Abstract:

Radio has been with us since the 19th century and it maintains the ability to capture your unconscious attention, transmit and disseminate innovative ideas. In the 21st century it has been observed that although broadcasting radio continues to have the same effect on society, it is not always channeled in the right direction to use its fullest potential. Radio is one of the inventions that has been constant and now is when European Young People will be motivated to choose Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) as the topic of their daily conversations. The lack of exhaustive structured literature analysis on radio broadcasting in STEM education is now motivated by the golds of the STIMEY Project.  STIMEY  (Science, Technology, Innovation, Mathematics, Engineering for the Young) is a multi-level educational environment that aims to make STEM education more attractive to young people from age 10 to 18 years old by bring science and society together. This paper presents the results of a structured literature analysis on the use of broadcasting in STEM education. Our findings describe the broadcasting from multiple aspects like: STEM Radio as a supportive element, a stand alone instrument, it's motivating and stimulating factors in making STEM friendly and accessible. Programming style, length and broadcasting hour with respect to factors such as emotional, engaging and belonging. We conclude this study with a discussion of the directions for further and future research for the design of STIMEY 24 hour STEM Broadcasting Digital Radio.
