Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) are the root of a rigorous and forward-thinking educational program here at PMIS.
STEAM is a multidisciplinary educational approach to learning that uses science, technology, engineering, arts and math as entry points for skill acquisition. This pedagogy aims to foster creativity and innovation in students.
In view of a constantly changing world, the STEAM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics), appeared in the United States a decade ago now, in order to attract more children to scientists. One way to meet the growing need for skills in these sectors of activity.
Rather than teaching the five disciplines as separate subjects, STEAM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm that shows how knowledge acquired in specific subject areas complements and supports each other. This multidisciplinary learning process encourages children to learn these subjects through practice and experimentation.
The methodology is based on the development of projects directly linked to real situations. The projects carried out by the children themselves make them the protagonists of their own learning experience.
AT PMIS, THIS IS HOW WE SEE 21st CENTURY EDUCATION !
- Science: With inquiry-based strategies and increasing complexity, students gain investigative skills as they study the earth, solar system, animals, and human body.
- Technology: Students learn increasingly complex programs and skills through assigned projects that teach them how to use technology.
- Engineering: From simple machines to Robotics, students learn to design, construct, implement, and systematize while participating in activities such as Geocaching, Mindstorm
robots, and real-world challenges. - Arts: Students actively participate in creative art forms and gain art literacy as they learn about the history, genres, and styles of art.
- Mathematics: Skills and concepts in arithmetic are learned in ability-based math groups leading to an understanding of increasingly higher mathematics, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
