STEAM education for social transformation | Dr. Bal Chandra Luitel | TEDxKathmanduUniversity

The talk deals with the notion of STEAM education as a multi and interdisciplinary approach to the educational process. In particular, this talk entails an example of a STEAM education research program that brings together students, teachers and other stakeholders in a collaborative framework. Lastly it concludes with a framework of STEAM School. Dr. Bal Chandra Luitel is a professor and transformative education researcher at Kathmandu University School of Education. Prof. Luitel’s expertise lies in employing multi-paradigmatic research designs portraying the problem of culturally decontextualized mathematics and science education. His academic endeavors touch upon developing curricular and pedagogical visions that enable their own students to become critical, reflective, empathic, communicative, and creative learners.
An STEAM Education Expert, Prof. Luitel has been working with a number of Nepali teachers and teacher educators who examine their lived experiences as students, teachers and teacher educators.
He is also a Lead Researcher and Project Coordinator for ‘Rupantaran' in association with NORAD, Norway. His teaching and research have been guided by the ideals of transformative education, a tradition that has manifold connections with the Eastern and Western intellectual and Wisdom traditions. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

It is undoubtly great,but one question strikes my mind in this connection is that how can we incorporate STEAM in national curriculum frame work. How can we incorporate STEAM in our evaluation system? How can we escape our students from solving routine problems not only on maths not also in science, history or literature? The other concern could be how can we prepare multidimensional teachers to cope with third eye opened students of today's world due to easily available technology. Today's students are neither like robot nor obedient to the teacher as we were. Therefore, it is not easy. We need to plan for a long-term starting from curriculum reformation.

Totally agreed!

No. The worst thing you can do is make STEM a nationalized curriculum.
