The Importance Of The STEM Strand

1035 Words5 Pages

STEM STRAND One of the strands under the Academic Track is the STEM strand. According to Morrison (2006) science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) has been called a meta- discipline, the "creation of a discipline based on the integration of other disciplinary knowledge into a new 'whole'. This interdisciplinary bridging among discrete disciplines is now treated as an entity, known as STEM (Morrison, 2006)." The STEM strand is the combination of other of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It created into a new whole because it has a connection with each other. When we hear the word technology the first thing that comes to our mind is "Science" because technology is created using the study of Science. And also, when …show more content…

In our study it meant that when the students are supported by their parents especially their mother's the students become more motivated in the field of science and mathematics. They can continue their motivation in mathematics and science when they enter in senior high school. They can take the "Stem Strand" because they are good in science and mathematics. They can apply their ability in mathematics in science to the STEM because this strand has a lot of science and mathematics. And also, because the students are supported by their parents to be in these kind of …show more content…

In our study the interest of the students especially in adolescent girls are influences by her same-sex friends interest if she is going to take the the STEM strand. It meant that the same-sex friends interest is one of the influences that affect the student in deciding the strand that they are going to take in senior high school. If the same-sex friends of the student is interested in STEM strand the student will also be interested in STEM strand. The interest of the same-sex friends of the students in STEM strand influences the student to take the STEM as his/her strand when he/she enters in Senior High. The STEM Strand is one of the strands under the Academic track. The students can choose the STEM strand based on their own interest when they have the abilities in this career, by the influence and encouragement of their parents and maybe by the their friends interest that influences them to be in the field of science technology and engineering

  • Liberal Arts Argument In STEM Field

    I’ve seen students struggle with being literate and numerate so I’m not even sure they could begin to concern themselves with becoming competent in STEM fields during high school. It would seem that educators might be more helpful to encourage students to use high school to build a breadth of knowledge in many different areas, knowing that college will be the time to build depth. High school could be used to develop the basics and apply elements from many, non-science fields to their work similar to a liberal arts approach. Providing students with a broad-based high school foundation before entering college would help develop them into well-rounded students prepared for whichever program they choose whether it’s a STEM program or not.

    The future of the Earth is dependent upon science and mathematics development, whether it’s traveling millions of miles away to other planets, creating microscopic circuitry to control military technology, or figuring out just why the sky is blue and the sun is yellow. STEM education, therefore, is the most important frontier to pursue for the evolution of mankind. Not only do the STEM fields need to be nurtured and funded by society, but STEM fields of research and work need to be emphasized at a young age and encouraged for women and people of color. As the world becomes increasingly dependent upon advances in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields of work, less and less funding and societal support is

  • We Don T Need More Humanities Majors By Edward Conard

    805 Words  | 4 Pages

    Today, in the era of big data, machinery, and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), it is common to hear that liberal arts degrees and humanities majors are, well, comparatively worthless. Edward Conard, the author of the essay "We don't need more humanities majors", stands by this idea and argues that individuals with degrees in the STEM fields contribute far more to the economy and society than those who major and get degrees in the humanities/liberal arts field. This is actually not the case. Humanities help us understand people through their histories, cultures, and language with majors having an emphasis on languages, literature, music, art, and philosophy. Without humanities, we would not have been able to progress

    How exciting would the world be if everyone was either a scientist or mathematician? What would the world be like? Of course there will be a bountiful supply of scientific breakthroughs thank we can bank on, but what how will all of the other aspects of the world fare? As of currently, all across the country there has been a jolt of urgency for the incorporation of a more STEM based education in schools. A more “STEM” based education like the type described in We Can’t All Be Math Nerds and Science Geeks by Fareed Zakaria narrows student’s once broad-based learning foundation and directs it into a more specific line of learning, which is the reasoning behind Zakaria’s disapproval of the movement.

    When I was young, I never thought that I would want to have anything to do with a STEM career. I always thought that it wasn’t something that women did, and therefore I couldn’t do it. It wasn’t until I was in high school started learning more about science and hearing encouragement from my teachers that I realized that pursuing a career in science would be possible. Just like how Chimamanda Adichie says in her Ted Talk, “The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story.”
