The research paper will evaluate the importance of teaching the four disciplines of STEM merged to promote interdisciplinary entities for students to be able to work cooperatively together, whilst collaborating and extending their knowledge and understanding of the various topics. Some schools use these subject disciplines independently in comparison to allowing teachers to use them as one multidisciplinary entity.
The importance of using the four disciplines together is underpinned in this research paper. Students need to realise their educational potential to grow and achieve the results they deserve. Through constant support from teachers guiding them along their educational journey, they will be able to reap the rewards and results. Students' achievement will improve drastically with the help and support of the staff at the International School in Thailand. Allowing them opportunities to share their opinions, and ideas, be creative and become innovators through the implementation of technology.

- The four disciplines of STEM
- Introduction
- Previous research conducted exploring the four disciplines together to promote STEM
- Understanding how stems work and how it promotes the following as outlined by Morrison (2006):
- Become problem solvers and able to make decisions using their knowledge and understanding of that particular topic
- Are true innovators creating new material available to share with everyone
- Become inventors who create new products which they share their designs and ideas with the areas of the world
- Are completely self-reliant who set their own agendas etc.
- Are highly logical thinkers, who can comprehend what they want exactly to achieve overall
- They are mostly technological literate and advanced in their skillset and able to use a variety of platforms of applications and programs, and
- Can implement STEM and represent their culture, and history to their education (Morrison, 2009, pp. 2-3).
- Understanding their educational needs and supporting them further is imperative for teaching and running these courses within the schools.
