A Painting Teaching Mode Based on STEM Theory

Abstract

Painting teaching is of great significance in cultivating students’ observation, imagination, creativity and personality. However, due to the outdated teaching methods, the traditional painting teaching mode makes it impossible to effectively combine relevant knowledge and painting skills during the teaching process and therefore makes it difficult to achieve the overall purpose of painting teaching. With this regard, a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) teaching method was proposed in this study and introduced into the entire painting teaching process. It includes three painting teaching programs, namely scientific inquiry, engineering practice, and communication enhancement and integrates “Painting 3D” software of Windows 10 for teaching. The teaching practice of the STEM teaching mode in the painting course proved that the teaching mode can effectively improve students’ ability to combine the learned theoretical knowledge of painting with the actual operation. At the same time, it can enhance students’ interest in learning and cultivate students’ comprehensive capacity.

A Comprehensive Teaching Reform Model for a Computer Networks Course Based on Integrated Information Systems

“…Information system: Making use of information technology to innovate teaching models and methods is an important way to accelerate the deep integration of information technology and educational teaching [15]. In the course of our teaching reforms, utilizing the technical advantages of the teaching and research departments, we developed our own questionnaire system and educational management system.…”

Preschool STEM Activities and Associated Outcomes

“…Since then, STEM education has been increasingly recognized in the United States and globally as a basis for educational transformations that better prepare young people for college and STEM-related careers [1], [3]- [5]. The STEM approach offers an interdisciplinary Preschool STEM Activities and Associated Outcomes: A Scoping Review perspective with a positive contribution to students' creativity, achievement, motivation, critical thinking, problem solving, and higher order skills [3], [6]- [8].…”
