Thirty Years of Research on STEM Education in America: History, Characteristics and Enlightenment

美国STEM教育研究自1986年诞生起,经过30余年的发展,已引起了世界各国的广泛关注。文章首先通过文献分析,将美国STEM教育研究的发展历程分为发轫阶段、勃兴阶段和拓展阶段,并举例概述了各阶段STEM教育研究的具体情况。随后,文章从研究逻辑、研究思路与研究取向三个维度,分析了美国STEM教育研究的特点。最后,文章从学理探讨、顶层设计与实证探索三方面,分析了美国STEM教育研究对我国的启示,以期为我国STEM教育的研究与发展提供参考。

Since its emergence in 1986,STEM(Science,Technology,Engineering and Mathematics)education research in America has attracted great attention all over the world after more than 30 years of development.Firstly,through literature analysis,the development processes of STEM education research in America were divided into the initial stage,flourishing stage and expanding stage.Meanwhile,the specific situations of STEM education research in each stage were summarized with examples.Then,the characteristics of STEM education research in America were analyzed from three dimensions of research logic,research idea and research orientation.Finally,the enlightenment of STEM education research in America on our country was investigated from three aspects of theoretical discussion,top-level design and empirical exploration,expecting to provide reference for the research and development of STEM education in our country.
