Across the world STEM (learning and work in Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics) has taken central importance in
education and the economy in a way that few other disciplines have.
STEM competence has become seen as key to higher productivity,
technological adaptation and research-based innovation. No area of
educational provision has a greater current importance than the
STEM disciplines yet there is a surprising dearth of comprehensive
and world-wide information about STEM policy, participation,
programs and practice. "
The Age of STEM" is a state of the art survey of the global
trends and major country initiatives in STEM. It gives an
international overview of issues such as:
- STEM strategy and coordination
- curricula, teaching and assessment
- women in STEM
- indigenous students
- research training
- STEM in the graduate labour markets
- STEM breadth and STEM depth
The individual chapters give comparative international analysis
as well as a global overview, particularly focusing on the growing
number of policies and practices in mobilising and developing
talent in the STEM fields. The book will be of particular interest
to anyone involved in educational policy, those in education
management and leaders in both schooling and tertiary education. It
will have a wider resonance among practitioners in the STEM
disciplines, particularly at university level, and for those
interested in contemporary public policy.
