Innovative Practices in STEM Education: Emerging Technologies, Pedagogies and Learning Models

Editors: Mustafa Tevfik Hebebci


Innovative Practices in STEM Education: Emerging Technologies, Pedagogies and Learning Models examines how contemporary pedagogical approaches and emerging technologies can be effectively integrated to design meaningful, equitable, and sustainable STEM learning environments. This edited volume moves beyond technology-driven innovation by emphasizing the critical role of theory-informed pedagogy, curriculum design, and assessment in advancing STEM education. Drawing on diverse frameworks such as inquiry- and problem-based learning, computational thinking, gamification, variation theory, integrative STEM, and TPACK, the book illustrates how innovative practices support deep conceptual understanding, creativity, and collaboration across STEM disciplines. Mathematics is positioned as a unifying discipline that connects science, technology, and engineering through modelling and problem solving. With a strong focus on implementation and equity, the volume presents international case studies and research-based examples from face-to-face, hybrid, and virtual contexts, including rural and underserved settings. By critically examining emerging technologies—such as augmented reality, metaverse environments, open-source platforms, and game-based learning—alongside STEAM, entrepreneurship, and community-based initiatives, the book offers a comprehensive and practice-oriented perspective. Intended for researchers, educators, and policymakers, this volume provides an evidence-informed roadmap for developing coherent, inclusive, and future-ready STEM education practices.
