Thực trạng giáo dục STEM trong dạy học môn Khoa học tích hợp tại hệ thống giáo dục Vinschool ở Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Tóm tắt

Currently, primary schools in the Vinschool education system in Ho Chi Minh City are teaching science according to the Cambridge Primary Science book series called Integrated Science, with the content of the program meeting the goals of the 2018 General Education Program. This article presents the current status of integrating STEM education in the form of lessons in the Integrated Science program in the Vinschool education system in Ho Chi Minh City, through a survey of 120 primary school teachers. The survey results show that although the integration of STEM education into the Integrated Science program has been implemented, it still faces many challenges; teachers have a correct understanding of the importance of STEM education and have applied many different teaching methods and techniques, but the level of use of specific STEM methods such as scientific experiments, investigations, and project-based learning is still not regular and effective. The main difficulties that teachers face include lack of time, inadequate facilities, and students' passivity in learning activities. The survey results will be a practical basis for developing measures to support teachers in designing and implementing STEM lessons in teaching integrated Science effectively.
