Using STEM Learning Concepts with IoT Technology on the Road of Education for Sustainability: A Short Literature Review

In this literature review we aim to study the integration of sustainability and environmental education into the STEM education. The study’s key ideas center on STEM education with a focus on environmental and sustainability issues (EE). This literature review starts with a summary of the knowledge base of the factors that influence the quality of STEM Education and of the ways that recent studies designed STEM projects to address development issues in teaching. Moreover, we present the factors that affect education for sustainability, with focus on Environmental Education, and recent published studies that explore and assess the ESD and STEM education. Empirical studies that focuses in the design and enhancement of teaching and learning in order to connect knowledge achievement competences and important pedagogical approaches in STEM domains through ESD are also examined. Furthermore, this study explores and identifies major trends of IoT technology integration, its relevant applications and various examples that have already been suggested and how to equip students and teachers with knowledge skills essential for their future.
