“…Since 2017, the STEM Education Research Center officially has initiated collaborations in these regards and initiated China's STEM Education White Paper and STEM Teachers Competency Level Standards (Ma, 2021). While the documents pointed out some progress in STEM education, especially in theoretical research and education policy, researchers identify challenges for the future of STEM in China such as the insufficient number of teachers, inadequate teachers' STEM preparation, poor infrastructure conditions, and the limited macro-regulation and support at a national level for vulnerable groups (Quan, 2020;Zhong et al, 2022). In 2018, following the 2029 Action Plan for China's STEM Education, a research force was organized to help train school teachers and build different special projects with a focus on STEM teacher training; STEM curriculum development; and local, national, and international cooperative promotions (Quan, 2020).…”

“…The considerable number of submissions in History, epistemology, and perspectives about STEM and STEM education could reflect the discussion around the term STEM in the country. While the term STEM originated in United States initially to address issues regarding technology and the economy in that country, China's education has been historically influenced by a different tradition and many Chinese educational researchers and practitioners are still pursuing their own educational concept regarding STEM education (Zhong et al, 2022).…”

Research trends in international science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education conference series: An analysis of a decade of proceedings

This paper reports on the results of a descriptive analysis of 675 publications included in the proceedings of five editions of the International Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in Education Conferences held in Australia, Canada, and China over 9 years between 2012 and 2021. Peer-reviewed academic journals are traditional sources of high quality and established research. Yet these papers might take months and sometimes years to get published. On the other hand, an analysis of research foci represented at international STEM conferences can be used as a source of the most recent trends in the field, and the developments of STEM education research across time and by national origins. In this analysis, 675 abstracts from five editions of the International STEM in Education Conference were coded into eight topics, followed by a descriptive analysis of the results. Four countries were consistently the top four contributors: Australia, Canada, China, and the United States. Thus, the study conducted a descriptive analysis and discussion of the trends among these countries. The results revealed trends in STEM education research, among which policy, curriculum, assessment; K-12 teaching and learning, are dominant topics of research investigation, while postsecondary STEM teaching and learning are less investigated. The results also demonstrated the dominance of some topics over others among the countries that most contributed to the conferences. For instance, Canada dominated in the studies of culture, gender, and social issues and in postsecondary STEM education. China paid much less attention to these topics, while putting more emphasis on historical and epistemological perspectives on STEM, policy and curriculum, and K-12 teaching and learning. Australian research focused on policy and curriculum; K-12 teaching and learning; and industry. Meanwhile, the United States showed the least difference in percentages between topics. Overall the analysis indicates a relatively low interest in postsecondary STEM education research, despite the growing demand for STEM professionals. This highlights the need for STEM education research focused on institutions of higher education. This analysis interprets the trend results in light of the issues in STEM education confronting various national jurisdictions.

“…In the pursuit of academic and professional achievements, career success emerges as a crucial goal for college students, significantly influencing their future prospects. This objective is particularly paramount among Chinese college students, where the pursuit of career success gains heightened importance due to the intensely competitive and dynamically evolving job market in China ( Yang et al, 2022 ; Zhong et al, 2022 ). Prior research has delved into various antecedents of career success, highlighting the roles of academic achievements ( Kraimer et al, 2019 ), networking ( Davis et al, 2020 ), and personality traits such as conscientiousness and extraversion ( Spurk et al, 2019 ; Lei et al, 2021 ) in shaping individuals’ career trajectories.…”

IntroductionThe study examines the interplay between gratitude and career success, with career resilience as the mediating mechanism and personality traits, i.e., conscientiousness and extraversion, as moderating factors. The overarching goal is to enhance our understanding of the complex dynamics that influence career outcomes of college students in China.MethodsData are gathered through a survey-based technique, capturing responses from a diverse sample of participants. The analysis employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to explore the relationships among gratitude, career resilience, personality traits, and career success.ResultsThe results reveal that gratitude impacts students’ career success through the mediating mechanism of career resilience. In addition, conscientiousness and extraversion are found to positively intervene the direct effect between gratitude and career resilience and the indirect effect between gratitude and career success through career resilience.DiscussionThe findings offer valuable insights for individuals, organizations, and career development practitioners, emphasizing the importance of cultivating gratitude and recognizing the differential impact of personality traits on this process. As organizations seek to foster resilient and successful career paths, acknowledging these nuanced dynamics can inform targeted interventions and strategies.

The field of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) is one of the most promising in education, and these professionals are employed in high-tech and creative industries that determine the future of global economy. The paper presents a detailed analysis of this sphere based on original approaches, both in the Russian Federation at large and in its regions. In Russia more than half a million people are annually admitted to STEAM training courses for higher education programs. Contrary to the all-Russian trend of reducing the number of students, enrollment for these programs has been steadily growing. According to the latest data, about 36% of university graduates in Russia have a specialty within STEAM. For comparison, this share in South Korea, Singapore, and Germany is above 45%. The largest share of specialists is trained in Tomsk region, St. Petersburg, and Moscow. At the same time, the number of STEAM graduates decreased in 41 Russian regions. In 2022, therisks for STEAM industry in Russia increased markedly: there is a migration outflow of most qualified personnel, with declining domestic demand for them. Over six months from February to August 2022, the total number of vacancies in the Russian labor market decreased by 9%, while STEM - by 23% (IT - by 32.5%). This may affect the long-term scientific and technological development of the country: our calculations show the importance of STEAM for creating start-ups, increasing publication and innovative activity. The article concludeswith some measures for developing STEAM as a tool for long-term development and a way to adapt the country to external shocks.
