Springer, a global scientific, technical and medical portfolio, has announced that a new interdisciplinary journal focusing on research in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education is now part of the extensive Education & Language portfolio at Springer. The subscription-based journal with open access options complements the open access International Journal of STEM Education published by Springer Nature under the imprint SpringerOpen. The first issue of the new journal will be published in August 2018.
In two issues per year, the journal provides a platform for the investigation of students' cognitive and non-cognitive development in STEM education at PreK-12 and college levels. Articles explore how specific learning environments can be constructed and provided to facilitate students' learning and development in STEM, and what possible advantages and disadvantages STEM education might have for students' learning experience. Sample research topics include curriculum models, innovative pedagogies, the design of and practices within technology-rich learning environments, and the nature and development of teachers' expertise in STEM education. Scholars from subject areas such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as well as social science fields (e.g. education, psychology and sociology) are encouraged to contribute to the journal.
The journal is led by editor-in-chief Dr Yeping Li, who is professor of teaching, learning, and culture at Texas A&M University, together with associate editor Dr Andrea diSessa from the University of California, Berkeley and international editorial board members.
