BioSTEM: A New Approach to Meaningful Learning from Biosignals in High School Students

This study explores the challenges and strategies for enhancing the implementation of biosignal workshops within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) practices framework. The complexity of applying educational methodologies that use tangible resources to explain technological trends is acknowledged. However, effective models and practices that contribute to the educational process and the design of digital resources are identified. Despite the advantages of properly implementing STEM practices, this knowledge is not widely mastered. The current research proposes a STEM-based methodological approach for learning biosignals, promoting practices that can guide future research tailored to emerging professional needs and preferences. Furthermore, the creation of workshops integrating STEM facilitates synchronization with reusable resources and assesses the impact through the analysis of case studies with interactive prototypes. The results suggest significant potential for effective implementation. The importance of developing tools and workshops that promote STEM development and strengthen its impact through co-evaluation and co-design is highlighted. Finally, the need for guidelines that bridge the digital literacy gap and foster a culture of research and continuous learning is emphasized, advocating for more research addressing the holistic needs of the learning experience, digital competencies, platform design, and the incorporation of new pedagogical strategies.
