This book argues that integrating artistic contributions – with an emphasis on culture and language – can make Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects more accessible, and therefore promote creativity and innovation in teaching and learning at all levels of education. It provides tools and strategies for managing interdisciplinary learning and teaching based on successful collaborations between researchers, practitioners and artists in the fields of the Arts and STEM subjects. Based on contributions by educators, scientists, scholars, linguists and artists from around the globe, the book highlights how we can demonstrate teamwork and collaboration for innovation and creativity in STEAM subjects in the classroom and beyond. The book reflects the core of human rights education, using local languages and local knowledge through art as a tool for teaching human rights at school, and bringing to light questions on diversity, ecology, climate change, environmental issues, health and the future of human beings, as well as power relations between non-dominant (minorities) and dominant (the majority) groups in society.
Design is a central activity within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Within enacted practice, design can feature within intended learning outcomes, for example in learning to design, and it can feature within pedagogical methodologies, for example by learning through design. Often holding differing disciplinary interpretations such as design as cyclical problem solving, iterative design, conceptual design, or design with or without make, understanding the educational merits of the ill-defined and open nature of authentic designerly activity is paramount. This Research Topic sets out to gain a more nuanced understanding of the value and role(s) of design within STEM educational contexts. This Research Topic focuses on design within STEM educational contexts, particularly in terms of teaching, learning, and assessment. The aim is to contribute to the evidential basis which can be used to guide the incorporation of design into educational practice. The topic has two central research objectives. The first is to generate evidence regarding what design is in STEM education. For example, is the ability to design a singular or manifold construct? Is the capacity to design, or are factors of this ability, both learnable and teachable? How transferable is designerly knowledge between contexts? How do different disciplinary contexts influence the interpretation of design? The second is to further our understanding of how best to incorporate design within STEM education contexts. For example, how much emphasis should be placed on learning to or through design in school? How should design be assessed within formal education? Where and when is design best incorporated into education? In posing these questions, the goal of this research topic is to provide scholarly discourse which supports critical reflection and the challenging of assumptions regarding design in education.
The social and emotional welfare of students in both K-12 and higher education settings has become increasingly important during the third decade of the 21st century, as students face a variety of social-emotional learning (SEL) challenges related to a multitude of internal and external factors. As concepts around traditional literacy education evolve and become more culturally and linguistically relevant, the connections between SEL and academic literacy opportunities warrant considerable exploration. The Handbook of Research on Supporting Social and Emotional Development Through Literacy Education develops a conceptual framework around pedagogical connections to social and emotional teaching and learning within K-12 literacy practices. This text provides a variety of research and practice protocols supporting student success through the integration of SEL and literacy across grade levels. Covering topics such as culturally relevant literacy, digital literacy, and content-area literacy, this handbook is essential for curriculum directors, education faculty, instructional facilitators, literacy professionals, practicing teachers, pre-service teachers, professional development coordinators, school counselors, teacher preparation programs, academicians, researchers, and students.

The current volume, entitled Motivation and Engagement in Various Learning Environments, includes research studies from different domains related to students’ motivation, engagement and learning, parents’ experiences, and teachers’ involvement with novel interdisciplinary programs. Different perspectives are presented in this collection of work, namely those of students, teachers, and parents. This volume compiles research on motivation and engagement in various domains, such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), Literacy, Design, and Computer Science. A particular focus is placed on interdisciplinarity, as learning occurs across multiple domains, and in various contexts, such as formal and informal education. Additionally, the current volume provides examples of studies discussing different modalities in designing and implementing innovative educational programs, inquiry-based learning, and useful applications for instruction. Motivation and Engagement in Various Learning Environments appeals to a wide audience, including researchers, teachers, parents, students, and education specialists.

Promoting Language and STEAM Human Rights in Education successfully illustrates how introducing the arts, language, multicultural, and social justice issues into the curriculum promises to provide a more humanistic, globally effective education for all.” —Robert F. Arnove, Chancellor’s Professor Emeritus of Educational Leadership Policy Studies at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA “We live in a time where education is under pressure, first of all because it is reduced to being a tool for political and economic change, where the best of the student is predetermined by learning outcomes, and not guided by the open, searching and wondering way to knowledge and deeper insights. This book fills a huge gap with its though-provoking, relevant and hands-on reflection on the creativity, imagination and inquiry needed to awaken social justice in cross-cultural and multidisciplinary education. Using artistic processes, story-telling, fiction and art in STEAM, opens up the fundamental questions of morality and existence: What should be the purpose of education? And how to live together?” —Inga Bostad, Professor of Philosophy, Department of Education, Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Oslo, Norway “This collection of essays challenges the status quo positions in education policy that (i) STEM can operate in a vacuum outside of culture, language, and artistic modes of expression, and (ii) STEM is superior to the arts and humanities with respect to understanding reality. While “STEM” connotes a rootedness and a base for growth, the addition of ‘A’ to “STEM” to make “STEAM” connotes power and direction. Both are important rootedness and growth as well as power and direction. With this volume as a guide, informed progress in debates about educational policy can be made.” —Anand Jayprakash Vaidya, Professor of Philosophy & Director of the Center for Comparative Philosophy, San Jose State University, San Jose, California, USA .
The imperative that all students, including English learners (ELs), achieve high academic standards and have opportunities to participate in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning has become even more urgent and complex given shifts in science and mathematics standards. As a group, these students are underrepresented in STEM fields in college and in the workforce at a time when the demand for workers and professionals in STEM fields is unmet and increasing. However, English learners bring a wealth of resources to STEM learning, including knowledge and interest in STEM-related content that is born out of their experiences in their homes and communities, home languages, variation in discourse practices, and, in some cases, experiences with schooling in other countries. English Learners in STEM Subjects: Transforming Classrooms, Schools, and Lives examines the research on ELs' learning, teaching, and assessment in STEM subjects and provides guidance on how to improve learning outcomes in STEM for these students. This report considers the complex social and academic use of language delineated in the new mathematics and science standards, the diversity of the population of ELs, and the integration of English as a second language instruction with core instructional programs in STEM.
This handbook presents a global overview of current research in education and education policy reforms during the last decade. It provides an accessible, practical and comparative source of current research that examines the intersecting and diverse discourses of this important issue. It first examines globalisation, education and policy research and reforms in higher education, including coverage of main trends in education and policy reforms globally, as well as specific policy issues such as gender, equity, minorities and human rights. Next, the handbook offers a comparative perspective that evaluates the ambivalent and problematic relationship between globalisation, the state and education reforms globally. It features coverage on curricula issues and education reforms in schools around the world, the curriculum in the global culture, as well as globalisation and education futures, with respect to social justice and human rights. The handbook contributes to a better and a more holistic understanding of the education reforms and research nexus—offering possible strategies for the effective and pragmatic policy planning and implementation at the local, regional and national levels. It will serve as a vital sourcebook of ideas for researchers, practitioners and policy makers in education.
