Bridging the Gaps of “Science/Social Science Education-Technology” With Values-Based Framework Development: Exemplary Transdisciplinary Studies Related to STREAM

Abstract

Technological innovations in digital era has modified the landscape of education to be in line with industrial revolution,but created some psycho-sociological impacts to the society affecting healthy lifestyle. This paper reports on values-based sustainable STREAM education (VabsSTREAM) blended-mode transdisciplinary approaches to learning outcomes in higher education focusing on Science/Social Science education. Mixed-research was implemented involving mixed-mode of data collection/analysis methods. Literature review is made on related definitions, thereafter framework is developed bridging the gaps of ‘Science (Biotech/Health Science), Social Science (Arts/Music/Cultural) Education (& Comparative Studies) and Technology'. Qualitative analysis involving multiple-case analysis with digital output reflecting framework and exemplary cases are reported. Illustration is made on how the design of Structural Model can be developed based on the framework designed for VabsSTREAM. Implications and significance are discussed with suggestions for future studies on knowledge management.
