Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study researched the curriculum research and development regarding “Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEM)/(STEAM)” from the view of disaster prevention, energy and risk assessment literacy. The result are summarized as follows:
(1)This study proposed the coherent technology curriculum for 7th -9th grades referred to the current national curriculum standards to focus on inter cross-curricular among STEM/STEAM educational themes and intra cross-curricular among each technology objects. (2)This research reported the current practical studies and issues on STEM/STEAM links in the 76th ITEEA (International Technology and Engineering Educators Association) annual conference on March 27-29, 2014. (3)This study suggested the conceptual and coherent frameworks on the STEM/STEAM related to scientific and technological innovation and governance. This study also proposed stronger relation between STEM and general problem solving learning processes.
