Abstract
More and more countries have regarded that STEM education is one of the best pathways to develop future citizens optimally equipped for the needs of future industries. Students can develop 21st century skills such as communication, collaboration, design thinking, and innovation through learning STEM-related subjects. However, few studies focus on combining STEM and social care education to enhance students’ empathy and STEM competencies. The present work aimed to design a socialscientific STEM curriculum based on students’ abilities and backgrounds. Apart from that, it probed into the students’ changes in the areas of empathy, self-efficacy, and interest after learning the curriculum via a quantitative survey. The results showed that the students made positive changes in the areas concerned.
