Main Article Content

Abstract

 

STEM education is a learning approach which is encouraged to be implemeted in the current Vietnamese general education curriculum. A STEM topic will haveimpacts on students only when it is linked to local practices and meaningful for human life. One of aspects that is practical and attracts public attention is Robotics. This article presents a STEM topic in the field, which is a simple automated water supply system. The topic is designed based on the 6E teaching model, a model that emphasizes technical design elements in STEM-oriented teaching.

ABSTRACT

STEM education is a learning approach which is encouraged to be implemeted in the current Vietnamese general education curriculum. A STEM topic will haveimpacts on students only when it is linked to local practices and meaningful for human life. One of aspects that is practical and attracts public attention is Robotics. This article presents a STEM topic in the field, which is a simple automated water supply system. The topic is designed based on the 6E teaching model, a model that emphasizes technical design elements in STEM-oriented teaching.

Keywords:6E learning by Design Model; STEM education; educational robotics;
