PRESENT AND FUTURE OF STEM TRAINING: challenges and goals

Deadline for receipt of articles: October 1, 2020

Publication date: January 2021

Scope

STEM Training (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), is a concept widely used in scientific literature since it was coined in the 90s. The focus of this concept is clearly interdisciplinary and eminently practical, as a way to solve from science the future challenges of society.

The little literature in Spanish generates uncertainties in topics such as the characteristics of STEM training both in primary and secondary studies, in university or in the connection between education and the workplace. This last aspect is especially important because a large part of current and future market niches need workers trained in STEM.

Lastly, it is also necessary to reflect on the role of the social sciences and humanities within this STEM training and how it will be based on attending to the needs of today's societies and facing the great challenges that arise in the future.
