Language, literacy, and learning in STEM education : research methods and perspectives from applied linguistics / edited by Mary Jane Curry, University of Rochester, David I. Hanauer, Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Toward hermeneutic listening.

There is increasing pressure for STEM education to reform in the direction of student-centered learning approaches, active learning, interdisciplinarity, and data-driven evaluations and assessments of student learning. These requirements derive from the need for STEM education to facilitate economic development, national health, technological innovation, and appropriate demographic representation. These contingencies create the need and opportunity for the integration of applied linguistic expertise within STEM education. In this chapter, a senior project officer from a major funding instituti.
