“…A search for reviews of STEM education research found multiple reviews that could suggest approaches for identifying publications (e.g., Brown, 2012;Henderson, Beach, & Finkelstein, 2011;Kim, Sinatra, & Seyranian, 2018;Margot & Kettler, 2019;Minichiello, Hood, & Harkness, 2018;Mizell & Brown, 2016;Thibaut et al, 2018;Wu & Rau, 2019). The review conducted by Brown (2012) examined the research base of STEM education.…”

“…In contrast to reviews on STEM education, in general, other reviews focused on specific issues in STEM education (e.g., Henderson et al, 2011;Kim et al, 2018;Margot & Kettler, 2019;Minichiello et al, 2018;Schreffler, Vasquez III, Chini, & James, 2019;Thibaut et al, 2018;Wu & Rau, 2019). For example, the review by Henderson et al (2011) focused on instructional change in undergraduate STEM courses based on 191 conceptual and empirical journal articles published between 1995 and 2008.…”

“…The focus of these reviews allowed the researchers to limit the number of articles considered, and they typically used keyword searches of selected databases to identify articles on STEM education. Some researchers used this approach to identify publications from journals only (e.g., Henderson et al, 2011;Margot & Kettler, 2019;Schreffler et al, 2019), and others selected and reviewed publications beyond journals (e.g., Minichiello et al, 2018;Thibaut et al, 2018;Wu & Rau, 2019).…”

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 journals to get an overview about developments in STEM education scholarship. We examined those selected journal publications both quantitatively and qualitatively, including the number of articles published, journals in which the articles were published, authorship nationality, and research topic and methods over the years. The results show that research in STEM education is increasing in importance internationally and that the identity of STEM education journals is becoming clearer over time.

“…Drawing is a constructive activity that requires the student to organize their background knowledge to create a cohesive visual representation. While engaging in drawing, learners are using a variety of learning processing simultaneously (Wu & Rau, 2019). Drawing activates verbal and text-based representations of a concept, which must then be mapped on to visual representations, thereby activating the dual coding process previously shown to aid learning (Clark & Paivio, 1991).…”

Introduction: There is a history of overlap between art and science education, particularly in anatomy and other related medical specialties. Technological advances have increased exposure to visual images and creation and sharing of image-based content is commonplace. Statement of the Problem: The use of visual content and activities in education typically declines after early childhood, after which most teaching and learning relies heavily on text-based curricula. Incorporating visual content into education makes optimal use of human cognition; visual and verbal processing channels can operate independently, so using both allows for dual coding and enhanced memory. Literature Review: In this paper, we review the literature on the use of visual techniques in teaching undergraduate neuroscience. Teaching Implications: Image-based content can offer learners an additional cognitive resource and also engage English language learners and those with reading challenges, which might not benefit as much from a solely text-based approach. Conclusion: We recommend educators consider the use of (1) learner-generated drawing, (2) 3-D modeling, and (3) infographics to improve learning outcomes among undergraduate neuroscience students. We provide resources and practical suggestions for implementing the aforementioned techniques.

“…Teachers or prospective teachers have different perceptions and initiatives about implementing the STEM approach in their respective learning. Therefore, several studies have been conducted to determine STEM perceptions by visualizing them in pictures (Wu & Rau, 2019). Dye (2001) used the Draw a Science Teacher Test (DASTT) to document the teachers' knowledge and beliefs in learning methods.…”

The STEM learning environment is the practice of studentsâ€™ class solving problems. They use two or more STEM disciplines to solve the problem. The study aims to analyze the perceptions and implementation skills of the STEM learning environment in science education students before and after teaching internships. Perceptions and implementation skills of STEM in prospective teachers or initiatives about STEM are essential in shaping prospective teachersâ€™ characters in facilitating their students as the 21st-century generation. This research used a qualitative approach with descriptive statistical analysis. The data had been retrieved since 2019, then in 2020 after teaching internship. The total of students in this study was 86 from the 2018 class. The students came from three Islamic State Universities in Indonesia. Data collection was carried out through interviews, surveys, and pictures of perceptions and the implementation skill of STEM. The STEM learning environment instruments used were based on integration, personal experience, realistic problems, multiple representation, collaboration, student-centered instruction, and the engineering design process. The results of this study indicated that there is a significant increase in the perception and implementation skill of the STEM learning environment in science education students after teaching internship, indicated by the result of the paired sample t-test were the Asymp Sig.Î±<5 for each indicator. Perceptions and skills of implementing STEM learning environments in studentsâ€™ science education increased from before and after the teaching internship. It shows that the curriculum of the science education study program must be designed with a STEM learning environment approach to have good teaching skills. Curriculum design that leads to increased understanding has pedagogic and professional courses, especially pedagogical courses which include strategic subjects, learning models, learning media, and learning tools.
