National standards encourage science teachers to help "increase
student economic productivity through the use of the knowledge,
understandings, and skills of the scientifically literate person in
their careers." Exemplary Science for Building Interest in STEM
Careers provides the examples and inspiration to accelerate the
trend toward steering students to the fields of science,
technology, engineering, and math. This book explores 16 examples
of ideas and experiences representing a large number of career
areas; they include scientists, engineers, inventors, and education
reformers. Many of the authors have enlisted the help of community
members and business and industry representatives, emphasising the
more current view of what science is and the importance of
collaborative learning. Science is the act of humans trying to make
sense of objects and events found in the natural world. It is
exciting to engage students in resolving problems and issues using
their own ideas. If science is personally experienced, it will
attract many more to STEM careers! When teachers change their
teaching, student interest increases-and more students aspire to
science-related careers as well. Changes in teaching must occur and
typical courses must change to focus more on student efforts with
projects, activities, and problem-solving. This is the best plan
for getting more students interested in pursuing STEM careers after
high school.
