STEM is the acronym of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, in which science lies in understanding the world and explaining the objective laws of nature. Technology and engineering transform the world, realize the control and utilization of nature on the basis of respecting the laws of nature, and solve problems encountered in the process of social development; Mathematics is the basic tool of technology and engineering. It can be seen that most problems in life need to be solved by applying the knowledge of various disciplines.

Second, how do you know the STEM evaluation?

Understanding 1: Regarding STEM education, the best way is to attach importance to students' usual evaluation and change the lifelong learning mode.

Then the evaluation in this kind of teaching only pays attention to the process, not just the score of an exam like us. This evaluation should have some evaluation criteria. This evaluation scale includes student learning process record scale, student knowledge evaluation scale, student comprehensive quality evaluation scale and teacher classroom feedback evaluation scale. Feedback students' performance with a series of big data. In these evaluation scales, teachers may give children a positive evaluation, but it is difficult to judge cooperative evaluation. Because this cooperative evaluation is collective cooperation, you can only track and examine students' communication ability, cooperation ability, cooperation ability, creativity, pressure resistance and endurance.

There is a project (engineering) in Stem teaching, and this ability is difficult to evaluate, because the duration of this project is 10 or 20 days, which requires everyone's cooperation and help, and cultivates a person's ability to cooperate with others, help project management and help others. Learn to communicate with others and learn to be tolerant. I can't meet people and have a bad attitude. In addition, it also has the ability to resist pressure, which is what we call the ability to resist setbacks and indomitable spirit.

Cognition 2: In addition, I also realize that the evaluation in Stem teaching has a series of goal planning and organization in every classroom teaching. For example, the evaluation of students' ability goal, knowledge ability and thinking ability is similar to our classroom teaching goal. Another view is that in Stem teaching evaluation, students' failure should not be regarded as failure, but as a learning experience.

Cognition 3: STEM education should say that its export focuses on students and their evaluation. We should think deeply about the enthusiasm and teaching methods of this kind of education.
