Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education advocates the use of disciplinary integration in theoretical teaching, which can effectively guide adolescents to actively adapt to the rapidly developing social environment and receive continuous updating of disciplinary expertise. Moreover, introducing STEM education into adolescent learning can fully highlight the nurturing value of disciplines and promote the development of adolescent core qualities. This paper takes STEM education as an example, analyzes the primary components of adolescents' learning drive, and explores the path to enhance adolescents' learning drive.
