Integrated Approaches to STEM Education

An International Perspective
Herausgegeben:Anderson, Judy; Li, Yeping

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a platform for international scholars to share evidence for effective practices in integrated STEM education and contributes to the theoretical and practical knowledge gained from the diversity of approaches.

Many publications on STEM education focus on one or two of the separate STEM disciplines without considering the potential for delivering STEM curriculum as an integrated approach.This publication analyzes the efficacy of an integrated STEM curriculum and instruction, providing evidence to examine and support various integrations. The volume focuses on the problems seen by academics working in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and provides valuable, high quality research outcomes and a set of valued practices which have demonstrated their use and viability to improve the quality of integrated STEM education.

Autorenporträt

Dr Judy Anderson is an Associate Professor in Mathematics Education at the Sydney School of Education and Social Work, the University of Sydney, Australia with research interests in mathematics education, motivation and engagement, and STEM professional learning. At the University of Sydney, she has held the position of Director of the STEM Teacher Enrichment Academy for the past six years. This professional development program for primary and secondary school teachers has reached nearly 1250 teachers in more than 220 schools and is supported by a team of 12 academic staff, a postdoctoral research fellow and a project manager. Judy has published widely with more 70 publications since 2009 in international, and national journals and conference proceedings. She is currently the Associate Editor of Curriculum Perspectives, an international Springer journal, and is a member of the editorial board of the Springer publication Mathematics Teacher Education and Development. She is currently the Secretary of the International Group of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (IGPME). Dr. Yeping Li is a Full Professor at the Department of Teaching, Learning, and Culture at Texas A&M University, USA. His research interests include mathematics education, STEM education, and teacher education. He is the founding editor-in-chief of the International Journal of STEM Education and Journal for STEM Education Research, both published by Springer, and is also the editor of several monograph series including, Advances in STEM Education also published by Springer. In addition to publishing over 15 books and special journal issues in recent years, he has published more than 100 articles in topic areas that he is interested in. He has also organized and chaired many group sessions at various national and international professional conferences, such as International Congress on Mathematical Education -10 (ICME-10) (2004), ICME-11 (2008), ICME-12 (2012), and American Educational Research Association (AERA). He received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Studies in Education from the University of Pittsburgh, USA.
