We do ourselves a disservice by thinking about subjects as silos. What is unique to each subject is less interesting than what each has in common, especially in regard to the particular practices and mindsets of the people in each discipline.
Some people seem to get this, see how STEM morphed into STEAM (adding arts), yet it is rarely translated into practice in schools.
- timthorn 10y agoI don't underplay the importance of the arts, but I believe that the STEAM movement confuses the message - STEAM is effectively (education - humanities). The point of STEM as a grouping is to create a classifier for the numerate disciplines; a subject grouping that, at least amongst primary teachers in the round, is not strong.
