Abstract

With an emphasis on primary education, this paper investigates the integration of STEM education with inquiry-based learning through Lesson Study. It looks at how CLIL approaches are used, particularly soft CLIL and hard CLIL. The paper illustrates the benefits of IBL and STEM through case studies and data analysis, showing gains for educators and learners alike.

 

Key words: inquiry-based learning, STEM education, interdisciplinary collaboration, CLIL, primary school
