Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas
What is a STEAM education lesson?
A lesson is a prepared presentation on an educational topic that is based on the principal strands of STEAM education. The presentation that is prepared as a STEAM education lesson should present information in the best educational format that allows for the students of the lesson to best learn the STEAM educational topic.
What is the objective of a STEAM education lesson?
The objective of the STEAM education lesson should be for the students to learn the educational topic of the lesson. The educator can reach the objective by presenting the lesson by using one or a combination of various methods like lectures, textbooks and resources, research and projects, video and audio clips, letters, experiments and demonstrations, field trips, assignments, homework, guest speakers, and many more.
How is the success of a STEAM education lesson measured?
The success of the STEAM education lesson can be measured using a variety of scales and tools, however, once the measure for success has been established, it must be implemented uniformly to the students as a whole. The measurement of success must also be fair and balanced, and allow, with in a reasonable time frame, for the possibility of reaching success by ways of reevaluation and/or reassessment.
How is a STEAM education lesson implemented?
The implementation of a STEAM education lesson is to be decided by the creator of the lesson, or the educator who has been trained on how to present such lesson. When implementing a STEAM lesson, the following factors should be taken into consideration: the students, the classroom, knowledge level, supplies and materials, age, grade, learning skills and abilities of those whom we expect to be learning the STEAM lesson that is presented.
