Proposal for STEAM workshop based on sound and electromagnetism

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design a STEAM workshop where students can learn about sound and electromagnetism, and to investigate the learning effects of this workshop for high school students and above. Specifically, in the process of making a digital piano, students learn about the nature of sound and the role of the electronic components by approaching it from the perspective of physics. The evaluation method adopted a concept map, which is used as an index to quantitatively evaluate the promotion of cross-disciplinary learning. In addition, in accordance with Bloom's taxonomy of educational goals, we prepared questions on the cognitive and affective domains, and conducted a preliminary practice for university students in March. As a result, in the transformation of the concept map, some concepts related to the content of the practice were added after the practice, and some concepts that were independent before the practice were newly linked together. In the survey in the cognitive domain, the percentage of correct answers for knowledge and understanding was high, but the percentage of correct answers for application was low. In the survey of the affective domain, there were many positive opinions.
