“…This requires a quick reorientation of the teacher and students to use educational solutions to provide remote access to teaching material. The article "Construction of an education model of natural disciplines' students in the distance learning conditions" [305] by Nataliia V. Valko, Viacheslav V. Osadchyi and Liudmyla V. Kuzmich studies the requirements for building a distance course in order to quickly adapt full-time education to distance learning. The features of the organization of distance STEM education are determined.…”
Section: Session B: Modelling Systems In Educationmentioning
This is an overview of the Proceedings of the 1st Symposium on Advances in Educational Technology (AET 2020), which was held in Kyiv, Ukraine, on November 12-13, 2020. It includes an introduction, a summary of the papers, and some reflections on the event and its future.
“…This study also draws attention to the need to prepare future teachers for the integration of STEM education into pedagogical practice. This study deals with the issues of training future teachers on using STEM tools, whileValko et al (2020) focus on building a model of STEM education in the context of distance learning Kuzmenko et al (2022). consider the integration of information and communication technologies into the educational process in order to improve the quality of education.…”
Aim. The aim of the study is to determine the level of readiness of future science teachers to use the STEM approach in the educational process and to develop recommendations for the integration of relevant STEM tools into the educational process of Ukraine. Methods. The study involved the following methods: the focus group method, the two-phase survey, the accompanying survey, the variable impact method, and the statistical analysis. Results. Students majoring in natural sciences are poorly prepared for the integration of STEM tools. Students of the experimental subgroup became more ready to use STEM tools and developed a more structured vision of systemic issues. Comprehensive educational courses are an effective means of preparing future teachers for the integration of STEM tools in their future activities. Conclusions. STEM approach can be effectively integrated into teaching natural sciences through comprehensive educational courses and practical activities that develop the future teachers’ skills. Virtual laboratory technologies demonstrated the greatest effectiveness. Prospects. Prospects for further research focus on the need to verify the obtained results for a wider sample of future teachers of natural sciences and other majors of higher education institutions (HEIs).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
