Theme: With-In and In-With STEM Education Research
In the last decade, integrated STEM education research has emerged as a relatively new field in education studies. While most academic scholars are not trained in integrated STEM education, many of them have straddled between disciplinary-based education research and STEM education research. The latter presents many exciting new inspirations and opportunities for the individual disciplines to be designed, enacted, assessed, evaluated, theorised, and researched. "With-in" refers to the emergence of integrated STEM education research from within the monodisciplinary education research as academic scholars bring their knowledge from science education, engineering education, mathematics education, and technology education to construct new understandings in this emerging field. "In-with" suggests the collective efforts of the academic scholars working together to legitimise integrated STEM education as an independent field of study informed by robust research and undergirded by theories. This conference is a platform for researchers to be part of the exciting journey in co-constructing their identity as integrated STEM education researchers.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Individual paper (25 minutes)The paper is presented by an individual author or co-authors. Each presentation is allocated 20 minutes and there will be 5 minutes of Q&A. Typically, three individual paper presentations, belonging to the same strand, are grouped together in one 90-minute concurrent session.
- Symposium (80 minutes)The symposium is presented by multiple authors or co-author groups. Each 80-minute symposium comprises 3 or 4 presentations. In addition to the abstracts for the individual presentations, the symposium proposal should include one 250-350-word integrative statement describing the overall theme of the symposium and connections between the presentations.
- Poster A single author or group of co-authors may prepare a poster for an interactive session. Handouts may be prepared for dissemination to interested audience.
