Emerging Technologies for STEM Curriculum

Dear Colleagues,

STEM education puts an emphasis on interdisciplinary learning, which directly enables students to use the application of what has been taught in different subjects to develop hands-on projects. With the STEM curriculum, from a teaching and learning perspective, emerging technologies play an important role in supporting student learning. For example, educational applications (APP) in mobile devices may allow students to document learning progress or to analyze learning data. Digital modeling tools such as 3D printers may support students to quickly develop prototypes to examine their design thinking. Electronic gadgets such as the Micro:bit Board may facilitate students to develop dynamic programming skills.

This Special Issue investigates the potential challenges and problems identified in the use of emerging technologies for the STEM curriculum, and invites you to submit research that can address the relevant solutions in different educational levels. Examples of topics include, but are not limited to:

• Curriculum design for the use of emerging technologies
• Instructional strategies during the implementation of emerging technologies
• Teachers’ perceptions of using emerging technologies
• Scaffolding roles for emerging technologies
• Students’ learning responses to emerging technologies
• Students’ learning outcomes in technology-enhanced learning environments
• Applications of emerging technologies
