The formation of an academic field is evidenced by many factors, including the growth of relevant research articles and the increasing impact of highly cited publications. Building upon recent scoping reviews of journal publications in STEM education, this study aimed to provide a systematic review of high impact empirical studies in STEM education...
The development of STEM education scholarship takes time and collective effort. Identifying and examining trends in highly cited empirical STEM education research over time will help inform the field and future research. In this study, we searched the Web of Science core database to identify the top 100 most-cited empirical research journal publica...
In this study, we reviewed publications in the International Journal of STEM Education from 2014 to 2021 to gain a glimpse of STEM education research trends in terms of authorship and topics. We analyzed publication quantities and types, authors’ profession, research topics and school levels, and the top 10 most-cited publications over the years. T...
Properties of arithmetic operations are important in mathematics and play a significant role in elementary school students’ learning of mathematics. At the same time, it is quite challenging to help students learn arithmetic operational properties beyond memorization, so that they know when and how to use a specific arithmetic property. This paper...
Abstract Taking publicly funded projects in STEM education as a special lens, we aimed to learn about research and trends in STEM education. We identified a total of 127 projects funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the US Department of Education from 2003 to 2019. Both the number of funded projects in STEM education and their fun...
With the rapid increase in the number of scholarly publications on STEM education in recent years, reviews of the status and trends in STEM education research internationally support the development of the field. For this review, we conducted a systematic analysis of 798 articles in STEM education published between 2000 and the end of 2018 in 36 jo...
At present, all countries in the world were actively promoting the development of STEM education research, especially the United States. By analyzing funded projects on STEM education, this study explored current situation and development trends of STEM education research in the United States. The findings showed that the funding amount of STEM edu...
Although many studies had investigated possible factors of teachers’ job satisfaction and their correlations with job satisfaction, few studies had analyzed factors influencing STEM teachers’ job satisfaction from the perspective of Job demands-resources theory (JD-R theory). Based on the JD-R theory, this study constructed a STEM teachers’ job sat...
In order to study the status and development trends of STEM education research in the 21st century, this article adopted the method of journal article review to examine and summarize 603 STEM papers published in 26 selected journals since 2000, and summarized the characteristics and development trends of these STEM papers. The analyses included bot...

... This study utilized the Web of Science core collection as the database in accordance with the protocol of prior studies (Marín-Marín et al., 2021;Martín-Páez et al., 2019;Li et al., 2022;Hsu et al., 2023). Web of Science is the world's leading information platform for citation search and analysis (Li et al., 2018). ...

... Much less attention has been paid to the efforts of K-12 teachers implementing STEAM activities in their classrooms and schools [9]. A major recognized challenge in implementing STEAM has been the disciplinary boundary crossing from teachers' home disciplines to new disciplines, i.e., learning enough about art as a science teacher or enough computer science as an art teacher to lead an authentic, interdisciplinary STEAM unit [10]. ...
... STEM education is a complex and poorly defined field (Li et al. 2020) that has been the focus of an increasing body of research since 2000 (Kayan-Fadlelmula et al. 2022;Li et al. 2020;Li and Xiao 2022). What started as an acronym, bringing together the four core subjects of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, has changed considerably over the years (Dare et al. 2019;Martín-Páez et al. 2019), to the extent that Breiner et al. (2012) argue that STEM education holds different meanings to different stakeholders. ...

... In addition, the effect of textbook choice could be cumulative over the school years, which means that the textbook choice has a genuine effect on students achievement in each school year and the overall effect increases over the years. Finally, Huang et al. (2022) explored the possible contributions of textbooks to students' performance in the commutative property of addition in Shanghai, China. The authors provided evidence of two instances in which students performed well on the content provided by the textbook and weaker on the approach not covered by the textbook, indicating a strong relationship between textbook content and student achievement. ...
... The other categories include: (1) K-12 education, (2) culture, social and gender issues, (3) post-secondary STEM education, and (4) history, philosophy, epistemology, and nature of STEM education (see Table 1). Further, a review of the number of publicly funded projects in STEM education for different groups of participants from year 2003 to year 2019 by Li et al. (2020b) revealed that most projects involved grade five to grade eight learners. On the other hand, (Chomphuphra et al., 2019) found that the three popular topics among STEM papers were: (1) innovation for STEM learning, (2) professional development, and (3) gender gap and career in STEM. ...

... Reinholz et al. (2021) highlighted the lack of a clear and consistent theoretical framework for STEM subjects. Li et al. (2020) conducted a systematic analysis, finding that STEM education research is gaining global prominence, with distinct journals focusing on the field. Margot and Kettler (2019) identified perceived barriers among teachers and recommended collaboration opportunities and access to high-quality curriculum resources to enhance STEM implementation. ...
... The present and future of science teaching and learning are based on key findings from previous studies (Li, 2018a;Li, 2018b;Li, 2019a;Li, 2019b). The integration of knowing and doing in the teaching and learning process is one of the primary aims of student learning in science (Li, Wang, & Xiao, 2019). Students are recommended to partake in hands-on activities, especially those that build conceptual understanding, as it is more productive for future learning (Thibaut, et al. 2018;Li, Wang, & Xiao, 2019;Margot & Kettler, 2019). ...
... In a previous study(Wang, Li, & Xiao, 2019), we used the acronym "STEM" as a search term under the option of "SEARCH FUNDED RESEARCH GRANTS AND CONTRACTS" without any program category restriction, and identified and analyzed 46 funded projects from 2007 to 2018 that contain "STEM" in a project's title and/or description after screening out unrelated key words containing "stem" such as "system". To make comparisons when needed, we did the same search using the acronym "STEM" and found 8 more funded projects in 2019 for a total of 54 funded projects across many different program categories from 2007 to 2019.Li et al. ...
