Title: | STEM: Schools of Excellence in an Australian Context? | Contributor(s): | Whannell, Robert (author) ; Pedrazzini, John (author) | Publication Date: | 2017 | Open Access: | Yes | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/21251 | Open Access Link: | http://hiceducation.org/wp-content/uploads/proceedings-library/EDU2017.pdf | Abstract: | This paper looks at the current efforts to address the challenges of declining student number in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (STEM) in upper secondary and tertiary education in Australia. One solution proposed is through teaching STEM as an integrated suite of disciplines within a STEM School of Excellence. A framework describing the process by which a STEM School of Excellence might be developed is described. The challenges, including the Australian curriculum documents and the availability of qualified staff, that would limit the capacity for such a school to be developed are also described. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | HICEducation 2017: 15th Annual Hawaii International Conference on Education, Honolulu, United States of America, 3rd - 6th January, 2017 | Source of Publication: | Conference Proceedings of the Hawaii International Conference on Education, v.2017, p. 1762-1772 | Publisher: | Hawaii International Conference on Education | Place of Publication: | Honolulu, United States of America | ISSN: | 1541-5880 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130212 Science, Technology and Engineering Curriculum and Pedagogy | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 390113 Science, technology and engineering curriculum and pedagogy | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 930299 Teaching and Instruction not elsewhere classified | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 160399 Teaching and curriculum not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E1 Refereed Scholarly Conference Publication | Publisher/associated links: | https://hiceducation.org/proceedings-library/ |
