The Movement Of Stem Education

Reflecting on past education reform movements, particularly the Sputnik era education reform movement reveals several keys to successful reform. These keys include, but are not limited to, a shared political and economic goal, clear competitor, metaphor, timeline, symbol, and legislative support. The shared goal or contemporary vision of the Sputnik era education reform movement was framed around sending a man to the moon and returning him safely. This large, understandable, and goal specific challenge

This literature review focuses on three different areas related to this program evaluation: 1. the achievement gap of underprivileged minorities in STEM academic subject areas and careers, 2. the impact of STEM extra-curricular activities on student involvement, interest and ultimately achievement in the subject areas, and 3. the important role makerspaces fill in addressing the need for positive, out-of-school experiences for underprivileged youth. In addition, the review will also cover what successful

been forced to act as imitators, mirroring their teachers’ movements and ideas. Which leads to a limited creative outlet left for those children taught in a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, also known as STEM, environment. Therefore, the arts should be added to the STEM program to encourage the integration of arts into science and math based learning and allow for more creative solutions and innovations. The mindset of a STEM educated worker is not good enough for the economy that

Today, countries and their education systems are in a mad race to keep up with the world’s technological advances. Unfortunately for the residents of the United States, one of the country’s most debilitating problems is that it is falling behind is the lack of STEM (Science, Technology, Math and Engineering) Education directed towards all students, both male and female, in its school systems. Attempts to remedy this are currently in progress, but the nation has fallen drastically behind other global

In America, the state of education has always been a pressing concern, perhaps now more than ever. Improving education has been proven to strengthen the nation time and time again, specifically with regard to science, mathematics and technology. Ten years after the start of the Cold War on October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first ever man-made satellite, Sputnik-1. This action by the Soviets caused immediate concern for the educational system in the United States because this launch proved

mathematics (STEM) education the standard of living in the U.S. may decrease and threaten the economy and national security. The reasoning that the proponents use is that with more innovation and technological advancements, exports will increase and benefit the economy, but if there is no innovation this will harm the economy. The three reports, according to the Congressional Research Service, argue that in order to prevent these issues, we must close the academic achievement gaps in STEM, improve the

undermined the rights for women to obtain a job and education. It was not until the 1920s that women had the right to vote, and it was not until later that women had the opportunity of employment and earn equal pay as men. The battle that women have faced and are still facing today has allowed them to obtain an education and acquire careers alongside men. Although granted these opportunities, women still face problems and are underrepresented in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

Bill Gates once said, “We cannot maintain an innovative economy unless we have well trained people in science, math, and engineering”. STEM vs. STEAM is topic that some people consider not important, however; this argument is what will make the United States education system better or worse. STEM is what the United States education system is using right now and has great goals for students in grades K-12, while STEAM is trying to add another component to the system and adds a number of goals to schools;

discuss how the incorporation of technology within the art education curriculum can bring beneficial results to the classroom environment and learning process. Technology can be incorporated into the art education classroom to help improve student behavior, it is proven to be beneficial in motivating student work and morale, and technology is being used to help integrate the arts with other core subjects as we see in the STEAM movement.   Introduction My father-in-law, Cameron, was born in 1920
