Scoping Out the Research on STEM for Young Children with Disabilities

One of the first tasks we did when we started our work at STEMIE was to take a look at what kind of research evidence exists in STEM learning for young children with disabilities. We conducted an extensive review of the research – called a scoping review – to see what we could find. Join us for this STEM Mini Chat to learn what we found. Presenter: Christine Harradine, PhD

Welcome! Please ask questions or comment here. I will do my best to respond by the end of each day. What did you find surprising about our findings?

I was actually really surprised that the content area most found was Science. I was sure it would be Math. I was sadly not surprised that children with disabilities are not represented in the literature. But I also think it provides an opportunity for us to grow and be creative in finding what works in supporting the STEM development of children with disabilities - and all children!

We were a little surprised that science beat out math, too! It might be that exploring leaves and worms and weather and food and plants "counts" as science, and hence leads naturally to working with that content. We are definitely hoping to continue our collaborative work on finding ways to support STEM learning for ALL children. Thanks for your comment and for visiting STEMIEfest.

<a href="https://www.liysf.org.uk/liysf/science-project">The Science Museum</a> I've heard about stem lecture from one of my acquaintances. This lecture is literally a lifetime opportunity for Science & Maths Students as it offers them to experience real science.
