A Logic-Based Approach of Integrating STEM Subjects

EasyChair Preprint 15542

Abstract

Integrating STEM subjects including computing and artificial intelligence is considered a challenging and yet necessary task for K-12 education. We proposed a logic based approach to integrating the teaching and learning of STEM subjects in a seamless and coherent manner. The logic based approach has proven to be effective when we develop integrated curriculum in the context of science at middle school level (called LPK12), data science at high school level (called LogicDS), and chemistry at college level (called iChemistry). Preliminary experiments on LPK12 and LogicDS has shown promising results on students' learning. In this symposia, we will report the logic based approach, an example data science curriculum based on this approach, a study of the impact of LPK12 on students’ learning and the development and validation of an assessment for logic based abstraction.
