Whole School STEM Initiative System - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School

 Whole School STEM Initiative System - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School

 

The Whole-School STEM Initiative described here is being developed at Laing Middle School of Science and Technology in Mount Pleasant, SC. Although many STEM programs are focused on high school students, we recognize that many students, particularly girls, lose interest in science and mathematics somewhere between ages 9 and 12 [6]. For this reason, we believe that it is critical that STEM initiatives include elementary and middle school students, if these initiatives are intended to increase the number of students who consider STEM careers. The rationale for including all students in such initiatives is two-fold. First, many students may have a latent interest in STEM careers that may not be apparent in early years, but which may be encouraged by personal involvement with applications of these disciplines. Second, all students live, and will eventually work, in a world that is highly influenced by science, engineering, and technology. To function effectively in 21st century workplaces and societies, students need the ability to understand and evaluate technology in its many forms. Advocates for this “technological literacy” assert that its absence places society in a vulnerable situation: surrounded by technology, and increasingly dependent upon it; yet at a disadvantage when it comes to our understanding of it .In addition to the motivations discussed above, this initiative was developed in response to a perceived opportunity associated with widespread adoption of new education standards for English language arts, mathematics, and science . These new standards place increased emphasis on mastering key processes rather than memorization of numerous facts, as well as the application of these processes in multiple curricular subjects (instead of, for example, confining English content solely to the English class). In addition, new science standards explicitly include processes of engineering design. The opportunity presented by the imminent adoption of these new standards is to create a context in which students can couple tools of engineering and technology with skills of core curriculum subjects to  solve authentic, “real-world” problems. In this context, the oft-heard student’s lament, “Why do I need to learn this?” rarely appears; students know why they need to learn because they are personally involved with practical applications of their knowledge.

 Related Outreach of Knowledge icse school system-Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School Students graduating in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) have traditionally been in high demand for their skills. Statistics compiled by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and United States Department of Labor (DOL) show this historical trend and project significant increases in demand for the next decade despite the current economic co nditions [1,2]. Because of the high demand for STEM graduates and the contribution of high-technology industries to the country’s economic growth, significant effort mu st be placed on providing sufficient supply.   Several excellent programs have been initiated to create high school curricula with engineering content. One such program is Project Lead The Way (PLTW) which offers several courses with engineeri...

 Best School in Kumbakonam Students Evaluation - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School The student’s feedback was collected by the author at the end of the third week and after the contest (after all kids had left the university and everything was cleaned up). The following points were discussed: Were you able to improve your soft skills like organization abilities, project management and team work? Did you learn something about embedded system? How did you feel being su pported by the lecturer? How was the cooperation in your team? Students reported that they learned technical knowledge as well as professional skills which included project organization and project management. They also reported that they really liked the project itself and had fun doing this for High School kids who may be would study at the same university later on. At most the students liked the real event at the end so they felt very motivated thru al...

KARTHI VIDHYALAYA http://www.karthividhyalaya.com/ This exploratory case study research describes the integration of ICT into the teaching and learning of English, mathematics and science in an elementary level future school in Singapore. The school in this case study research is the first primary level future school that was set up under the FutureSchools@Singapore program in 2008. The school’s core mission is to seek innovative teaching approaches that leverage on technologies to better engage the new generation of young learners. The school has implemented a successful one-to-one program (i.e., one-to-one computer to student ratio) for all its students. The program ensures a two-to-one student-to-computer ratio for its Primary 1 students and one-to-one student-to-computer ratio for Primary 2 and 3. Computer ownership program, where students procure and own their own notebook computers, has been introduced to all Primary 4 students. The program promotes the visi...
