Implementation strategy of IT-integrated STEM methodology at Higher Education Institutions: Case of Turkmenistan

Published:12 September 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) methodology (instruction) becomes one of the most significant core issues of education due to the fact that labor market demands highly qualified specialists with critical thinking, inquiry, problem solving, creativity, collaboration, communication and IT-related skills. In this regard, this paper presents research results related to realization of national strategies, and applied solutions in the implementation of STEM instruction at engineering-based higher education institutions of Turkmenistan. While the research was conducted, national programmes or priorities, course objectives and features, demands of labor market and IT integration were taken into account. The implementation strategy was developed by dividing the course content into lecture (theoretical), laboratory, problem-solving and non-classroom modules. In each division of course content, applicable tasks were worked out in order to deliver course objectives using STEM instruction. These tasks were prepared in accordance with the four pillars of STEM education considering the information technologies and smart systems being used in engineering processes. The developed strategy was tested at “Metrology and standardization” course and promising results were achieved.
