I-STEM yikharikhulamu yezemfundo egxila kakhulu kwizihloko zeS S , u-Echnology, i- E ngineering, ne- M maths.
Izikole nezinhlelo ze-STEM zihambela lezi zifundo eziyinhloko ezifundisayo ngendlela edidiyelwe ukuze izakhi zesifundo ngasinye zisetshenziswe kwabanye. Izinhlelo zokufunda ezigxilwe yi-STEM zisuka ezikoleni zasenkulisa ezikoleni zasesikoleni, ngokuya ngezinsiza ngaphakathi kwesifunda noma isifunda esikoleni. Ake sibheke ngokucophelela i-STEM nokuthi yini abazali abadinga ukwazi ukucacisa ukuthi ngabe isikole se-STEM noma uhlelo kuyisinqumo esihle kumntanakho.
Kuyini i-STEM?
I-STEM iyinhlangano ekhulayo emfundweni, hhayi nje e-United States kodwa emhlabeni jikelele. Izinhlelo zokufunda ezisekelwe ku-STEM zenzelwe ukwandisa isithakazelo sabafundi ekuphishekeleni imfundo ephakeme nemisebenzi kulezo zindawo. I-STEM imfundo isebenzisa imodeli emisha yokufunda ehlanganisiwe ehlanganisa ukufundiswa kwendabuko yokufundela ekilasini nokufunda oku-intanethi kanye nemisebenzi yokufunda ngezandla. Lolu hlobo lokufunda oluhlangene luhlose ukunikeza abafundi ithuba lokuthola izindlela ezahlukene zokufunda nokuxazulula izinkinga.
STEM Isayensi
Amakilasi esigabeni sesayensi yezinhlelo ze-STEM kufanele abheke azijwayele futhi ahlanganise i-biology, i-ecology, chemistry, ne-physics. Kodwa-ke, isigaba sezesayensi se-STEM-sigxile akusilo uhlobo lwesigaba sesayensi ongayikhumbula. I-STEM amakilasi wesayensi ahlanganisa ubuchwepheshe, ubunjiniyela, nezibalo ezifundweni zesayensi.
STEM Technology
Kwabazali abathile, izinto eziseduzane namakilasi ezobuchwepheshe kungenzeka ukuthi zidlala imidlalo yokufundela ukutadisha ngezikhathi ezithile zomsebenzi webhulebhu. Amakilasi wezobuchwepheshe aguqukile futhi angabandakanya izihloko ezinjenge-digital modeling ne-prototyping, ukuphrinta kwe-3D, ubuchwepheshe beselula, uhlelo lwekhompiyutha, i-analytics yedatha, i-intanethi yezinto (IoT), ukufundwa komshini, nokuthuthukiswa kwemidlalo.
STEM Engineering
Ngokufana nobuchwepheshe, insimu kanye nobubanzi bobunjiniyela bukhule kakhulu eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Amakilasi wezobunjiniyela angabandakanya izihloko ezinjengezobunjiniyela bomphakathi, i-elekthronikhi, ubuchwepheshe kagesi, ubunjiniyela bomshini, kanye ne- robotics - i- topics abazali abaningi abazange bacabange ukufunda njengesikoleni sokuqala.
STEM Math
Ngokufanayo nesayensi, izibalo isigaba esisodwa se-STEM namakilasi azozwakala ajwayele, afana ne-algebra, i-geometry, ne-calculus. Kodwa-ke, izibalo ze-STEM zinemibono emibili eyinhloko kusuka kubazali ababala ukukhumbula. Okokuqala, izingane zifunda izibalo ezithuthukisiwe kakhulu ezinsukwini ezincane nge-algebra ezethula kanye ne-geometry kusukela ekuqaleni kwebanga lesithathu kwabanye abafundi ngokujwayelekile, ngisho nalabo abangabhalisile ohlelweni lwe-STEM. Okwesibili, akufani neze nezibalo njengoba kungenzeka ukuthi ufunde. I-STEM izibalo zihlanganisa imibono kanye nokuzivocavoca okusebenzisa isayensi, ubuchwepheshe, kanye nobunjiniyela ngezibalo.
Izinzuzo ze-STEM
I-STEM isibe yi-buzzword emfundweni. Abantu abaningi banokuqonda ngokucacile izinhlelo zokufunda ze-STEM, kodwa bambalwa abakuqonda umthelela onayo emfanekisweni omkhulu wemfundo eMelika. Ngandlela-thile, i-STEM imfundo yisibuyekezo esingapheli isikhathi eside ohlelweni lwethu lwezemfundo jikelele oluhloswe ukuletha izingane ngokusheshisa ngamakhono nolwazi olufanele kakhulu emphakathini wanamuhla. Amasu we-STEM enza okuningi ukuze afinyelele futhi akhuthaze amantombazane nabancane abangeke babonise isithakazelo ezindabeni ze-STEM esikhathini esidlule noma kungenzeka ukuthi abanalo ukusekelwa okuqinile ukuphishekela nokuhamba phambili kuzihloko ze-STEM. Ngokuvamile, kunesidingo sangempela sokuba bonke abafundi bafunde kabanzi ezindaweni zesayensi nobuchwepheshe namuhla kunabantwana abadlule ngenxa yendlela indlela ezobuchwepheshe kanye nesayensi ezithonya ngayo futhi zakha impilo yethu yansuku zonke. Ngalezi zindlela, i-STEM imfundo ithole isimo sayo se-buzzword.
Izikhalazo ze-STEM
Yize bambalwa bengase bathi ukuguqulwa ohlelweni lwezemfundo e-US kuye kwadingeka okwesikhashana nokuthi ezinye izinguquko ziyadingeka, kunabanye othisha nabazali abanezinsolo ze-STEM okufanele zicatshangelwe. Abagxeki be-STEM bakholelwa ekugxileni ngokujulile kwisayensi, ubuchwepheshe, ubunjiniyela, kanye nezibalo zokunciphisa abafundi abafundi nokufunda kanye nezinye izihloko ezibalulekile, ezifana nobuciko, umculo, izincwadi nokubhala. Lezi zihloko ezingezona eze-STEM zenza ukuthuthukiswa kobuchopho, amakhono okufunda okubucayi, namakhono okuxhumana. Okunye ukugxekwa kwe-STEM imfundo kungumqondo wokuthi uzogcwalisa ukuntuleka kwabasebenzi ezindaweni ezihlobene nalezo zihloko. Kubasebenzi bezobuchwepheshe kanye nemisebenzi eminingi yobunjiniyela, lokhu kubikezelwa kungenzeka kube yiqiniso. Kodwa-ke, imisebenzi ezindaweni eziningi zesayensi nasemathematika njengamanje zinokuntuleka kwemisebenzi etholakalayo ngenani labantu abafuna umsebenzi.
