Transforming Culture with STEM Education

By Debra I Cumbie

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are subject areas that are being integrated in classrooms throughout the United States. The integration of these four disciplines is known as STEM education. This type of education seeks to ignite passion and curiosity in students through experiments and activities such as those performed by scientists and engineers in the real-world (Abbas, 2017; Martin, 2018). STEM education supports the use of hands-on activities in the classroom, encourages active student participation, and provides students with the opportunity to collaborate.STEM is important to student motivation and collaboration in the classroom, but it is also essential to our global economy (Abbas, 2017). America has fallen behind other developed countries in its abilities in math and science due to the lack of preparation of students in these areas (Parker, Abel, & Denisova, 2015). There is a need for the United States to remain competitive as a nation; the need to provide our students with the skills necessary to be productive members of society is substantial (Allen, 2016).
