“…It is crucial to nurture primary school students' interest in STEM professions through STEM education (Chen et al, 2020). Consequently, 11 studies suggested that the formation of student interest is one of the factors that make STEM PD programs important for science and mathematics primary school teachers (Capobianco et al, 2018;Chen et al, 2020;Dailey et al, 2018;DeCoito & Myszkal, 2018;Fernández-Limón et Hamilton et al, 2021;Kaderavek et al, 2020;Lee et al, 2021;Nesmith & Cooper, 2019;Silvestri et al, 2019;Turner et al, 2021). Early engagement in STEM activities at primary school may promote study interest in STEM areas (Chen et al, 2020;Kaderavek et al, 2020), and it will support students as they go through school and make decisions about prospective STEM careers (Hamilton et al, 2021;Nesmith & Cooper, 2019).…”

Additionally, STEM activities carried out by competent teachers can help form motivation among students to learn STEM subjects and further develop their interest in the STEM field (Hamilton et al, 2021;Silvestri et al, 2019).…”

“…Therefore, it is challenging for science and mathematics primary school teachers to plan STEM lessons and activities to attract interest and motivate students (Lee et al, 2021). Among the activities indicated that can assist teachers in raising students' interest in STEM are understanding STEM careers through the involvement of experts such as engineers and scientists (Dailey et al, 2018), organizing programs, courses, camps, or engineering clubs (DeCoito & Myszkal, 2018;Fernández-Limón et al, 2018;Silvestri et al, 2019); and collaborative projects with universities, schools, and industry (Capobianco et al, 2018). Primary school teachers should provide meaningful experiences related to theory and practicality within STEM so they can integrate the subjects effectively.…”

In order to compete worldwide, the school system must be transformed by raising educational standards by implementing the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education approach. The purpose of the primary school curriculum is closely aligned with the teaching goals of STEM education, which is to develop each child’s full potential, foster an interest in learning and promote children to develop skills in life. Training qualified science and mathematics primary teachers through professional development (PD) programs is necessary to raise young children who are knowledgeable and skilled in STEM. Therefore, a systematic literature review examined the significance and implementation of STEM PD programs for science and mathematics primary school teachers. The Scopus and Web of Science databases were utilized to find articles written and published between 2018 and 2022. This review gathered 22 articles and produced 14 subthemes under the main themes: Significance and the implementation of STEM PD for primary school teachers. Recommendations for further research are stated at the end of this paper.

“…Studies related to the teachers' identities in school education, especially in higher education, have not been rare (Liu & Han, 2018;Silvestri et al, 2019;Zou, 2020, to name just a few). Teacher identity research is an essential part in the field of education, which is also one of the important factors that affect the professional development of teachers (Ajayi, 2011).…”

The study of pragmatic identity has been a trend in the field of pragmatics. The primary schools in China have carried out online education in the spring of 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19, and this study focuses on two primary pupils and their teachers and parents, paying attention to the pragmatic identities constructed and the discursive devices used by the primary school teachers, pupils and their parents in this special online communication process. It is found that the teachers in this case study tend to construct four types of pragmatic identities in the online teaching activities, namely the knowledgeable scholars, instructional technicians, activity organizers and performance evaluators. The pupils participated in this study mainly build two types of pragmatic identities, namely the study explorers and atmosphere enliveners. The parents involved in the study tend to construct three pragmatic identities – teaching assistants, facility supporters and co-learners – in the online education context. Some discursive devices are used to construct these pragmatic identities, including the devices of language style, speech act, address, vocabulary selection and paralinguistic means. This study also yields some interesting findings on the interaction among teachers, pupils and parents during the process of identity construction in the online teaching and learning environment.

“…Childs (2018) explores the nature of the identity of science teachers in an unfamiliar society to teachers. Teachers enhance identity when enacting real-world educational activities (Silvestri et al, 2019). Therefore, based on the nuance of science teacher identity study, it is important to analyse the study trend in this field.…”

This article reports a bibliometric analysis of 44 articles chosen from 55 articles on science teacher identity studies, published in the Scopus database from 2011 to 2019. The study analysed the trend of science teacher identity based on the number of citations, publication year, country contribution, and co-occurrence of keywords in these journal articles. This study showed that there was an increase in the publication of the topic of identity for science teachers in the last ten years. The results of the analysis showed that studies related to science teacher identity had been carried out in various countries where the United States is the country with the most contributions. We also identified core research topics concerning science teachers’ identity, such as identity development, professional identity, identity context and implication, which receive more attention than the other topics. This study concluded with suggestions for future projects to consider exploring the intersection of agency and practical work with identity and between social categories, especially in elementary education.
