21 st Century Biology: An Interdisciplinary Approach of Biology, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Education

摘要

The principal goal of interdisciplinary approach for Biology, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (BTEM) is to cultivate scientific inquiry that requires coordination of both knowledge and skills simultaneously. The dominant activity for BTEM is inquiry-discovery on the authentic problems. This is intended to enhance the students’ abilities to construct their own knowledge through the relevant hands-on and minds-on activities. The essence of engineering is inventive problem solving. The Integration of advanced information communication technologies believed to be able to fulfill current Net Generation learning styles. Mathematics plays an important role as computational tools. The expected outcome of BTEM implementation is the inculcation of 21st century skills.
