School Sharing (1): Promoting Self-Directed Learning in STEAM Education through Artificial Intelligence (POE)

St Francis' Canossian College shared that, with support from the IN-STEAM program, they implemented a self-directed STEAM learning project in its Secondary 1 IT classes. Students focused on designing and creating products that enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities. Using the design thinking process as a Disciplinary Practice and Self-directed learning as a Pedagogical Approach, AI learning elements were integrated. This STEAM curriculum enhanced students' creativity, self-directed learning abilities, and collaboration skills, leading to awards in events organized by the CITE of the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Education.
