STEM-IAPTC: Teaching STEM in primary education: an innovative approach to new pedagogy teaching concepts

Project type: NRO
Duration: May 2022 t/m September 2023
Researcher: Nardie Fanchamps

Modern learning environments that make use of digital technology are an integral part of contemporary education. The use of high-visibility ICT learning environments in the pedagogical training of primary school teachers (PABO) requires, in addition to comparing the effectiveness of digital interfaces with regular educational interventions, specific affordances and skills from these teachers to make the transfer from simulations in the classroom to realistic practice in their teaching. This requires adjustments to the curriculum so that teacher-training students can understand the concepts underlying STEM and can subsequently transfer knowledge and skills to primary school pupils in a more effective way.
