Annotation: The article summarized the current state of STEM education in America. It overviews involvement nationwide, as well as the trends of research on students K-12. It gives an wide overview of many different case studies and projects nationwide.
Potential Quotes: “The current analysis has demonstrated that the research base for STEM education has expanded since Brown conducted a similar analysis in 2012. This is encouraging since proficiency in STEM fields is critical to remaining a leader in the 21st century global workforce.” Page 52
Assessment: The source does not take a particular view. Rather it gives an overview of many different case studies and research projects with data and observations to supplement. It was found using the Galileo search engine and is a scholarly article.
Reflection: I will use this primarily to show data reflected in American STEM proficiency levels and possibly compare it to that of other countries.
