Abstract

This study conducted a systematic quantitative literature review to examine the characteristics of communication training programs for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) professionals and their overall impacts related to improving participants’ oral communication skills. Sixteen studies were identified and included in the analysis. Results demonstrate an overall positive effect of communication training programs on the oral communication skills of STEM professionals and highlight the need for integrating theoretical frameworks, using multiple methodological approaches, and incorporating validated measures into the evaluation of training programs. These findings provide meaningful insights for future research and practice in the training and development subfield of STEM communication.
