| description | Purpose – This article discusses several issues concerning STEM in the context of teacher education. Design/methodology/approach – Using a review of the literature of the past two decades, this article approached the topic of addressing STEM in the context of teacher education through six issues. Findings – 1. Integration is key. 2. Disciplinary knowledge needs emphasizing. 3. Equitability of discipline representations is a nonfactor. 4. Still, mathematics deserves a heavier dose. 5. Collaboration is a desired component. 6. Inequality issues deserve more attention. Originality/value – This article is original. It informs researchers, practitioners and policymakers of what issues to focus on concerning STEM in the context of teacher education. |
