STEM (original) (raw)

A proposed Concept for integration of nanotechnology into STEM secondary schools in the Arab Republic of Egypt" The study aimed to identify the conceptual framework of STEM schools, as the study aimed to identify the concept of nanotechnology, the most important characteristics, and the importance of integrating it into the educational process, as the study aimed to know the applications of nanotechnology technology, and the challenges facing the application of this modern technology in educational institutions in general and STEM schools in particular, and a proposed concept (Enrichment program) was reached to include nanotechnology in the educational process, and the study relied on the descriptive curriculum, and the most important results of the study were: :- 1. Poor teachers' expertise in nanotechnology concepts with their applications in school education. 2. Poor educational and technological means and advanced means in schools. 3. Lack of experts and specialists in schools to train students on nanotechnology concepts and their applications in school education. The study reached many recommendations, the most important of which were: 1. Intervention of the educational process and all parties concerned about the need to include the concepts of nanotechnology and its applications in school education. 2. The use of experts and specialists in this field; To train teachers and students on this modern technology in schools. 3. Students should be given opportunities to work directly with nanotechnology research centers (local, regional and international); to gain practical experience. 4. Developing curricula and programs, in accordance with an integrated system, and employing digital technology in the management of the educational process. 5. Equipping schools with advanced laboratories; To implement practical programs and experiences in front of students. 6. Allocation (engineer- supervisor) electronics in each school; To train students in modern and cutting-edge technology. 7. Attract talented, creative and Excelling students from all schools, and create their own classrooms, or dedicated places in the pre-prepared exploration centers, in each province, where the curricula and activities of modern nanotechnology are taught to them, with material and encouragement support for them and their parents together.
