The curriculum resource modules are intended for teachers interested in integrated STEM teaching and learning approaches that engage students in collaborative learning to solve authentic, real world problems.
This module acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have worked scientifically for millennia and continue to contribute to contemporary science. It provides opportunities for all students to engage in respect and recognition of the world's oldest continuous living cultures. Students will understand that identities and cultures have been, and still are, a source of strength and resilience for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples against the historic and contemporary impacts of colonisation.
A STEM learning module should encourage learning that is student-led and teacher-facilitated, and have an open-ended problem-solving approach. Problem solving involves an intellectual struggle that provides opportunities for higher-order thinking, reasoning and creativity.
