STEM Education 2.0: Myths and Truths – What Has K-12 STEM Education Research Taught Us?

Editat de Alpaslan Sahin, Margaret J. Mohr-Schroeder
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 aug 2019
STEM Education 2.0 discusses the most recent research on important selected K-12 STEM topics by synthesizing previous research and offering new research questions. The contributions range from analysis of key STEM issues that have been studied for more than two decades to topics that have more recently became popular, such as maker space and robotics. In each chapter, nationally and internationally known STEM experts review key literature in the field, share findings of their own research with its implications for K-12 STEM education, and finally offer future research areas and questions in the respected area they have been studying. This volume provides diverse and leading voices in the future of STEM education and STEM education research.

Notă biografică

Alpaslan Sahin, Ph.D. (2007), is a Research Scientist at Harmony Public Schools. He has published a book, book chapters, and many articles on STEM education, teachers’ questioning techniques, and informal STEM learning, including A Practice-based Model of STEM Teaching: STEM Students on the Stage (SOS).

Margaret J. Mohr-Schroeder, Ph.D. (2006), is a Professor of STEM Education and Associate Dean in the College of Education at the University of Kentucky. She has a variety of publications and grants related to using informal learning environments to improve opportunity and access to STEM education, including K12 STEM Education: Why Does It Matter and Where Are We Now? (Teachers College Record, 2018).

Recenzii

"This edited collection explores the current state of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, primarily in the US, covering the breadth of STEM education, including the often- overlooked areas of technology and engineering. Most chapters are written as reviews of previous research on key aspects of STEM education (e.g., diversity and inclusion, integrated learning, and project-based curricula) with some original research also included. The contributing authors represent a broad cross section of educational researchers working in this field, bringing a variety of expertise to the volume. Perhaps the greatest strength of the collection is each chapter's references to current literature. However, the book would have benefited from stronger editing to help connect each chapter to the overall theme rather than the somewhat scattershot approach of alternating between reviews and new research. This text's primary audiences are graduate students, researchers, and practitioners, who can use the individual chapters as reference points for situating current and future research projects. Advanced undergraduates wanting an entrée into the research areas mentioned will also benefit from this collection." - R. A. Kolvoord, James Madison University in CHOICE 57:11 (2020).
