This paper describes research into two pedagogical approaches to foster transdisciplinarity in a graduate engineering course that involves education and computer science. Leveraging the Communities of Practice...

This study investigates the impact of AI-assisted pair programming on undergraduate students’ intrinsic motivation, programming anxiety, and performance, relative to both human–human pair programming and indiv...

Students' beliefs about their ability to grow in STEM disciplines have been linked to better course outcomes. However, such mindset beliefs are subject to the environmental cues projected by the instructor in ...

Teacher turnover is a dire and chronic problem for many education systems across the globe. According to UNESCO, 70% of teachers will be replaced by 2030. This study investigates the relationship between the r...

This paper presents an empirical analysis of problem-solving digital competence among primary and secondary students. The study explores the relationship between learners’ personal autonomy, their ability to f...

In this editorial, we review 400 articles and reviews published in the International Journal of STEM Education during its first decade (2014–2023). Using bibliometric analysis, we examine these publications to as...

In an era of precipitous insect declines, effective entomology education is especially needed to support firsthand knowledge of nature. Understanding what students know and feel about insects is instrumental t...

In the digital age, fostering young children’s computational thinking (CT) and executive functions (EFs) through programming has emerged as a significant research issue. While unplugged programming activities ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, holding promising potential for supporting the design and implementation o...

Disembedding is a crucial spatial thinking skill in visual arts and mathematics education. It is important in creating and analyzing artworks by separating a figure from its background, as well as for solving ...

Students from low-socioeconomic status backgrounds (LSES) are underrepresented in STEM education, including in the biological sciences. As one of the foundational STEM disciplines, biology represents an intere...

The demand for engineers in the workforce continues to rise, which requires increased retention and degree completion at the undergraduate level. Engineering educators need to better understand opportunities t...

Given that limited well-developed instruments are available to assess students’ transdisciplinary STEM practices (T-STEMP), this study aims to develop and validate an instrument for examining secondary student...

Active learning, on average, increases student performance in STEM courses. Yet, there is also large variation in the effectiveness of these implementations. A consistent goal of active learning is moving stud...

Even among women who persist in the gender-imbalanced engineering fields, women on engineering design teams tend to take on non-technical roles. Understanding the mechanisms that inform this phenomenon is impo...

The purpose of this scoping review is to describe how the literature has discussed and studied disability in undergraduate-level STEM courses in the United States. A Critical Disability Studies lens informed o...

The demand for professionals with expertise in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) continues to grow. To meet this demand, universities are actively seeking strategies to engage more stude...
