This work describes the application of management theories in STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education
systems. Two chapters examine STEM education on the K-12 national
level and one chapter focuses on the higher education institutional
level. All chapters are based on comprehensive research. Thus, it
will appeal to teachers, school principals, researchers, graduate
students, government policymakers, and all practitioners who care
about STEM education in schools, academia and government. In each
chapter, SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats)
analysis is used as a managerial strategic tool for the examination
of factors that focus either on internal circumstances (strengths
and weaknesses), or external ones (opportunities and threats).
This work illustrates how risk management can be applied to
educational systems in general, and STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics) education in particular. The rationale
for this approach stems from the increased awareness of the
importance and contribution of STEM education to nations' economic
growth and development. The coverage begins with the challenges of
STEM education systems, and concludes with a thorough strategic
risk response plan. The text outlines a risk-management
plan/program for STEM education in Israel, based on the conceptions
of five stakeholders groups: educators, academics, industry
professionals, military and philanthropic actors. All of whom have
expressed interest in promoting STEM education in the high
school/secondary education system. The result, ultimately, presents
an impressive, meaningful, and practical understanding of the
difficulties and challenges, together with applicable modes of
action, and a new horizon towards which STEM Education should
march.
