In China, the Guiding Opinions of the 13th Five-Year Plan issued by the Ministry of Education on 20 15 clearly put forward "exploring" new education modes such as STEAM education and maker education. "STEAM" education advocates children's ability to pay attention to practice, let children know how to apply what they have learned to real life to solve problems, improve their practical ability and cultivate children in practice.
"STEAM" education is different from China's traditional educational concept. In today's era of artificial intelligence and big data, China's traditional educational concept has not adapted to social development. Therefore, with the changes of the times and knowledge system, parents' educational methods should also change accordingly. "STEAM" education conforms to the era of contemporary artificial intelligence. Children who have received "STEAM" education since childhood will have more advantages than their peers in their future growth, be more flexible in dealing with problems and be more adaptable to social development.
Parents should know that academic performance is not a standard to measure children's Excellence. Children with excellent grades but poor hands-on ability will eventually accomplish nothing. Parents should learn to use the "STEAM" educational method scientifically, and cultivate their children's ability to solve practical problems for the purpose of "future functionality", instead of just paying attention to their scores on the test paper. Parents who know how to educate their children with "steam" won at the starting line.
