Abstract

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education is a field in which schools invest considerable resources and time to bring innovative solutions within their curricula. At the same time, Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging technology in the Immersive Learning Landscape. The EU-funded Erasmus + project Enlivened Laboratories in STEM (EL-STEM) aims to introduce a new approach, through the provision of integrated inquiry-based STEM learning approaches supported by Augmented Reality in school classrooms and laboratories. A multifaceted Teacher Professional Development (TPD) program has been designed within EL-STEM to familiarize teachers with the potential of AR technology for enhancing the teaching and learning processes in secondary STEM education. Teachers can, therefore, employ this technology, to further encourage student’s engagement and strengthen their twenty-first-century skills. This chapter highlights the necessity of designing and implementing such a TPD program, provides an overview of the pedagogical framework underlying the current state of the suggested EL-STEM TPD program and outlines its content and structure.
