Complicating STEAM: A Critical Look at the Arts in the STEAM Agenda
This entry offers a critical perspective of the role of the arts within the popular STEAM agenda. Most loosely defined, STEAM can be understood as incorporating the arts into the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) acronym for the purpose of introducing a focus on art and design into these four subject areas. This entry first questions what the A in the STEAM acronym actually represents. The entry then argues that a focus on any discrete set of disciplines prioritizes some domains of practice, while overlooking others. The entry goes on to encourage a more distributed approach to pedagogical practice that is less about establishing catchy acronyms that privilege some disciplines over others – and more about supporting young people and adults in becoming multimodal learners capable of making connections between and beyond the disciplines.

“深入拆解” 的思考模式
這個思考模式通過讓學生慢慢、細心地觀察物件和系統中的細節，鼓勵他們不止觀察物件的表面特徵，更重要的是了解其內部運作。這個思考模式可以激發學生的好奇心，鼓勵他們勇於提出問題，並且能做更深入的研究。

Field NoteHow Can Understanding What We Value as Educators Shape What We Assess in Our Classrooms?
How Can Understanding What We Value as Educators Shape What We Assess in Our Classrooms?
What do we want our learners to be like when they leave our classrooms at the end of the year? What does authentic learning look like in a maker-centered classroom? Your response to these questions might be an indicator of what type of learning you value as a teacher. Inspired by Carlina Rinaldi and her writing on the relationship between documentation and assessment, we used these questions to identify what types of learning or dispositions teachers value most within their contexts. Think of it as a lens for looking at learning. What we quickly realized is that the values educators bring to their work have implications connected to assessment.

“推進創新” 的思考模式
這個思考模式鼓勵學生從多方面思考，為一件物品/系統思考各種新的可能性。然後再鼓勵學生把新想法融合起來，決定一個有效率的方法去完善，重新設計，和拆解物件/系統。最終，這個思考模式是用於尋找新的設計機會以及實施新的想法的。
