This course explores various theoretical models of transdisciplinarity and their applications to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Students will have the opportunity to delve into teaching, learning, and curriculum theories that are relevant to STEM in the K-12 as well as the postsecondary context. Moreover, students will investigate the integration of STEM elements with one another and with other disciplines, such as social studies, languages, and the arts. Additionally, students will investigate the connections between STEM education and other educational issues and approaches, including Indigenous education, sustainability, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
