eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Maine cannot find the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) talent they need to stay competitive. Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Maine students have made progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough get the chance to learn rich and challenging content that prepares them for college and careers, and few eighth graders have teachers with undergraduate majors in math or science. Since gets especially short shrift: elementary students spend little time on the subject, and most science teachers say they don’t have the resources they need. Link til kilde

Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM education programs can help turn the tide. Wisconsin students have made some progress in math over the past decade. Yet not enough students–least of all minorities–are getting exposed to challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. For example, few eighth graders have teachers with undergraduate majors in math or science. The good news is that those teachers are much more likely than teachers in other states to say they have the resources they need, though black students are least likely to have access to such teachers.… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: African American women are underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields (Catsambis, 1994). The socialization and “under-education” of African American female students engenders ideas of inferiority, while the presence of an inferior race, sex and class, in one body, may produce an ideology of mediocrity. Data findings from NCES (national center for education statistics), College Board, the 2008-2009 Baccalaureate and beyond longitudinal study reaffirm African American girls’ weakness in math and science (NCES, 2009, 2011; College Board, 2011). To prevent African American female students from accepting societal beliefs that blame disparities in math and science on racial or gender inferiorities, recommendations encourage teachers to re-educate this group of girls by employing culturally relevant teaching practices that will undermine gender and racial biases within the classroom.… Continue Reading →

Students’ lagging performance in K-12 is a critical reason why. The good news is that the nation’s most effective STEM ducation programs can help turn the tide. Massachusetts students outscore their peers in almost every other state on national tests of math and science, and they have made strong gains in math since 2003.

Not enough students–least of all minorities–have the chance to learn rich and challenging content that prepares them for college and careers. Math and science teachers of low-income, black and Hispanic… Continue Reading →
