Course Objective

This course is designed to explore theoretical and empirical research on STEM Education which includes research about student learning in STEM context, discipline discourse, teachers, teaching, knowledge for teaching, Professional development within STEM, policies related to teachers and teaching within STEM, and the importance of mathematics implementations in STEM Education. The course also provide knowledge about the impact of culture and identity on STEM education as well as scholarship related to the contrasting paradigms and methodological approaches upon which this literature is based. The course is intended to help students: become aware of the importance of mathematics education in the field of research in STEM disciplines; develop critical perspectives and questions on contrasting paradigms; and raise questions about the implications of mathematics for STEM Education, policy and practice, and teacher education/professional development.
