Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and analyze results of the research carried out at Estonian Centre for Engineering Pedagogy at Tallinn University of Technology (TUT). Micro-lessons of 260 technical teachers teaching at vocational schools, gymnasiums and universities have been analyzed with special matrix for lesson analysis. The research has been carried out in 4 groups: (1) STEM teaching at vocational schools, (2) STEM teaching at gymnasiums (high schools), (3) STEM teaching at universities (including colleges and universities of applied higher education), and (4) STEM continuing education in engineering companies. Most common teaching models, strategies and methods enabling deep understanding and interactive learning used in STEM teaching by technical teachers who have graduated from TUT either on master level or in continuing education have been determined and analyzed in the present article.
