted. The effectiveness test was carried out on a large-scale trial with research subjects of fourth grade students at SD 4 Karangbener. The effectiveness of the ethno-edutainment digital modulewas accepted using test techniques. Based on N-gain trials Increased pretest and posttest scores of students produced 25% students increased in the high category, 62,5% students increased in the moderate category, and 12,5% students increased in the low category.
