The Age of STEM: Educational policy and practice across the world in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
About this ebook
The Age of STEM is a state of the art survey of the global trends and major country initiatives in STEM. It gives an international overview of issues such as:
- STEM strategy and coordination
- curricula, teaching and assessment
- women in STEM
- indigenous students
- research training
- STEM in the graduate labour markets
- STEM breadth and STEM depth
The individual chapters give comparative international analysis as well as a global overview, particularly focusing on the growing number of policies and practices in mobilising and developing talent in the STEM fields. The book will be of particular interest to anyone involved in educational policy, those in education management and leaders in both schooling and tertiary education. It will have a wider resonance among practitioners in the STEM disciplines, particularly at university level, and for those interested in contemporary public policy.
