Qualify STEM Teachers * Egyptian E-Learning University Introduction - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

EELU* Innovative Learning Model to Qualify STEM Teachers

* Egyptian E-Learning University

Introduction

• In September 2005, the Ministry of Higher

Education prepared a preliminary study for starting the project of the Egyptian E- Learning University (EELU).

• In November 2006, an action plan was

prepared for the University establishment.

• In June 2007, The Cabinet approved the

establishment of the Egyptian E-Learning University.

• A presidential decree was issued in August

16, 2008 No.233 to Establish the Egyptian E- Learning University to be the first ever qualified e-learning university based on best practices of the ICT and education technology in teaching and learning.

International Projects @ EELU

• E-Lab Project

– Developing Virtual and Simulation labs for Engineering Students in the fields of Mechanical and Electric Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Physics.

• JMSE Project

– To develop and implement A Joint Masters Degree in Software Engineering with 10 partner universities from Egypt, Palestine, and the EU.

• ADIP Project

– To develop an approach to innovative teaching methods for lifelong learning in Egypt and Lebanon coached by EU partner universities and institutions

International Projects @ EELU

• SP EDU Project

– The project aims at developing a new line of schoolteachers, who are academically and practically competent to address children with special-needs in an inclusion program.

• eSTEM

– The project aims at developing a new generation of STEM teachers in Egypt, capable of providing adequate and innovative teaching in Science, Technology, Math and Engineering-based subjects embracing STEM philosophy and are capable to bridge the gap between current school education methodologies and those needed for future pre- university school evolution.

So, What is STEM Education?!

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied

• approach. Rather than teach the four

disciplines as separate and discrete subjects, STEM integrates them into a cohesive learning paradigm based

• n real-world

Why is it important?!

• Education in its larger

definition is one of the most important ingredient in the sustainable and healthy growth of any community. Science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) education on the other hand is the key ingredient in the economic and technological growth for nations seeking excellence and leadership

eSTEM Project

International Diploma for School Teachers in STEM Education The project aims at developing a new generation

• f qualified STEM teachers who are able to

develop Problem-solving, Innovation, Invention, Self-reliance, Logical thinking skills in students, and qualifying them to pursue STEM-based higher education and jobs. Those teachers will be able to work in STEM schools in Egypt and Arab countries as well as working with STEM methodology and resources in regular public and private schools.
