eric.ed.gov har udgivet: An educational crisis has been reported from many scholarly platforms for the last quarter century. The United States is faced with the challenge of providing a secondary science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education, especially in secondary pre-engineering, that will lead its students to the fulfillment of academic and domestic success. Educational reform is paramount in defining goals for the future and in reaching those goals both in secondary education institutions and in the nation. The educational crisis addressed in this research is characterized by K-12 public education not producing students who have the necessary skills or inclination to be successful in college and university engineering programs across the nation. Today, there are many programs available for public schools to participate in pre-engineering. The purpose of this… Continue Reading →

He responded to questions such as:… Continue Reading →

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: Business leaders in Utah 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. Utah students have made some progress in math since 2003, yet not enough have the chance to learn challenging content to prepare them for college and careers. Few eighth graders have teachers with undergraduate majors in math. The gender imbalance in computing degrees is higher in Utah than in almost any other state. Link til kilde
