• Abstract: This paper examines the integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) into education, emphasizing the inclusion of the Arts to foster creativity alongside traditional STEM skills. STEAM encourages multidisciplinary, student-centered approaches like project-based and inquiry-based learning, promoting real-world problem-solving. However, significant challenges arise in implementing STEAM, particularly for teachers who often lack interdisciplinary training and face rigid school structures. Assessing STEAM outcomes also remains complex. The paper highlights the need for reforms in teacher education to support interdisciplinary teaching, along with addressing "disciplinary egocentrism" in higher education. Despite these challenges, STEAM has shown promise in enhancing student engagement, creativity, and critical thinking. To unlock its full potential, systemic changes in curriculum design, educational practices, and teacher training are essential.

• Interactive Knowledge Distillation [79.12866404907506]
  We propose an InterActive Knowledge Distillation scheme to leverage the interactive teaching strategy for efficient knowledge distillation. In the distillation process, the interaction between teacher and student networks is implemented by a swapping-in operation. Experiments with typical settings of teacher-student networks demonstrate that the student networks trained by our IAKD achieve better performance than those trained by conventional knowledge distillation methods.

  Policy distillation, which transfers a teacher policy to a student policy, has achieved great success in challenging tasks of deep reinforcement learning. In this work, we introduce dual policy distillation(DPD), a student-student framework in which two learners operate on the same environment to explore different perspectives of the environment. The key challenge in developing this dual learning framework is to identify the beneficial knowledge from the peer learner for contemporary learning-based reinforcement learning algorithms.
