Enhancing STEM Students’ Engagement and Learning Outcomes with Innovative Pedagogy
This distinguished lecture is a virtual event organized by IEEE Education Society Bangalore Chapter in association with School of ECE REVA University. The talk is scheduled on 16th September at 2PM IST. The webex link will be sent to the registered participants only.
Traditional pedagogy of lectures, laboratories and tutorials is falling short of the expectations of the current students of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Consequently, in many countries students are moving away from STEM related courses. This seminar expounds how innovative pedagogy, such as Digital Storytelling and Drama-based learning, can help to enhance student engagement and lead to better learning outcomes.
Combining aspects of the creative arts with the technical content of STEM units can help to tap into the students’ creativity, making the technical content more interesting and memorable. This leads to the concept of STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.
Dr Sharda will show how Digital Storytelling and Drama can be combined with STEM content to make it fun, and a pleasure to learn at the school as well as university level education. The example of Educational Drama (EduRama) will be shown as an innovative pedagogical model for enhancing learners’ interest in Mathematics.
