- Preschool Teachers’ Knowledge, Perspectives and Practices in Stem Education: An Interview Study (2021) · doi
Significant role in achieving the goals of STEM education is played by the teacher, who scaffolds the learning process, builds a creative learning environment, provokes children with open questions and guides them to test their hypothesis as young scientists, mathematicians, engineers and technology users.

Comparisons with the lesson plans and the further study of the conceptions through their distributions showed a limited attention for the broader local and social context, identifying and improving design solutions, engaging in reflection on STEM knowledge and skills, content integration with technology and mathematics knowledge and skills as opposed to assigning supportive roles, exposure to STEM careers and non‐STEM disciplines, and ways to foster a wide array of complex 21st century skills.

To address this gap in the literature, we examined the design of STEM lesson plans by in-service secondary teachers ( n = 26) from all S-T-E-M disciplinary backgrounds who participated as members of a learning community in the context of a 7-month professional development program comprised of 13 small-group sessions.
