News written by: C.M. Paul
Along with learning numbers and facts, students be encouraged to develop Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration and Creativity with a scientific and entrepreneurial attitude, said Dr George Panicker, alumnus of Don Bosco School Park Circus, Kolkata, and Founder of International STEAM Research Pvt Ltd.
``The best way schools can help students become future-proof or future-ready is by helping them think by indulging in experiential learning, with a hands-on methodology and sharpening their metacognitive skills,`` says Dr Panicker.
Panicker said, ``The proven methodology to implement experiential learning is through integrated S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) programmes.``
STEAM promotes growth and change in mental processes related to thinking, reasoning, memory and other areas of brain development acquired from a consolidation of knowledge gained through experiences.
STEAM is an environment where a learner can touch, feel, and learn by doing rather than just rote-learning. It promotes invention literacy by making things and relate them to the real world and their textbook topics and experience it. The various prototypes a learner develops in a STEAM space or lab help understand its applications and concepts relevant to the real world.
