Education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) is crucial for taking advantage of the prospects of new
scientific discoveries initiating or promoting technological
changes, and managing opportunities and risks associated with
innovations. This book explores the emerging perspectives and
methodologies of STEM education and its relationship to the
cultural understanding of science and technology in an
international context. The authors provide a unique perspective on
the subject, presenting materials and experiences from non-European
industrialized as well as industrializing countries, including
China, Japan, South Korea, India, Egypt, Brazil and the USA. The
chapters offer a wide scope of interpretations and comparative
reviews of STEM education by including narrative elements about
cultural developments, considering the influence of culture and
social perceptions on technological and social change, and applying
innovative tools of qualitative social research. The book
represents a comprehensive and multidisciplinary review of the
current status and future challenges facing STEM education across
the world, including issues such as globalization,
interdependencies of norms and values, effects on equity and social
justice as well as resilience. Overall the volume provides valuable
insights for a broad and comprehensive international comparison of
STEM philosophies, approaches and experiences.
