Dạy học theo định hướng giáo dục STEM chủ đề “Bút vẽ cơ học” (Toán 6) nhằm phát triển kĩ năng sử dụng tiếng Anh học thuật cho học sinh

Tóm tắt

STEM education is being promoted in the 2018 General Education Curriculum to develop students' thinking skills and practical application abilities. Another approach is integrating English into STEM lessons, allowing students not only to enhance their scientific and technological skills but also to improve their language proficiency naturally, benefiting their learning and future lives. This study aims to clarify the role of STEM education in mathematics teaching while exploring opportunities to develop students' academic English skills through STEM instruction. The study is illustrated through a STEM lesson plan on the topic of “Mechanical Drawing Pen” (Grade 6 Mathematics). The lesson aims to help students understand and apply knowledge of geometric shapes in real-world contexts, integrate Scratch programming, and develop their academic English skills. The integration of STEM and English enables students to connect mathematics with practical applications while enhancing their technological and academic communication skills. However, to implement this approach effectively, investment is needed in teacher training, instructional materials, and a learning environment that encourages students to use English in scientific contexts.
