The Master of Education (STEM) has been designed in collaboration with theâ¯ STEM Education Research Centre â¯(SERC). SERCâs research-based STEM methodologies have been developed across school sectors to build contemporary pedagogical frameworks that foster improvements in teaching practices, student outcomes, and student engagement.
For example, evidence from SERCâs highly successful early years STEM program shows that children using the program improve their STEM literacy skills at a rate three times higher (x3) than children not in the program. In numeracy, children improve at a rate twice (x2) that of children not in the program. Educators have also benefited from the program, with research showing that their understanding, interest and confidence in teaching STEM content improved.â¯
