  1. Shahadat Uddin & Tasadduq Imam & Mohammad Mozumdar (2021): Research interdisciplinarity: STEM versus non-STEM
    It is also unclear whether the dominant role of disciplines vary between STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and non-STEM focused research. ... It is noted that the disciplines Engineering, Biological Sciences and Technology appear as the principal disciplines in interdisciplinary research having a STEM focus. By contrast, non-STEM interdisciplinary research is led by three disciplines—Studies in Human Societies, Language, Communication and Culture, and History and Archaeology. For projects entailing interdisciplinarity between STEM and non-STEM disciplines, the STEM discipline of Medical and Health Sciences and the non-STEM disciplines of Psychology and Cognitive Science and Studies in Human Societies appear as the leading contributors. Overall, the network-based visualisation reveals that research interdisciplinarity is implemented in a heterogeneous way across STEM and non-STEM disciplines, and there are gaps in inter-disciplinary collaborations among some disciplines.

  2. Sarah R. Cohodes & Helen Ho & Silvia C. Robles (undated): STEM Summer Programs for Underrepresented Youth Increase STEM Degrees
    The federal government and many individual organizations have invested in programs to support diversity in the STEM pipeline, including STEM summer programs for high school students, but there is little rigorous evidence of their efficacy.

  3. Alan Green & Danielle Sanderson (2018): The Roots of STEM Achievement: An Analysis of Persistence and Attainment in STEM Majors
    This article analyzes persistence and attainment in postsecondary science, engineering, technology, and math (STEM) education using data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study. Ability is shown to have a consistent impact on STEM performance. ... High school math preparation and attending small colleges increase the likelihood of noninterested students switching to STEM fields.

  4. Yapeng Wang (2024): Understanding Asians’ Success in Pursuing and Completing STEM Degrees
    Despite decades of national efforts to increase students’ participation and success in STEM, bachelor’s degrees in STEM continue to notably lag the labor force demand. Asian students represent one group that disproportionately contributes to the share of STEM degrees. Understanding their experiences can help to illuminate ways of increasing STEM success overall. This study focuses on two research questions: (1) How do Asian women and men fare compared to their White counterparts regarding two outcomes: STEM major preference and STEM degree attainment? ... However, Asian women are more likely to prefer a STEM major than White women.

  5. Jiang, Xuan (2021): Women in STEM: Ability, preference, and value
    Women are underrepresented in both STEM college majors and STEM jobs. Even with a STEM college degree, women are significantly less likely to work in STEM occupations than their male counterparts. This paper studies the determinants of the gender gap in college major choice and job choice between STEM and non-STEM fields and quantifies how much the gender wage gap can be explained by these choices using an extended Roy Model. ... Instead, a part of the gender gap in STEM occupations can be explained by the fact that women are more represented in less Math-intensive STEM majors and graduates from those majors are more likely to be well-matched to and to take jobs in non-STEM occupations. ... The counterfactual analysis shows that about 13.7% of the gender wage gap among college graduates can be explained by the returns to STEM careers among the non-STEM women in the top 6.7% of the ability distribution.

  6. Nur Farhana Ramli & Othman Talib (2017): Can Education Institution Implement STEM?
    STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) has been implemented in schools beginning 2017. The main objective of the paper is to find out the views of science teachers regarding the implementation of STEM in schools. ... The results showed that teachers’ understanding in implementing STEM is insufficient. ... This study suggests the urgent need for authorities to disseminate understanding and provide sufficient training to the teachers as well as to overcome the barriers as they are going to implement STEM in schools.

  7. Trairat Pipatpokkapole & Sukunya Roipila (2015): The Readiness for Implementing STEM Education Through the Basic Schools
    This research aims to study the opinions of administrators, teachers and parents.About the availability of education in the STEM and proposed to guidelines for management STEM education. ... The results showed that the availability of STEM education and basic education in the country at a high level. But there is a limit on the policy of national education in the STEM activities used in teaching. In STEM teaching should start from kindergarten levels .

  8. Vongai Mpofu & Kehdinga George Fomunyam (2020): A Theoretical Framework for Implementing STEM Education
    Globally, strengthening Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education is recognized as embedding solutions to many societal problems like the depletion of natural resources and issues related to climate change. The recognition of STEM disciplines as economic drivers motivated the initiation of STEM education in both developed and developing nations. This is based on the thinking that an effective STEM education is a vehicle for developing in students the much desired twenty-first century competences. ... In most nations, educators lack a cohesive understanding of STEM education and are also deprived of an easy-to-understand STEM education framework that informs classroom practices. This chapter proposes a practical theoretical framework that nations may adopt and/or adapt for their STEM education to be successful.

  9. Hsieh, Tien-Shih & Kim, Jeong-Bon & Wang, Ray R. & Wang, Zhihong (2022): Educate to innovate: STEM directors and corporate innovation
    Using a sample of 14,245 firm-year observations from 2,579 listed firms in the Chinese capital market, this study investigates whether board directors with an educational background in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are associated with greater corporate innovation. ... This study provides novel empirical evidence supporting resource dependence theory and extends the labor economics literature regarding the value of STEM graduates for corporate innovation. The findings have significant implications for policymakers and practitioners, showing that firms with a strategic focus on innovation may find it beneficial to appoint more directors with a background in STEM.
