Integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) for learning in high school level courses. 

STEM in Secondary Education

 The main difference between STEM and STEAM is in the use of the arts in the learning experience. For example, using a robotic to paint is a STEAM learning activity, however, engineering the robotic arm itself is a STEM activity.

Science Education

Language used in academic, scientific literature is not entirely standardized but has several characteristics and conventions that are commonly used. It is distinct from narrative or informal writing.


Academic Language in Science

Model for visualizing and understanding how readers ingest and comprehend a text. In the model, reading is envisioned as a cyclical process by which a reader engages with ideas in the text. Each cycle represents a new sentence or proposition. During a cycle concepts fluctuate into activation when they obtain the attention of the reader. Concepts that are activated throughout the cycles that occur while reading result in an episodic memory representation of the text or situation model. 


Landscape Model

According to Dökme et al (2022), the motivations for college-aged (third and fourth years) Turkish females to pursue a STEM education in a science education college were fourfold: having received STEM training (e.g. through college courses), father-education level (fathers having graduated from high school), participation in STEM activities, and having a role model working in a STEM career.
