Microcredential course in STEAM education through a hands-on approach

This course incorporates curriculum recommendations, particularly those relating to primary and secondary education, which advocate a more interdisciplinary approach to teaching. An integrated STEAM approach is therefore becoming increasingly popular, as it prepares students for real-life challenges and professions that require knowledge in these subjects. Recently, this approach has been proposed as a means of motivating students to study mathematics, a subject that is often blamed for contributing to academic failure, which in turn restricts access to professional careers in this field. The course provides an integrated STEAM approach that emphasises mathematics and uses a hands-on, inquiry-based methodology. Students are asked questions that encourage them to carry out practical activities, think critically, discuss and reach conclusions, thereby promoting meaningful learning of the curricular concepts introduced.

Raise awareness of the importance of the STEAM approach, to motivate students to learn and better prepare them for the real world. Promote reflection on the STEAM approach, particularly on methodologies for implementing this approach in the classroom. Plan, carry out and evaluate teaching practices using different methods, strategies and resources in the context of STEAM education.
