Resumen de Publicaciones STEM en Educación Superior: revisión de la literatura científica

Jessica Sandoval Palomares, Sergio de Jesús Tobón

• The society of the 21st century is changing rapidly, which generates a need for educational renewal, methods, approaches, and processes. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education represents an educational approach in full growth and development that is aligned with current educational needs, an example of this is the continuous increase in publications around this line of research, where a clear predominance of empirical studies on this approach can be seen. In this study, a series of articles published in high-impact journals from different journals are analyzed and reviewed with the aim of making a critical reflection and evaluating the scope of this approach. The results obtained show that, although there are some works that show relevant theoretical aspects, there are still theoretical gaps that provide a solid foundation in epistemological, psychological, and didactic aspects of STEM education. As a result of the analysis, the need to continue with the work of theoretical support is highlighted, which allows its implementation in an effective way.
