Advancing Sustainable Development Goals With Educational Technology

Abstract

STEM education, covering Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, equips students with critical problem-solving skills and prepares them for advanced studies and careers in these fields. Originating from the National Science Foundation's initiative to drive innovation, STEM integrates hands-on, problem-based learning to tackle real-world challenges. Its growing importance aligns with global competitiveness goals, enhancing student readiness for high-tech careers and fueling economic growth. Educational technology plays a key role in this transformation through interactive tools and multimedia resources. However, challenges like resource limitations and teacher training gaps hinder effective integration. Continuous research and professional development are needed to fully harness technology's potential, ensuring it supports educational goals and enhances learning outcomes.
