STEM Conceptualization

SCIENCE

Science is responsible for giving a theoretical explanation to natural phenomena (Acevedo, 2006; Dugger, 1993)

TECHNOLOGY

Technology allows solving problems and satisfying human needs, transforming the environment, using resources and knowledge in a creative and critical way (MEN, 2008)

ENGINEERING

Systematic design process to solve real-world problems (Next Generation Science Standars (NGSS, 2013)

MATHEMATICS

Provide analytical tools to design, create, modify and restructure the world (Dugger, 1993)

STEM EDUCATION FROM AN INTEGRATED PERSPECTIVE

Integrated STEM education seeks to integrate the knowledge of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to solve real-world problems.
