STEM education and active methodologies: a systematic review.

Abstract

The emergence of STEM education in the educational landscape along with the inclusion of technology in society demands a transformation in teaching strategies. The objective of this work is to identify and analyze educational implementations with a STEM focus that use active methodologies in their development. To perform the systematic review, the Prism Statement was used to select 13 documents. The results show that there are three active methodologies in their work: PBL (Project Based Learning), Gamification and Inquiry. It is concluded that teachers are a key factor in the implementation of active methodologies, which is why they require support and solid training in these topics.
