Designing K-12 STEM curriculum topics with self-directed learning approach poses challenges to teachers. Learning Design Studio (LDS) (http://lds.cite.hku.hk) has been developed to prioritize teachers’ design attention on Self-Directed Learning (SDL) as the pedagogy of choice, and to facilitate interdisciplinary STEM integration. In this workshop, we will first introduce a few learning design patterns we have identified from good STEM curriculum units designed by teachers in local schools. This will be followed by hands-on activity by participants to apply these patterns in the design of STEM lessons using a SDL approach.
