Abstract

There has been a grown pressing need of improving students with a variety of required skills related to STEM education This research paper aims to descriptively and critically provide discourse of theoretical and practical STEM education frameworks and their connections to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) experience. Several key models are presented with discussion including Dewey's work, problem-based learning, project-based learning, the STEM translation Model, Caprraor's STEM PBL approaches, Lesseig's Engineering Design Process, and the T- STEM and D-STEM models. Additionally, benefits and challenges of envisioning STEM frameworks and UAE needs are provided through two examples of D-STEM and the state affairs of STEM education study in the UAE context. © © 2021 by the International Institute of Informatics and Systemics.
