STEAM教育對學生創新素養的影響及其實施策略
“與傳統的分科教學不同，STEAM教育將相關的課程進行有機交叉融合，相互協調作用，形成一個知識體系，並將其應用於實際的問題解決之中。
STEAM教育強調通過整合科學、技術、工程、數學和人文藝術等多個學科、多個領域的知識與技能，在傳統上相互分離、各成體系的學科中間建立一座溝通的橋樑，使學生學習的分專業的、零碎的知識變成一個相互聯繫、相互統一的整體，讓他們能夠從完整、系統的視角去認識世界，認識社會。
在實現這些目標的同時，避免了傳統分科教學所存在的知識割裂現象，有利於學生形成跨學科或交叉學科的綜合素養[7]，有利於實踐創新素養的形成。”
(一) 從跨學科、跨領域的角度培養學生的創新素養
STEAM教育強調將科學、技術、工程、人文藝術和數學等多個學科進行交叉融合。為此，學校可以通過應用現代信息技術、調整課程安排、編寫校本教材等途徑開展教育教學活動進而促進學生的創新素養發展。
首先，應用現代信息技術有助於教師向學生提供多樣化教學內容，還可以使學生對於課程的理解加深，對於問題的感知更加深刻，幫助學生進行STEAM相關的學習，促進學生創造性的問題解決；
其次，學校應該提供豐富的課程設置以滿足不同學生的需求，同時設置嚴格的專業要求以控制學習質量，在這些前提下給予學生自主的學業選擇，幫助學生確定符合自己特長、興趣和個性的方向[23]；
再次，學校可以結合地域特點和自身特點，開發地方與校本課程資源，就機械人、陶瓷器工藝、污水過濾、霧霾防治等主題開設具有地方文化特色的科技設計製作課程和校本實踐活動課程，甚至編寫能夠體現本地、本校文化特色的相關教材等。
通過上述多種方式實現的多學科領域交叉融合，必將對創新型人才的培養起到重要的作用。

當年討論通識、到現在STEM/STEAM, 都是教育界的一些晃子花招。
傳統的學習就是"相互分離"、各成體系"、"知識割裂"，莫非以推動STEM/STEAM為招萊的，才可以培養創新型人才?

STEM or STEAM is just gimmick for certain newly established schools in HK or learning institutes in the market to lure business. it may be eye-catching to certain parents. but if for the benefit of academic development, it is still the basics that counts most - Maths, language and writing ability.

Agree it is only gimmicks...
Another way to repackage what's already on the plate for a long long time.
Not bad for raising awareness though. Before this enthusiasm for STEM, I thought Hong Kong students/parents have already abandoned maths and sciences for language.
作者: kwunpa 時間: 17-12-6 17:22
當然系 gimmick。
美國點解近年要搞 STEM？系因爲他們發覺美國中小學的數理水平比起東亞地區（包括香港）太差，他們不想失去科學大國地位，不想他們的學生落後於東亞學生，所以在中小學推行 STEM。換句話説，美國搞 STEM 是學香港（及其他東亞國家）。香港教育局岸居居，見美國興，又跟人搞大龍鳳，又唔知人地系因爲香港學生數理好才要搞 STEM , 而家就調轉頭學人地；仲每年比幾億中小學搞 STEM，大部分就其實落灑D所謂 供應商度。

The Importance of STEAM Learning
If you are familiar with the technology or educational sectors, you have undoubtedly heard that STEM, which is educational focus in science, tech, engineering and math, is being changed to STEAM, to include the arts. This is an initiative that is being accepted on an increasing scale by institutions, corporations, and education and tech professionals,and we here at Vidcode are totally on board.
STEAM learning is such a hot topic right now, and STEM/STEAM related careers are in such high demand that the Federal Government has just extended a provision allowing foreign students that are earning degrees in STEM fields a seven month visa extension, now allowing them to stay for up to three years of “on the job training.”
But why is STEAM so important to teach kids in school today?
The US Department of Education reports that the number of STEM/STEAM jobs in the United States will grow by 14% from 2010 to 2020, growth that the BLS terns as “much faster “ than the national average of 5-8 % across all job sectors.
Computer programming and IT jobs top the list of the the hardest to fill jobs, according to a recent study done by McKinsey. Despite this, the most popular college majors are not STEAM related.
“The number of graduates in the STEM fields is growing. Only .8% annually” according to the same Mckinsey study. So how can we get more kids involved in STEM, and create a strong and able workforce?
By teaching STEAM, of course.
The inclusion of the arts component into STEM makes it more fun to learn, and more approachable to kids. A child who has never seen code or computer science learning will be less intimidated and more engaged if it includes something they are familiar with, like an art component, whether that is learning it on an interface that uses a creative component to teach it, or whether they are learning computer science by actually creating something, like on our platform, Vidcode.
Children need to be engaged in learning, and learn in ways that can hold their attention, the way social media, and internet sites like Youtube do, The easiest way to do this is to make it fun and interesting. The inclusion of arts does this, for a wider range of children. Something like video art tied into code makes learning look more fun, where the student is solving a problem to create a project they love.
Art education allows students to learn things in a more open ended way and make them applicable to real life. Arts and creativity are crucial to the sciences, technology and computer science.They are the tool that allows technology to be usable in real life! Arts are used in website and user interfaces design, advertising, product design and usability, branding and start-up creation among countless other uses, all things that are crucial to STEM learning and careers.
So STEAM education is crucial to educate and prepare the next generation of the American, and global workforce, and to allow this generation to create jobs and grow the economy.

They show you around the campus and give information about the school. ASHK had the school director giving an information session and introducing their STEAM program and how students can benefit from that. As I intend to apply for ASHK KG classes for my son, then they showed me their KG classrooms and I saw that the kids are very happy and enjoy their lessons.

STEM vs STEAM: What’s Better?
By: Janelle Cox
Science, technology, engineering, and math, otherwise known as STEM, has become a major focal point in today’s schools. However, individuals are now proposing that art be added into the mix to make STEAM, which would be STEM + Art = STEAM. The goal of this would be to take science, math, and technology and add an art component to it. This has led to quite some controversy and debate. Here we will take a brief look at the two, to see how they both measure up.
STEM
Let’s first take a look at where STEM education originated. It came from the growing concern that today’s employees had a lack of skills and talent that was needed in order to succeed in the 21st century economy.
So individuals in the public and the private sector decided that our education system needed to change, or should I say adapt what they were focusing on. Students need more math and science and need to be able to take that knowledge and apply it solve challenging problems, as well as be able to be successful in the workforce once they graduate from high school. Research shows that students who study STEM gain a variety of skills such as critical thinking, communication and innovation, as well as collaboration to name a few. Studies show that a quality STEM education program is engaging, motivating, student-centered, innovative, collaborative, and applies real-world applications. Education Weekly said it best when they said that it uses the knowledge of math and science in order to create technologies and solutions to real-world problems using an engineering approach.
STEAM
Steam. edu defines STEAM education as Science and Technology, interpreted through Engineering and the Arts, all based in Mathematical elements. This idea of adding the arts to STEM has recently gained a lot of momentum. The “A” in STEAM doesn’t just represent the arts, but is more of a broad term that represents liberal arts, language arts, social studies, physical arts, and fine arts and music. It’s basically a framework for teaching which is customizable and functional, hence the “fun” in functional. It’s not about spending less time on STEM subjects and more time on art, it’s about applying creative thinking to STEM projects, and sparking students’ imagination and creativity through the arts. It’s about exploring where art naturally fits into the STEM subjects. You can add some STEAM into STEM by applying design and computer graphics to projects, or using the performing arts to communicate a STEM project. Students can utilize their artistic talents to generate innovative thinking.
The Great Debate
STEM vs STEAM has been quite a debate over the past few months. STEM supporters argue that there should be a separation between the arts and the sciences to prevent anything from taking away from the core focus of science, technology, engineering, and math. This perspective is partly fueled by the fear of the United States lacking the essential skills needed in order to be on par with the rest of the developing nations. STEAM supporters argue that it’s not about spending less time on the core subjects and more time on the arts, but rather incorporating the arts into the core STEM subjects and filling in the gaps.
There isn’t a clear picture of what STEAM education actually looks like -- it’s just too new right now. But children need a well-rounded education and adding the arts to essential 21stcentury skills will give them that opportunity. Today’s students need tomorrow’s skills, and if that means adding the arts to math and science so that they can have what it takes to live in this ever-changing world, then so be it. The students of today need to be able to solve the problems of tomorrow. STEM and STEAM educational programs can both help them do that. As long as students are motivated and engaged in what they are doing, they have a real chance to make a difference in this world.

I'm thinking to have my son transferred to ASHK so I joined their school tour too. I visited their G3 class and found that their students were doing teamwork together and have good problem-solving skills. When I visited some other IS, the students were just sitting by themselves without much interaction.
