Drama-Based Activities for STEM Education: Encouraging Scientific Aspirations and Debunking Stereotypes in Secondary School Students in Spain and the UK

Abstract: This study presents findings from testing an innovative student-centred drama-based teaching methodology for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) disciplines for secondary school students. The method, based on performances, was tested in two case studies, Spain and the UK, on a sample of 2,089 students. These performances have been shown to be an effective way of generating a two-way dialogue between students and researchers, and prompting student reflections about researchers as role models, gend… Show more

“…Considering the experience of Great Britain, the authors S. Baselga, O. Garrido, and H. Buron drew attention to the period devoted to STEM education, namely from kindergarten to the end of school. STEM education is designed as a set of STEM disciplines that are mastered taking into account interdisciplinary approaches (Baselga et al, 2020). In the course of its implementation, considerable attention is paid to the relationship between schools and research universities.…”

“…This requires not only investment from the state budget but also from the private sector. The experience of teaching STEM in the UK is not to separate STEM teaching from the mainstream curriculum, but to integrate STEM experiences into the teaching program and textbooks (Villanueva Baselga et al, 2022). The concept of teaching STEM in the UK is an approach and a direction, not a subject.…”

“…Through representative and role-playing games, the goal is not only to play and entertain, but also to build standards for developing speaking abilities as well as skills such as sketching, singing, and acting. Drama can help students develop their perceptions of understanding concepts and liking the values of the environments in which they live, as well as contribute to the achievement of educational goals such as physical health, scientific and mental abilities development, and the development of values and the preparation of individuals to be active members of their communities (Villanueva Baselga et al, 2022).…”
