In the European STEMkey project several countries collaborated to develop modules for teacher education with the aim to learn future teachers to teach standard STEM topics with a key competence approach. To achieve that we reshaped the delivery of standard STEM topics with their interdisciplinary connections and as a transversal skill critical thinking.
In the workshop we first presented the general framework of the STEMkey project. Next we created working groups on the modules to introduce and worked on some of the activities.
We closed the workshop with a general discussion on our approach for connecting the development of key competences with teaching standard topics in STEM, and the possibilities for implementing our modules in teacher education practice.
