What is STEM? Preservice elementary teachers’ conceptions of integrated STEM education
Teachers’ conceptions can relate to their teaching practices, but integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education does not have a consistent definition. This study included 627 preservice elementary preservice teachers across 11 different teacher preparation programs to identify common conceptions of integrated STEM education and how these conceptions shifted during science methods coursework. Findings from survey and interview data showed that participants commonly referred to the STEM acronym and surface-level integration across and beyond STEM disciplines. Key experiences that shaped their conceptions and preparedness to teach included planning and implementing STEM lessons and discussing quality integrated STEM instruction.
期刊介绍:
Teaching and Teacher Education is an international journal concerned primarily with teachers, teaching, and/or teacher education situated in an international perspective and context. The journal focuses on early childhood through high school (secondary education), teacher preparation, along with higher education concerning teacher professional development and/or teacher education.
