This has created inroads for STEAM education into our new-age classrooms.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is STEAM education?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. It is an experimental form of learning that is more focused on building skills in students and providing a deep conceptual understanding through teaching two or more of the mentioned subjects together.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how STEAM is intended to change the Indian education system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. <strong>Focus on skill-based education:<\/strong> STEAM education enables students to learn how to build skills which are used in real life. It promotes activities that arouse the natural curiosity of the student and provides a more personalised learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. <strong>Works for both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary models:<\/strong> STEAM education works for both inter- and transdisciplinary models and can be applied as an umbrella methodology in any board. Today, schools are in search of in-classroom innovations, such as STEAM lab set-ups or AI-based curriculum integrated with STEAM education as an in-curriculum program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <strong>Educators versus Teachers:<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>Educators play an important role in STEAM education as architects of experiential learning. Unlike teachers, educators are not just sources of knowledge, but they also create a space for open, creative and experiential learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. <strong>Innovation as an evaluation parameter:<\/strong> STEAM or experiential learning methodology makes the evaluation process transparent and facilitates self-discovery in students. The biggest advantage of&nbsp; STEAM is that it enables children to build solutions with tangible outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>STEAM provides students with robotics, artificial intelligence, coding, laser &amp; 3D printers and various other tech solutions at their disposal to help them create, innovate and implement. This enables learning via innovation, rather than a set of instructions.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News and Image Source:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/education-today\/featurephilia\/story\/4-ways-education-is-going-through-a-complete-shift-with-steam-education-1603910-2019-09-27\">https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/education-today\/featurephilia\/story\/4-ways-education-is-going-through-a-complete-shift-with-steam-education-1603910-2019-09-27<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In order to keep up with the generation of post-millennials, schools are now in a quest for fresh, intuitive, discovery-based, challenging educational environments.
