STEM Education in Primary Classrooms: Unravelling Contemporary Approaches in Australia and New Zealand
Editat de Angela Fitzgerald, Carole Haeusler, Linda Pfeifferen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2020
In countering this narrow approach, STEM Education in Primary Classrooms offers a platform for research that innovates, excites and challenges the status quo. It provides educators with innovative and up-to-date research into how to meaningfully and authentically embed STEM into existing classroom practices. It incorporates accurate explanations of STEM as an integrated approach to solving real-world problems, including social issues, along with case studies and stories to bring practice to life in evidence-informed ways.
This book showcases the impact of a broader approach to STEM in the primary classroom through Australian-based and New Zealand-based research that will challenge current teaching practices. Thus, this book will be of interest to pre- and in-service primary school teachers, along with researchers and postgraduate students in the STEM education field.

Recenzii
Congratulations to the authors and editors for creating an accessible and research-informed account of why we must and how we can implement an integrated approach to STEM education for primary school students. The various examples and case studies richly illustrate how we can embed interdisciplinary problem-solving tasks using authentic contexts and inquiry pedagogies into the curriculum and develop the capabilities required for living and working in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Emeritus Professor Mark Hackling, Edith Cowan University
What does the future hold? Whatever direction it takes, it is a sure bet that science, technology, engineering and mathematics will have a critical role. Citizens will have to decide what is acceptable, useful and beneficial and what is not. STEM education is the key to wise choices and starting early to prepare all Australians and New Zealanders with capacity to make those choices is critical. This is a great book that has deep analytical insights from practitioners and researchers and shows us the way. Let’s go.
Emeritus Professor Ian Chubb, Former Chief Scientist of Australia, AC FAA FTSE
This book is distinctive in highlighting how science education can be a generative starting point for STEM education in primary school settings. The chapters offer rich examples of this through a focus on pedagogy, partnerships, professional development and possibilities. I strongly recommend the book to teachers and researchers – they will find much to pique their interest and support their thinking.

Descriere
This book will shift thinking about what STEM education is and how it can be enacted in primary school classroom. Positioned in the Australian and New Zealand context, it draws on stories and anecdotes to bring quality STEM education to the fore and connect with the broader theme of innovation.
