Abstract

Primary schools in many countries are faced with the challenge to prepare children for participation in our highly technological society. Pressure is put upon schools to show more young people the way towards careers in science and engineering, for the sake of the economy. This is contested by scholars who fear a loss of humanisitic values when STEM-related subject come to dominate the curriculum. This paper argues that the empirical design cycle from engineering is a rich pedagogical framework for the attainment of learning objectives from STEM, the humanities and 21st century skills.
