Download or read book STEM the Tide written by David E. Drew and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-05 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proven strategies for reforming STEM education in America’s schools, colleges, and universities. One study after another shows American students ranking behind their international counterparts in the STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math. Businesspeople and cultural critics such as Bill Gates warn that this alarming situation puts the United States at a serious disadvantage in the high-tech global marketplace of the twenty-first century, and President Obama places improvement in these areas at the center of his educational reform. What can be done to reverse this poor performance and to unleash America’s wasted talent? David E. Drew has good news—and the tools America needs to keep competitive. Drawing on both academic literature and his own rich experience, Drew identifies proven strategies for reforming America’s schools, colleges, and universities, and his comprehensive review of STEM education in the United States offers a positive blueprint for the future. These research-based strategies include creative and successful methods for building strong programs in science and mathematics education and show how the achievement gap between majority and minority students can be closed. A crucial measure, he argues, is recruiting, educating, supporting, and respecting America’s teachers. Accessible, engaging, and hard hitting, STEM the Tide is a clarion call to policymakers, administrators, educators, and everyone else concerned about students’ participation in the STEM fields and America’s competitive global position.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on STEM Education written by Carla C. Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Research on STEM Education represents a groundbreaking and comprehensive synthesis of research and presentation of policy within the realm of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. What distinguishes this Handbook from others is the nature of integration of the disciplines that is the founding premise for the work – all chapters in this book speak directly to the integration of STEM, rather than discussion of research within the individual content areas. The Handbook of Research on STEM Education explores the most pressing areas of STEM within an international context. Divided into six sections, the authors cover topics including: the nature of STEM, STEM learning, STEM pedagogy, curriculum and assessment, critical issues in STEM, STEM teacher education, and STEM policy and reform. The Handbook utilizes the lens of equity and access by focusing on STEM literacy, early childhood STEM, learners with disabilities, informal STEM, socio-scientific issues, race-related factors, gender equity, cultural-relevancy, and parental involvement. Additionally, discussion of STEM education policy in a variety of countries is included, as well as a focus on engaging business/industry and teachers in advocacy for STEM education. The Handbook’s 37 chapters provide a deep and meaningful landscape of the implementation of STEM over the past two decades. As such, the findings that are presented within provide the reader with clear directions for future research into effective practice and supports for integrated STEM, which are grounded in the literature to date.

Download or read book The Russia Ukraine War and Its Consequences on the Geopolitics of the World written by Chitadze, Nika and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2023-08-02 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geopolitics is a concept that shapes shifts following the socio-political and economic changes made within or in neighboring states. Usually, the popularity in geopolitics is motivated by victory in war, which binds the nation, revives the national culture, and promotes the spiritual and territorial expansion into neighboring states. However, the defeat in war can be motivating as well, as the defeat catalyzes the creation and dissemination of geo-political theories. In the modern era, further study on the Russia-Ukraine war in relation to geopolitics must be considered. The Russia-Ukraine War and Its Consequences on the Geopolitics of the World analyzes the main geopolitical theories and discusses possible geopolitical, economic, military, security, and information consequences of the Russia-Ukraine war. The book also reviews the attitude of the main geopolitical players in the world toward the war and their foreign policy and national security priorities. Covering key topics such as democracy, international security, and geopolitical interests, this premier reference source is ideal for government officials, policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.
Download or read book Reforming Science Education written by Rodger W. Bybee and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume of the ""Ways of Knowing in Science Series"", Rodger Bybee presents 15 years of his essays on science education, that develop several major themes: the need for the curriculum to take into account the accelerating pace of scientific research and discovery; the increasing irrelevance of the traditional boundaries among the sciences; the significant changes to civilisation brought about by scientific advancement; the growing realisation that the competitive position of any country in today's global economy rests primarily on the production and use of scientific knowledge and technologic products; and the necessity of scientific and technologic literacy for all citizens. As Bybee points out, the American educational community has not yet successfully redefined its goal to conform to new realities, a prerequisite to any meaningful transformation of the science curriculum. The book is suitable for use in graduate courses in science education, undergraduate methods courses, in-service science education teachers' courses, and for use by professors and researchers of science education, curriculum planners and school leaders.

This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There has been an increasing issue in STEM education as many lack the interest and knowledge in STEM disciplines and fields. It may be that exposure to STEM concepts and skills does not begin early enough. Indeed, most programs target older students. Given the high demand for STEM workers, and the projected growth of STEM fields (Washington, D.C., 2011), it is increasingly important to expose students to STEM education beginning as early as elementary school. Beginning in high school may be too late. If students are not exposed to STEM related activities and instruction in their early school years, they may never have the opportunity to gain skills and interest that allow them to be successful later. If teachers are able to expose students to STEM related curriculum, this exposure could potentially have the ability to spark a greater interest for math and science in students while also motivating them to continue to seek STEM-related opportunities. Clearly, part of the problem is in teacher education. Some K-6 programs are not preparing teacher candidates adequately for STEM content or skills, especially in the area of engineering (DiFrancesca, Lee & McIntyre 2014). Thus, while there is a noticeable disconnect between interest in STEM careers and early exposure to STEM education (Drew, 2015). Implementing these disciplines and practices throughout elementary education programs could result in more exposure for K-6 students. This book would seek to collect anecdotal stories of how elementary education programs have altered their content offerings, filed experiences, curriculum and the like to expand their teacher candidates' knowledge and exposure to STEM discplines and fields"--
