Study on the Instructional Design of a STEAM Course with Chinese Characteristics - Take 'Making Handmade Wood-Burning Ceramic Cups' as a Case

摘要

In China, the disadvantages of disciplinary differentiation are increasingly emerging, while STEAM education emphasizes the application of interdisciplinary knowledge and the cultivation of innovative talents. With project learning as the core to help students master knowledge and skills, STEAM education emphasizes the use of scientific inquiry methods to stimulate students' interest in exploring the knowledge hidden behind the problem, and focuses on the adoption of engineering design to propose a solution. Combining the existing instructional design theory through literature review with the instructional design elements of some emerging learning styles, this study designed a STEAM course called "Making Handmade Wood-burning Ceramic Cups". A lesson was selected as a case to illustrate the details of this course, followed by the teaching effect to verify its feasibility and effectiveness. Together with the previous introduction about current STEAM projects in China, this paper provides reference for the construction of a STEAM course in primary and middle school with local characteristics.
