Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM, previously SMET) is an education grouping used in the United States, and elsewhere. The acronym refers to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.〔https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42642.pdf〕 The term is typically used when addressing education policy and curriculum choices in schools to improve competitiveness in science and technology development. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.〔 The acronym arose in common use shortly after an interagency meeting on science education held at the US National Science Foundation chaired by the then NSF director Rita Colwell. A director from the Office of Science division of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists suggested the change from the older acronym SMET to STEM. Dr. Colwell, expressing some dislike for the older acronym, responded by suggesting NSF to institute the change. One of the first NSF projects to use the acronym was STEMTEC, the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Teacher Education Collaborative at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which was funded in 1997. ==Other variations== * eSTEM (environmental STEM) 〔(eSTEM Academy ), retrieved 2013-07-02〕〔(''Arbor Height Elementary to implement "eSTEM" curriculum in coming years'', West Seattle Herald, 4-30-2013 ), retrieved 2013-07-02〕 * (iSTEM ) (invigorating STEM) Australia * (METALS (STEAM + Logic) ), introduced by Su Su at Teachers College, Columbia University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=METALS: Why Logic Deserves First Order Status in STEAM )〕 * MINT (mathematics, information sciences, natural sciences, and technology); a less common term with a similar meaning. MINT is used more often in Germany. * STREM (science, technology, robotics, engineering and mathematics); adds robotics as a field. * STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics); adds the arts as a field for a more holistic view.〔http://www.steamedu.com〕〔http://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/print-edition/2012/08/17/full-steam-ahead-as-stem-discussions.html?page=all The Business Journal〕〔http://www.opb.org/news/article/stem-to-steam-uses-art-to-teach-science-skills/ Oregon Public Broadcasting〕〔http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/02/04/christopher-dickey-around-the-world-in-six-ideas.html Newsweek〕〔http://articles.philly.com/2013-05-15/news/39284270_1_trabian-shorters-south-philadelphia-black-men Philly Inquirer〕〔http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57583954-1/techno-circus-brings-robots-lasers-to-the-big-tent/ CNET〕〔http://www.wired.com/geekmom/2011/11/stem-to-steam-the-importance-of-arts-in-science/ Wired〕 * STEAM (science, technology, engineering and applied mathematics); more focus on applied mathematics〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Virginia Tech and Virginia STEAM Academy form strategic partnership to meet critical education needs )〕 * STREAM (science, technology, religion, engineering, art, and mathematics); adds both religion and arts.〔National Catholic Education Association〕 * GEMS (Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science); used for programs to encourage females into these science fields.〔(National Girls Collaborative Project http://www.ngcproject.org/program/gems-girls-engineering-math-science )〕 * STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
