Chai, C. S. (2019). Teacher professional development for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education: A review from the perspectives of technological pedagogical content (TPACK). Asia-Pacific Education Researcher, 28(1), 5–13. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40299-018-0400-7

Abstract:

“This review identifies 20 studies pertaining to teacher professional development for STEM education. Using a mixture of content analysis with reference to the TPACK framework, and open and axial coding, a descriptive model was constructed. The model describes the connection of the various categories of variables associated with teacher professional development for STEM. How content, pedagogy, and technology are featured in current STEM research are treated as properties of the core phenomenon of teacher professional development for STEM. Design considerations for future research are presented. The study recommends that design thinking, epistemic fluency and technological pedagogical engineering knowledge could be the anchors of future research.”
