For countries that have implemented an integrated STEM curriculum, is there any evidence of improved students interest, and performance in science?

Do you have an idea for countries that implement the Steam Curriculum as their formal curriculum?

There is a wide discussion among the teachers of English in designing the curriculum for the undergraduate students. some of them suggest Teacher-centric and other Student centric. I would like to know the opinion of my followers in RG, which is suitable in your opinion.

I am doing related research (The Gaps Between Intended STEM Curriculum and Enacted Curriculum ) and hope to know the relevant content worldwide and in other countries or regions. If I can get your generous advice, it will expand my related knowledge. Thank you.

We are calling for a paradigm shift in engineering education. In times of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (“4IR”), a myriad of potential changes is affecting all industrial sectors leading to increased ambiguity that makes it impossible to predict what lies ahead of us. Thus, incremental culture change in education is not an option anymore. The vast majority of engineering education and training systems, having remained mostly static and underinvested in for decades, are largely inadequate for the new 4IR labor markets. Some positive developments in changing the direction of the engineering education sector can be observed. Novel approaches of engineering education already deliver distinctive, student-centered curricular experiences within an integrated and unified educational approach. We must educate engineering students for a future whose main characteristics are volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Talent and skills gaps across all industries are poised to grow in the years to come. Therefore, promote an engineering curriculum that combines timeless didactic tradition, such as Socratic inquiry, project-based learning, and first-principles thinking with novel elements (e.g. student-centered active and e-learning by focusing on the case study and apprenticeship pedagogical methods) as well as a refocused engineering skillset and knowledge. These capabilities reinforce engineering students’ perceptions of the world and the subsequent decisions they make. This 4IR engineering curriculum will prepare engineering students to become curious engineers and excellent communicators better navigating increasingly complex multistakeholder ecosystems.

Many thanks for your perspective!

I am working on a research that focuses on the management of technology education curriculum in universities of technology and would like to come up with sound recommendations on strategies that can result in effective management of a technology education curriculum. 

The study focuses specifically on chemistry, but any papers related to gender-sensitive science education at university level would be much appreciated.
