A Techno-Pedagogical Framework for STEM Education Using Disruptive Innovations

Research in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education has demonstrated a relationship between the use of information and communications technology and a better learning for students. Conventional teaching will not be able to meet the needed criteria for motivating and increasing the number of students in STEM related fields. The purpose of this research is to present an overview of a new learning approach using disruptive innovations such as Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, E-learning, Robotics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) focused on children education based on a literature review. The proposed approach highlights the benefits for teachers and learners in kindergarten and formal primary education. This article proposes a review demonstrating positive results of disruptive innovations, using different technologies, focused on the improvement of STEM education. At the end of the work, a techno-pedagogical framework using disruptive innovations is presented.
