Abstract
STEM education has become vital to equip the next-generation knowledge workers for Industry 4.0 world. STEM education refers to a curriculum based on the teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, aiming to prepare students with critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creative thinking (4C) abilities. STEM education and its associated industry market have tremendously grown in the past decade. Developing knowledge management skills and understandings are equally critical in equipping lifelong knowledge workers. The knowledge, skills, attitudes, and abilities to identify, search, analyse, apply and disseminate information and media products are essential. However, knowledge management-related education programs, curricula or frameworks for K-12 education still need to be made available. This article examines the common characteristics of STEM and KM education, investigates the current practice of KM in STEM education in Hong Kong, and proposes a STEM curriculum with KM learning elements for K-12 education.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the International Journal of Knowledge and Systems Science (IJKSS) is to promote the development of knowledge science and systems science as well as the collaboration between the two sciences among academics and professionals from various disciplines around the world. IJKSS establishes knowledge and systems science as a vigorous academic discipline in universities. Targeting academicians, professors, students, practitioners, and field specialists, this journal covers the development of new paradigms in the understanding and modeling of human knowledge process from mathematical, technical, social, psychological, and philosophical frameworks. The International Journal of Knowledge and Systems Science was originally launched by the International Society of Knowledge and Systems Science, which was initiated in 2000 in Japan and founded by Prof. Y. Nakamori, Professor Z. T. Wang and Professor J. Gu in 2003 in Guangzhou. Professor Z. T. Wang was its Founding Editor.
