SEADSTEM

SEADSTEM - The Southeast Asian Digital STEM Platform adheres to a philosophy grounded first and foremost in the solution of problems from a multi-faceted and inter-disciplinary perspective to prepare young people for the challenges of the 21st century.

21st Century Skills

21st Century Skills is the term for an international concept that encompasses skills and learning dispositions considered necessary by educators, business leaders, academics, and government agencies for success in a rapidly changing digital society. Many of these skills are linked to analytical thinking, complex problem solving, and teamwork. These skills differ from traditional academic skills in that they are not primarily based on knowledge acquisition, but also include working with others, analyzing, presenting, and sharing learned knowledge.

STEM-enabled students are able to identify, apply, and integrate different concepts, understand complex problems, and develop innovative solutions to solve these problems.

An integral part of the 21st Century Skills concept is the notion of STEM as an interdisciplinary educational approach. It does not just cater to the science, technology, engineering, or math aspects of a student’s education. A well-thought out STEM-based approach to education includes the integration of all subject matter that may be brought to bear on problems, such as the environmental, social, regulatory, political, and economic aspects.

ASEAN

ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) places a special focus on the development of 21st Century Skills in the region, which are mentioned by many of the local education authorities as a strategic goal in the national education policy blueprint. Despite different educational structures, member states share a common vision: to strengthen the competitiveness of member countries through education. The integrative STEM approach plays a key role in this, because it teaches exactly those skills that are crucial for 21st Century Skills: critical thinking, communication, teamwork and creativity.
