  • © 2022 Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions. All rights reserved.In 2021, a group of 16 experts in STEM education, social sciences, humanities, and arts started an interdisciplinary collaboration to conduct research in education. The main objective of the group is to foster a socially-oriented interdisciplinary vision in STEM education to meet the challenges of the 21st century through interdisciplinary education that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion. That is how SOI-STEM (Socially-Oriented Interdisciplinary STEM) Education Research Group was born. The work of this group focuses on 5 main research lines: students' active participation in the learning process, paradigm shifts in education, urban science, data science in education, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The work of this group aims to have a positive impact on our community by addressing social and relevant challenges through education for the development and well-being of our society.
