This book addresses the point of intersection between cognition,
metacognition, and culture in learning and teaching Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). We explore
theoretical background and cutting-edge research about how various
forms of cognitive and metacognitive instruction may enhance learning
and thinking in STEM classrooms from K-12 to university and in
different cultures and countries. Over the past several years, STEM
education research has witnessed rapid growth, attracting considerable
interest among scholars and educators. The book provides an updated
collection of studies about cognition, metacognition and culture in
the four STEM domains. The field of research, cognition and
metacognition in STEM education still suffers from ambiguity in
meanings of key concepts that various researchers use. This book is
organized according to a unique manner: Each chapter features one of
the four STEM domains and one of the three themes—cognition,
metacognition, and culture—and defines key concepts. This
matrix-type organization opens a new path to knowledge in STEM
education and facilitates its understanding. The discussion at the end
of the book integrates these definitions for analyzing and mapping the
STEM education research.
