STEM Education research in the Faculty of Arts and Education (FOAE) focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education across the learning continuum, including early childhood, primary, secondary, and tertiary education; home and community settings; and both Australian and international contexts.
Collectively, this research group considers how learners and educators can be supported to see themselves as capable users of STEM knowledge and skills in their everyday lives. The program of research also emphasises the affective domain of STEM education, attending to the ways in which differing approaches to STEM education enable or constrain learners’ and educators’ positive dispositions and motivations towards engaging in STEM endeavours.
The STEM Education Research Group utilises a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches, influenced by the different STEM education disciplines in which individual members specialise.
This group brings together a critical mass of STEM education academics, HDR students, research assistants, educators, and people from the wider community, with the aim of enhancing STEM educational practices and outcomes for all stakeholders in the communities with whom we collaborate. The group also aims to cultivate a positive environment that will help develop the full potential of researchers at all stages of their careers.
We welcome comments and inquiries from potential industry partners, researchers and PhD students. Please contact A/Prof. Amy MacDonald at amacdonald@csu.edu.au or A/Prof. Lena Danaia at ldanaia@csu.edu.au
