current national focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) ineducation has created an apt moment for research on factors that can improve STEM instruction.In November 2009, President Barack Obama declared an “all-hands-on-deck” directive toimprove STEM education in America2. This mandate came from the recognition that STEMfields are “highly-paid, highly-rewarding fields” (both personally and nationally) and that ourstudents are now in the “middle of the pack” globally in STEM subjects (p.1). President Obamalaid out a list of four priorities to improve STEM education including the recruitment of 100,000new and effective STEM teachers, the closing of the achievement gap in STEM education,increased funding for STEM education, and
