https://stand.fm/episodes/62f90a10fa1b1a01778585cdToday, I'm going to talk about new education called 'STEAM Education'
'STEAM' stands for S as Science, T as Technology, E as Engineering, A as Arts, and M as Math. The aim is to raise children to solve social impasses, making the most of using above 5 categories like knowledge and skills. This education was insisted by an American technical subject teacher, G.Yakman in 2006.
Before 'STEAM Education', there had been 'STEM Education' which was to make children raise strong knowledge and skills of Science and Technology to compete Internationally. This 'STEM Education' was named Dr. J.Ramaley from American National Science Foundation.
It is said that former president Barak Obama had propelled 'STEM Education' and expanded it to the world.
The difference between ‘STEAM Education' and 'STEM Education' is that ‘STEAM Education' has Art rather than 'STEM Education'
The 'Art' above is essential for making people raise their originality and power of idea.
The most important point for 'STEAM Education' is to set humans, or children center, which is as follows: the aim is to develop human's potential power, that refine us human ability that robots cannot do. The power of arts will give birth to feelings of sensitive and share. This is why 'Art' or ' Liberal Arts' has included importantly.
In my previous column, I introduced 'Future Employment'.
The appearance of Artificial Intelligence, AI and various kinds of robots will take human's jobs away in the near future. Therefore, we need tasks with non-routine, complex perception, and creative intelligence tasks.
To make children raise such problem-solving skills and abilities in the future, 'STEAM Education' like programming, discovery methods, discussion, active learning and so on should be managed to be needed rather than conventional knowledge cramming in present schools.
Thank you for joining me as always.
See you next time.
