STEM Education and Nature: from Neurosciences to Nano Sciences
Journal Title: Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research (BJSTR) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Parents and educators think that STEM education is a fully integrated methodology to teach all disciplines-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Although, such transdisciplinary STEM education is not enough we have to consider art, music and a hole life conditions. Multidisciplinary integration, in which neurosciences and nanosciences focus on curriculum organized around personal motivation of children. STEM education associated to art and literature makes learning more compatible with life and relevant by giving children opportunities to apply the skills and knowledge they have learned in a formal and /or informal methods. We devote a lot of effort to promote STEM education and methods for our students and young children. During USA STEM program especially in San Antonio, Texas (The National Sciences Teachers Association: NSTA), we spoke with U.S. experts about what sparked our early interest in science, technology and engineering and how to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders. When we were growing up, our parents were not in STEM education. Later, when we started looking at colleges, we discovered that we have a keen interest in fields related to the sciences. Also, when we were in the elementary Tunisian school, we had friends who lacked toys and we spent a lot of time together trying to design such toys as cars, planes, boats… things like that.
