Learning about STEM in the ICT Environment - The Case of the Sound, Wave and Communication Systems Course

Teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) content is full of opportunities and challenges. This study presents the case of the development and evaluation of an integrated learning program of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for a Sound, Waves and Communication Systems course. The research aimed at exploring the student teachers’ achievements and motivation (in terms of interest and self -efficacy) to learn science and technology. The instruction method relied heavily on the extensive use of information and computer technologies (ICT). The conceptual framework for the use of ICT comprises four principles: Contextual learning, Active learning, Social learning, and Reflective learning (CASR). (מתוך המאמר‎)
