About this Course

This online course, designed for grade 4-8 science and mathematics teachers and teacher educators, dives into the essentials of integrating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) in the mainstream science education. With the recent revisions in the National Curriculum of Pakistan (NCP, 2022-23) emphasizing critical role of STEM, this course responds to the urgent need to equip educators with the knowledge, strategies, and confidence to bring STEM to life in their classrooms. Course participants will embark on an exploratory journey where they will engage in foundational questions like; what is STEM and why do we need STEM? How do we identify STEM? How does STEM teaching and learning look like? The course offers hands-on approaches for implementing STEM strategies in teaching and learning, guiding educators through the process of designing compelling STEM unit storylines, and honing their skills in critiquing and refining educational materials for maximum impact.

The course will follow hybrid learning within a group (cohort) of participants during the total span of six weeks. The course will have five modules asynchronously. While there will be two synchronous zoom sessions, one after completing module 3 and one after completing module 5. The course will require 6 weeks and each module will require one week for completion except for module 4 that will require two weeks.

What Will You Learn

This online STEM course is designed based on the urgency to equip grade 4-8 science and mathematics teachers and teacher educators to orient with the recent addition of STEM in mainstream science education (NCP, 2022-23). Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Reflect on the need for STEM within science teaching and learning
  • Explore characteristics of integrated STEM
  • Demonstrate the use of STEM in teaching and learning
  • Apply the characteristics of STEM to design a STEM unit storyline
  • Critique STEM unit storyline
