The Pedagogical Model of Philippine STEAM Education: Inputs towards the Reengineering of Philippine STEAM Learning Ecosystem

The education sector has to cope with the shifting contour of the global economic landscape. Because industries are highly technology-driven, and humans are at the brink of being replaced by machines, new set of skills are required from the human workforce. Higher education institutions (HEIs) need to nurture graduates who demonstrate skills that machines are not capable of. Because most innovations emerge from Science, Technology, Engineering, Agri-Fisheries, and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines, STEAM education needs to be reinvented. This policy brief proposes a framework to reengineer the Philippine STEAM learning ecosystem, inspired by the recently developed Philippine Pedagogical Model of STEAM Education.
