Below we share our thoughts on pedagogy and inquiry-based STEM learning. Join us in investigating questions like: How can I provide good mathematical learning when my own experience of the subject in school was so negative?
Children have ideas and opinions and a right to be heard, especially in matters that affect their future, such as climate change. Inquiry-based learning supports children’s ability to express themselves.
Heike presents a positive approach to getting children involved in tackling climate change by empowering them to take action without making them feel anxious about the future.
How can we overcome gender bias in early childhood and work towards achieving gender parity in university subject selection?
Engage children in philosophical and ethical conversation to equip them with essential life skills such as critical and higher order thinking.
In this short interview, Anne Schneider, tells us about her love for bees and how education and care services can provide a bee-friendly environment.
Satellites not only serve very practical purposes but also satisfy our curiosity about the universe. We wouldn’t know as much about space without astronomical satellites like the Hubble Space Telescope and the other research satellites out there.
50% of participants have negative associations with this STEM subject and are, as a result, convinced that they are not capable of engaging children in mathematics. How are we supposed to kindle joy of mathematics if we break out in cold sweats thinking about equations and formulas?
Impactful early experiences help to shape our personality and create personal life-long values. Cleaning your local stream, building a water purification system or investigating other ways to protect our environment in a child-led way, could be the spark to ignite the passion for sustainability.
Find a cosy place to sit with the children and ask everyone to close their eyes. What can they hear? You will be surprised how many sounds the children notice when everybody is quiet. For many children, this might be the first time they consciously absorb the sounds around them…
