Cognition, Metacognition, and Culture in STEM Education

The book "Cognition, Metacognition, and Culture in STEM Education" explores the intersection of cognition, metacognition, and culture in the context of learning and teaching in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). It provides a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical foundations and current research findings that demonstrate how various forms of cognitive and metacognitive guidance can enhance learning and thinking in STEM classrooms from elementary school to university across different cultures and countries. The rapid development of research in STEM education has sparked interest among scholars and educators, which is reflected in an updated collection of studies on cognition, metacognition, and culture within the four STEM domains. The unique structure of the book, which employs a matrix organization, allows for a clear definition of key concepts and promotes a better understanding of the complex interrelationships in STEM education.
