Abstract for the conference program
This study in progress will use surveys to poll current and preservice teachers to better understand their perceptions of STEM education and the role social justice issues play in how they teach. It is our goal to better address the goals of social justice through teaching in STEM, and in order to do that effectively, we need to gain knowledge about what STEM currently looks like in schools, what teachers see as future needs, and what social justice issues exist in their minds. We intend to answer the question: What are the current perceptions of teachers regarding the role of social justice in STEM education?
