Thực trạng nhận thức về giáo dục STEAM của sinh viên chuyên ngành Giáo dục mầm non, Trường Đại học Thủ đô Hà Nội

Tóm tắt

Currently, as STEAM education has become one of the global educational trends, bachelor's degree programs in early childhood education are increasingly interested in training preschool teachers who are capable of organsing STEAM educational activities. In fact, a number of studies on STEAM education at preschool level have mentioned the role and awareness of training institutions, administrators, and trainers about this educational method. However, the number of research works on the content of STEAM education in the university preschool teacher training program in general as well as the awareness of preschool teacher-students about STEAM education in particular is still limited. Through surveying 183 students from first to fourth year at Hanoi Metropolitan University, this study find out that while freshmen's perceptions of the STEAM education contents for preschool children is still unclear, sophomores and third-year students have certain knowledge but are uncertain; yet fourth-year students have the most positive results despite a small proportion of ill-informed students. Finally, we propose some recommendations for teachers and majors in early childhood education, Hanoi Metropolitan University to raise students' awareness of this content.
