Organisation profile
The disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, known collectively as STEM, play an important role in today's world. Developing STEM-related literacies, promoting creative and critical thinking and advancing problem solving skills are now important components of school curricula. The Department of STEM Education is committed to providing equitable access to STEM experiences and literacy for all learners.
We build and cultivate knowledge, attitudes and skills in STEM disciplines through socially responsive and innovative research, experiential and inquiry-based teaching and learning, the development of partnerships with schools and industry and through the preparation of teachers who are STEM literate.
We prepare teachers to draw on technology-enhanced learning to support the development of pedagogies in all curriculum subjects, to utilise a range of innovative teaching and learning modalities and to become future leaders in STEM education in their schools.
