FOCUS MEDIA Foundation launches advanced training program for teachers of high school, colleges and additional education “Project approach in STEM education”.
The purpose of the program is to increase the competitiveness of students for subsequent employment by including STEM methods in the educational process.
The STEM methodology (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the educational process and involve students in scientific and technical creativity. This is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of exact and natural sciences in the course of design and research activities.
Program content:
Mastering STEM techniques (second half of April). Practice-oriented training will take place at the site of school No. 518 (SBOU Secondary school No. 518 of the Vyborg district of St. Petersburg). It includes seminars and practical master classes from methodologists and teachers of the school (a total of 36 academic hours).
Creation of a training project (September-October). Project activity involves the application of theoretical knowledge directly in the classroom with students (at least 15 people 13-19 years old). To do this, teachers are provided with sets of educational equipment, as well as auxiliary materials for conducting classes. Each teacher oversees at least one educational project of his students.
Why do teachers and educational institutions need this program?
Certificate of the established sample of professional development
Equipping with STEM equipment
Methodological assistance to teachers in the preparation of classes
Preparing students for project Olympiads and competitions
The program corresponds to the elective “Project activity”
