Abstract

This study aimed to analyze articles published in the Web of Science database from 2012 to 2021 to examine the educational goals and instructional designs for STEM education. We selected articles based on the following criteria: (a) empirical research; (b) incorporating instructional design and strategies into STEM teaching; (c) including intervention; (d) focusing on K-12 education and on assessment of learning outcomes; and (e) excluding higher education and STEAM education. Based on the criteria, 229 articles were selected for coding educational goals and instructional designs for STEM education. The aspects of STEM educational goals were coded including engagement and career choice, STEM literacy, and twenty-first century competencies. The categories of instructional designs for STEM education were examined including design-based learning, inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, and problem-based learning. The results showed that engagement and career choices and STEM literacy were mainly emphasized in STEM education. Design-based learning was adopted more than inquiry-based, project-based, or problem-based learning, and this instructional design was mainly used to achieve STEM literacy. It is suggested that studies on twenty-first century competencies may require more research efforts in future STEM education research.

探索 K-12 STEM 教育中的教学设计：系统文献综述

本研究旨在分析 2012 年至 2021 年期间发表在 Web of Science 数据库中的文章，以研究 STEM 教育的教育目标和教学设计。我们根据以下标准选择文章：(a) 实证研究；(b) 将教学设计和策略纳入 STEM 教学；(c) 包括干预措施；(d) 关注 K-12 教育和学习成果评估；(e) 不包括高等教育和 STEAM 教育。根据这些标准，选出了 229 篇文章对 STEM 教育的教育目标和教学设计进行编码。对 STEM 教育目标的各个方面进行了编码，包括参与和职业选择、STEM 素养和 21 世纪能力。研究了 STEM 教育教学设计的类别，包括基于设计的学习、基于探究的学习、基于项目的学习和基于问题的学习。结果表明，STEM 教育主要强调参与、职业选择和 STEM 素养。基于设计的学习比基于探究的学习、基于项目的学习和基于问题的学习被更多地采用，这种教学设计主要用于实现 STEM 素养。建议在未来的 STEM 教育研究中，对 21 世纪能力的研究可能需要更多的研究努力。
