Review and Appraisal of the Federal Investment in STEM Education Research

Abstract

The STEM Education Research report provides a review and appraisal of the federal investment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education research, along with recommendations for strengthening the federal research portfolio in this area. Among other objectives, a major goal of the report is to stimulate the development of federal research agendas both within and among agencies that will lead to the strengthening of our knowledge base in this field in the short run, and to improvements in STEM learning and educational practices in the long run. It should also be noted that the recommendations which have emerged from the data reviewed in this report can best be interpreted if viewed within the broader context of the EWD Subcommittee's purpose and scope.
