Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Project-based learning (PBL) is a pedagogical approach that encourages the incorporation of various disciplines, aiming to foster a profound comprehension of how knowledge is developed and employed. STEM education has become a prominent focus in K-16 curricula, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these fields in preparing students for a dynamic future. To address these important topics, the forthcoming Special Issue of Education Sciences intends to provide relevant, interesting, and challenging articles demonstrating research, analysis, and promising practice related to all aspects of implementing project-based learning in K-16 classrooms.
Contributions encompassing a wide range of themes related to this topic are welcome, including but not limited to:
- Emphasis on mathematics in STEM PBL education research, particularly pedagogical strategies that facilitate the integration of mathematics into STEM education;
- Exploration of effective PBL strategies within STEM contexts;
- Examination of the impact of PBL on students' conceptual understanding and achievement;
- Evaluation of the challenges and benefits of incorporating PBL in K-16 STEM education;
- Laying the foundation for the effective use of PBL through theoretical and conceptual frameworks in STEM education;
- Integrating social justice and culturally relevant pedagogy in PBL for STEM education;
- Supporting special populations in STEM education;
- Assessing student outcomes of PBL in STEM education.
This Special Issue aims to advance our understanding of PBL in promoting interdisciplinary education and its integration into STEM education. Researchers and practitioners are encouraged to submit papers delving into these themes, thereby contributing to the development of effective PBL pedagogical practices in STEM education environments.
