Tiếp cận các phương pháp dạy học trong bài học STEM và vận dụng trong dạy học sinh học ở trường trung học phổ thông

Tóm tắt

In high schools, Biology is to be one of three constituent subjects in the group of natural sciences, which is chosen by students based on their career orientation, interests and abilities. The subject is considered to be advantageous to perform STEM education - one of the increasingly valued and popular  education trends in many countries as well as Vietnam. However, many biological teachers still confront difficulties when implementing STEM lessons due to challenges in applying appropriate teaching methods. This study sheds light on the theoretical basis for the correlation of the implementation of teaching methods in Biology STEM lessons. Furthermore, the pedagogical experiment organized 4 STEM lessons approaching teaching methods in teaching biology at 3 high schools in Thai Nguyen province. The results show that the students demonstrated an increase in learning motivation, confidence in science, and more interest in careers after participating in the STEM lessons. The teaching methods described in the study such as project-based teaching, teaching by scientific method, problem-based learning, and experiential learning are correlated with STEM education-oriented teaching which would increase the effectiveness of the organization of teaching STEM lessons in Biology if applied appropriately.
