Reviews
Those who found useful the first edition of the book published in 2014, will not be disappointed by this revision. It has been significantly updated and contains a good deal of additional content. This book will be particularly useful to schoolteachers, interested in both curriculum development in their workplace and their own personal development. It provides an accessible source to inform their thinking and draws together perspectives from the contributing disciplines, key authors and initiatives that underpin STEM education. It should also feature in indicative reading lists for initial teacher education (ITE), assisting student's development of their ability to draw links between subjects and understand better their own subject's contribution. - Andy Mitchell, Design and Technology Education: An International Journal
