When we discuss STEM education, it's easy to focus on acts of teaching and learning. But if our vision of STEM is only confined to the classroom, we risk ignoring a large portion of what the true essence of STEM education is all about. It is more than just a collection of subjects taught in isolation. Access to STEM education is a social justice is...

This study evaluated the effects of integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education on students' academic achievement in science education. This study employed a 2 x 2 quasi-experimental design. The study consisted of the control group (differentiated STEM education approach) and the experimental group (integrative STE...
