IEEE EDUCON2020<\/a> conference was the eleventh in a series of conferences that rotate among central locations in IEEE Region 8 (Europe, Middle East and North Africa). This year, the conference focused on \u00abEngineering Education for the Future in a Multicultural and Smart World\u00bb and took place online, due to the pandemic. EDUCON is the flagship conference of the IEEE Education Society.<\/p>\nThe paper<\/strong> summarized preliminary results regarding the challenges and professional development needs of STEM Educators based on a survey that was conducted using an online questionnaire. The data was collected across 19 different cities\/regions of Greece, including remote islands and included 59 respondents (26 women), who at the time of the study had implemented STE(A)M-related courses through formal and non-formal education in preschool, primary and secondary education.<\/p>\nThe preliminary results show that educators need support with appropriate equipment, infrastructure and resources alongside with a reform of the education system<\/strong> in order to support STE(A)M education. In addition, professional development of educators is considered necessary, however, there is a need to understand in-depth the skills and competences that a STE(A)M educator should possess.<\/p>\nThe presentation led to a fruitful exchange of ideas during the discussion that followed, also causing strong interest of the participants for the activities and future actions related to STEAMonEdu project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
