The linkfigure shows the concept of planetary education that integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics with the areas of social sciences, humanities, and arts fostering the advancement of society solving the world challenges while taking care of the place we live.

The impact is the transformation of the interaction of students, faculty, university administrators, and stakeholders. Prepare students in their undergraduate program and their future professional practice. Develop faculty to reflect on their teaching practices and their academic work. Impact community in terms of their conception of STEM and science capital.

The objective of SOI-STEM is to foster a socially oriented interdisciplinary vision in STEM education to meet the challenges of the 21st century through interdisciplinary education that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion by:

  • Transforming the interaction of students, faculty, university administrators, and stakeholders;
  • Preparing students in their undergraduate program to face increasingly difficult challenges in a dynamic society and their future professional practice;
  • Developing faculty to reflect upon their teaching practices and academic work;
  • Impacting the community in terms of their conception of STEM and capital science, and
  • Contributing to the progress of science through scientific products

Our vision is to become the leading research group in the world on interdisciplinary STEM education that focuses on UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals as reference to create solutions to the problems and challenges of society in the 21st century.

Educación STEM para enfrentar los desafíos del siglo XXI

Method

The IRG group fosters a socially oriented interdisciplinary vision in STEM education to meet the challenges of the 21st century through interdisciplinary education that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion.

From the four specific objectives and questions, the IRG group can define the four main objectives in which we seek to contribute: (1) transform the interaction of students, faculty, university administrators, and stakeholders; (2) prepare students in their undergraduate program to face increasingly difficult challenges in a dynamic society and their future professional practice; (3) develop faculty to reflect upon their teaching practices and academic work; and (4) impact the community in terms of their conception of STEM and capital science. The linkfigure shows the proposed framework and mixed research methods focused on developing these four constructs. Data collection by quantitative and qualitative methods will be carried out in parallel.
