Linda Borger Sweden’s 2018 PISA results sparked both celebration and controversy. When the first results were released, it seemed that Swedish students had made significant gains in reading, math, and science. But behind the headlines, a debate was brewing about how representative the sample of students really was. In a new study, we used detailed […]
Stefan Johansson Teacher shortages are a growing problem in education systems worldwide, making job satisfaction a critical issue. Research shows that satisfied teachers are more likely to stay in the profession, which has a positive impact on students and school communities. In a recent study, we explored what drives teacher job satisfaction, focusing on the […]
Nurullah Eryilmaz The latest UNESCO Global Education Monitoring Report focuses on leadership in education, the requirements of a good leadership and how they vary between countries and over time. For this report, we provided a background paper that seeks to understand the relationship between supportive school leadership and crucial outcomes, such as teacher job satisfaction […]
Andrés Strello In the world of education, the debate over early tracking—the practice of separating students into different educational paths based on their abilities at a young age—remains heated. A recent study by Andrés Strello and colleagues, sheds light on how early tracking affects various forms of educational inequality and student performance. In the world […]
Nani Teig A growing body of research has investigated the effectiveness of inquiry-based teaching, such as by engaging students in conducting scientific experiments. Yet, this research abounds in conflicting findings: While some studies showed that this teaching approach is positively related to higher science achievement, others found negative or insignificant relations. What may cause the […]
Nani Teig Este artículo fue traducido al español por Edwin Cuéllar. Un creciente número de investigaciones ha estudiado la eficacia de la enseñanza reflexiva (o basada en la indagación), como el hecho de involucrar a los estudiantes en la realización de experimentos científicos. Sin embargo, dichas investigaciones abundan en hallazgos contradictorios: mientras que algunas mostraron […]
Nani Teig Eine wachsende Zahl von Forschungsarbeiten hat die Wirksamkeit des forschend-entwickelnder Unterrichts untersucht, z.B. durch die Einbeziehung von Studenten in die Durchführung wissenschaftlicher Experimente. Diese Forschung ist jedoch reich an widersprüchlichen Ergebnissen: Während einige Studien zeigten, dass dieser Lehransatz positiv mit höheren Leistungen in den Naturwissenschaften zusammenhängt, fanden andere negative oder nicht signifikante Zusammenhänge.

Despite the importance of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), not enough students are interested in pursuing a STEM career. Moreover, among the few students who do show an interest – and do pursue a STEM career – the proportion of women is small.
A pesar de la importancia de la ciencia, la tecnología, la ingeniería y las matemáticas (STEM, por sus siglas en inglés), no hay suficientes estudiantes interesados en seguir una carrera STEM. Además, entre los pocos estudiantes que sí muestran interés y estudian una carrera relacionada a STEM, la proporción de mujeres es pequeña.
Trotz der Bedeutung von Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik (MINT) interessieren sich nicht genügend Studenten für eine Karriere im MINT-Bereich. Darüber hinaus ist der Anteil an Frauen unter den wenigen Studierenden, die Interesse zeigen – und tatsächlich eine MINT-Karriere einschlagen – gering.
