Abstract

STEM education employs a variety of computer-based methods to improve motivation, personalization, and the quality of learning and instruction in the STEM disciplines. However, STEM educators and researchers often lack the knowledge and skills to integrate Internet of Things (IoT) and emerging personal physiological devices (PPDs) to enhance STEM education research and practice. The number of smartwatches, bands, and other PPDs has been expanding but research has so far failed to keep pace with the application of these technologies in education. The concept of STEM (the academic and professional disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), adopted by Ukraine for 2020-2027, highlights the necessity to develop such efforts in Ukraine. The use of PPDs in STEM education research and practice may contribute to the introduction of STEM practices to students in Ukraine. To advance our understanding of integrating PPDs in STEM education, we have developed 13 new methods that facilitate the use of PPDs in STEM courses and educational research. We used a variety of inexpensive and widely used devices to test our proposed methods. Our team was probably the first one to apply the process mapping approach of “As Is – To Be” in educational research using the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) method to evaluate changes in educational processes before and after using PPDs in Biology classes from both pedagogical and technological points of view.
