Description
STEM subjects play an increasingly important role in Deaf education. In order to enable Deaf students who communicate primarily through sign language(s) to discover their interests in STEM subjects, our aim is to tailor the understanding of the subject content and make it as accessible as possible. How can Deaf students in STEM subjects best absorb, process and internalise the topics and tasks in the classroom?
Since January 2023, we have set ourselves the task of researching and understanding the use of teaching tools in the European project ‘STEM Methodologies in Sign Languages’ (STEMSiL) which is co-funded by Erasmus+. The partners involved in this project are APES 31 (France), AEQM (Portugal), Gaudem (Spain), CEIPES (Italy), KENG (Greece), Stimmuli (Greece) and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Germany) with diverse expertise and backgrounds.
In the presentation, the first preliminary results of the project will provide novel insights on (a) the development of lesson plans, (b) the co-creation of selected STEM concepts, (c) the co-creation of tasks in mathematics for schoolchildren and (d) views of Deaf STEM experts on STEM education.
