Problematizing teaching and learning mathematics as “given” in STEM education

Abstract: Mathematics is fundamental for many professions, especially science, technology, and engineering. Yet, mathematics is often perceived as difficult and many students leave disciplines in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as a result, closing doors to scientific, engineering, and technological careers. In this editorial, we argue that how mathematics is traditionally viewed as "given" or "fixed" for students' expected acquisition alienates many students and needs to be problematized. We pr… Show more

“…The category that had grown most rapidly since 2010 is the one involving all four areas. Recent growth in the number of publications in category 1 likely reflected growing interest of traditional individual disciplinary based educators in developing and sharing multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship in STEM education, as what was noted recently by Li and Schoenfeld (2019) with publications in IJ-STEM.…”

“…In the mathematics aspect, students looked so enthusiastic to calculate water discharge, as well as the Ph and TDS of water content. This result was relevant to Li & Schoenfeld (2019) that mathematics learning will become more interesting and meaningful if implemented through PjBL model using integrated STEM.…”

“…However, of the 88 projects with a disciplinary focus on mathematics, 54 projects had mathematics as the only disciplinary focus (38 under "Education Research" program and 16 under "Special Education Research" program). We certainly hope that there will be more projects that further scholarship where mathematics is included as part of (integrated) STEM education (see Li & Schoenfeld, 2019).…”
