Background With the expansion of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) schools all over the United States and the world, new roles for teachers are being created, and with these roles, identities are evolving. However, these roles and identities remain an ill-defined area in STEM. The purpose of this…

This study proposes and tests a theoretical model of how perceptions of disposition, engagement, and efficacy of teachers for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) e-learning can predict their sense of vitality when they designed STEM education. Upon the proposition, we developed and validated an…

The term STEM refers to teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is a very broad concept that includes education across all grade levels: starting from kindergarten and finishing in post-doctorate studies. STEM education is also transversal: is applied in formal (e.g.…

Within the past two decades, Augmented Reality (AR) applications have received increased attention. Augmented Reality is now widely used in the education sector at level K-12. AR is expected to be generally adopted in two-to-three years in higher education and four-to-five years in K‐12. Applying AR technology in the…

Project-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as an effective way to teach complex biology concepts. However, not all institutions have the resources to facilitate effective project-based coursework for students. We have developed a framework for facilitating PBL using remote-controlled internet-connected…

Ageing is a complex biological process that involves numerous genes and pathways. Experimental studies have identified several of these genes and pathways that that can extend or shorten an individual’s lifespan. Understanding these genes and pathways can help develop interventions that improve health and quality of…

Genomic sequencing and other big biological data is unquestionably of paramount value, however the success in recruiting highly skilled individuals with diverse backgrounds has been limited. A main reason for this deficiency could be due to the lack of educational resources and early exposure to the field. With the…

Despite the promise of self-driving laboratories to accelerate discovery, their widespread implementation is hindered by prohibitive cost and technical complexity. We introduce BrickSDLab, a fully functional self-driving lab platform built entirely from LEGO® components, designed to bridge this accessibility gap.…

Preschool teachers’ ability and willingness to adopt scientific practice teaching are affected by internal and external factors. A question therefore arises: Do organizational incentives, as an external environmental factor (extrinsic motivation), strengthen or weaken the effect of science beliefs (internal factor) on…

We propose the DHAC conceptual model of teacher preparation (Development of Habits through Apprenticeship in a Community), which builds on the contemporary literature on teacher preparation in physics and other disciplines and strives to provide a better understanding of the process of teacher formation. Extant…
