Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education is a priority for governments around the world. For example, the UK’s current commitment to increasing investment in research and development to 2.4% of GDP by 2027 means that we need to train 260,000 more researchers to carry out this work.

By Colleen Flaherty. Increasing class size negatively impacts women's participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics classrooms, says a new study in BioScience. Based on data from 44 different institutions and 5,300 student-instructor interactions, researchers found that this effect kicks in at around 120 students per class. More...
Research shows the number of girls who want to pursue STEM careers continues to decline–here’s what can be done about it. More...

Employers blame schools and stereotypes for persistent gender divide in science, tech, engineering and maths apprenticeships. More...
Les mathématiques ne sont pas la matière préférée de tous les élèves, c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire. En effet, pour nombre de gens, la perspective de devoir résoudre un problème de maths peut susciter de véritables tensions et anxiétés. Plus...Matematika juga berfungsi untuk mengembangkan kemampuan komunikasi dengan menggunakan bilangan dan simbol untuk menyelesaikan persoalan matematis. Di sekolah dasar, kurikulum matematika menekankan aspek bilangan, geometri dan pengukuran, dan pengolahan data. More...
Getting more women in STEM fields remains a challenge all over. In the United States, men earn nearly 80 percent of engineering and computer science bachelor’s degrees, even though more than half the country’s population is female. And while underrepresented minority women make up 16 percent of the population, they earn just three and five percent of bachelor’s degrees in engineering and computer science respectively. More...
Il est juste de dire que les mathématiques ne sont pas la matière préférée de tout le monde. En fait, pour plusieurs, devoir résoudre un problème mathématique suscite des sentiments de tension et d'anxiété. Plus...By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Christoph Schiller: The Adventure of Physics, Motion Mountain November 28, 2005
It's not the most user-friendly download ever (by definition, being a PDF) but it's hard not to be impressed by this. Motion Mountain is offering this complete physics textbook as a free download. More...
