INTEGRATED CAREER EDUCATION IN STEM LESSON: "CHEMISTRY AND PREVENTION FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS" (FOR STUDENTS IN GRADE 10, VIETNAMESE CHEMISTRY CURRICULUM 2018)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Chemistry subject in the new Vietnamese general education curriculum 2018 emphasizes practicality, which enhances the skills of applying chemistry literacy to solve problems. In Chemistry, STEM education integration is encouraged to develop students' competency based on the integrated knowledge and skills of Math - Engineering - Technology, and Science. The objectives of the new Chemistry curriculum also concretize career-oriented education goals at the high school level, especially through various daily life issues and professions in society, which are presented in specialized topics. Therefore, the integration of STEM education and career education in Chemistry subject can meet the needs of educators and students. The article presents the research results on designing and delivering the STEM lesson of "Chemistry with prevention fire and explosion risks," with an orientation of career education. The experimental results show that students were interested in STEM lessons with career education integration. Besides, students realized their interests and found some career orientations for themselves.
