STEMkey as international Erasmus+ project stands for 'Teaching standard STEM topics with a key competence approach'. The project's objective is to transform future teachers' approach to teaching standard STEM topics.
To achieve that, we want to rethink, reshape and redirect the delivery of fundamental STEM subjects knowledge in the direction of key competence development. We want to encourage future teachers to refrain from teaching with the sole purpose of knowledge-transfer of a single STEM subject, isolated from other STEM subjects.
This simply does not measure up to todays and tomorrows challenges and requirements anymore. Instead, through STEMkey we empower future teachers to nurture their students' key competences when delivering standard STEM content (Functions and Measurement from Mathematics, Electricity and Light from Physics, Periodical System and Chemical Reaction from Chemistry, Human Anatomy and Physiology and Material Cycles from Biology, Household Appliances from Engineering, Technical Materials from Technology and Algorithms and Data from ICT).
To achieve this objective we develop teaching modules with above mentioned topics to be used in higher education programs for future STEM teachers, which will transform future STEM teachers' teaching abilities. More information about project: https://icse.eu/international-projects/stemkey.
