• W173656341 abstract "IntroductionAlthough the roots of the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) movement date back to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the formation of NASA and NSF in 1958, the acronym STEM was coined by Dr. Judith Ramaley, assistant director of the Education and Human Resources Directorate, at NSF in 2001 (Chute, 2009). She defined STEM as an educational inquiry where learning was placed in context, where students solved realworld problems and created opportunities-the pursuit of innovation.STEM education has since become perhaps the largest reform movement in PK-12 education over the last decade. It seems that everywhere you look there are stories about STEM education. Politicians are promoting STEM, federal and state agencies are promoting and funding STEM initiatives, for-profit and non-profit groups are discussing the importance of STEM education and corporations, and the media are promoting the idea, as well (Puffenberger, 2010). Within these education, media, corporate and policy circles, the acronym STEM has become commonplace. It is used frequently when referring to a broad area of scholarship and instruction that many deem particularly connected (i.e., those four subjects). Whether the acronym is understood and fashionable outside these education groups is not well known. What is known is that the acronym and associated term is not well-defined, even within groups that make heavy use of it (Storksdieck, 2011).It is not clear whether, when referring to STEM, individuals are addressing any of the four subjects or those areas in which all four disciplines overlap (Storksdieck, 2011). Casual conversations with many professionals in science, technology, engineering and mathematics will quickly reveal a great deal of confusion and a sense that most individuals referring to STEM are really speaking of science or technology or engineering or mathematics individually. To be fair, there are some efforts under way, including a Promising Practices study at the National Academies, where researchers are attempting to explore whether education can benefit when the four disciplines are linked.The rationale for increased emphasis in STEM education is driven largely by lackluster national assessments of PK-12 students over the last decade or two. These assessments continue to indicate that the United States is failing to compete with other countries when it comes to student performance and interest in STEM subject areas. The argument for STEM education is that if the U.S. is to compete with other nations, our children must be well-versed in 21st century workforce skills related to STEM education. We are also often reminded that a lack of investiture in STEM will have dire consequences for the economic and political power of the United States (Puffenberger, 2010).White (n.d.) suggests that, in addition to STEM, the future of the U.S. economy rests on its ability to be a leader in the innovation that will be essential in creating the new industries and jobs that will be at the heart of our new economy. Where the U.S. has historically ranked first in innovation, it now ranks between third and eighth, depending on the survey (White, n.d.). Nationally, we have taken steps to reverse this slide by embracing and funding much needed improvements in STEM education (White, n.d.). When American education is in crisis, policy makers and educational leaders roll out the STEM argument, that the science, technology, engineering and math curriculum needs to be emphasized as the cornerstone of U.S. competitiveness in a world where Chinese students do lightening drills on the periodic table of elements at age 4 (White, n.d.). There is certainly no question that STEM education and STEM skills are a vital part of this country's perceived edge, but many educators would argue that STEM is missing a key set of creativity-related components that are equally critical to fostering a competitive and innovative workforce, and those skills are summarized under the letter A for Arts (White, 2011). …" @default.
