STEM Teacher Preparation and Practice for the 21st Century:
Research-based Insights introduces the reader to a collection of
thoughtful, research-based works by authors that represent current
thinking about the future of science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics or STEM as it known today, as well as STEM education
for a rapidly evolving global society and the preparation of STEM
teachers to meet the educational needs of a changing educational
landscape. Each chapter focuses on STEM teaching and the
preparation of teachers who will enter classrooms to instruct the
next generation of students in STEM. Research in the learning
sciences focuses on the cognitive, epistemological, and
socio-cultural characteristics of scientific and engineering
research communities in their efforts to improve Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. STEM
education is a means to help individuals develop different
strategies in order to solve interdisciplinary problems and gain
skills and knowledge as they are engaged with STEM related
activities through formal and informal learning programs. Research
also suggests that STEM may well stand as the new general education
for the 21st century. In much of the current discourse on teacher
quality and preparation, two essential points for consideration
have emerged: the strength of the relationship between teacher
content knowledge and student achievement, and the specific
representations of knowledge that are most conducive to effective
teaching. Add to these two points one additional: the nature of
transforming a chaotic system of discreet preparation and clinical
experiences into a coherent, aligned and logical system of
continuous and progressive development and support throughout a
teacher's career. These three points apply to STEM teacher
preparation, induction and professional learning as well as to
teacher preparation, induction and professional learning in
general. Importantly, the contributing authors to this book have
brought to the foreground research-based insights concerning STEM
teacher preparation. Each chapter presents clear paths to
understanding and reimagining STEM teaching and the importance of
STEM teacher preparation, acknowledging the value of STEM literacy
and the interdisciplinary nature of STEM teaching.
