Engagement with NSTA Resources

Keeping Connected with Developments in Science and STEM Education

The International Journal of Research in STEM Education (IJRSE) is committed to remaining informed about current developments, emerging perspectives, professional practices, and scholarly discourse in science and STEM education.

As part of this commitment, IJRSE follows and draws professional awareness from the resources, publications, position statements, professional learning activities, and developments disseminated by the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA), one of the established professional organizations serving the science education community.

NSTA provides a broad professional platform encompassing science and STEM teaching and learning, research-informed professional development, instructional resources, publications, standards-related resources, conferences, and professional discourse. Engagement with these resources helps IJRSE remain attentive to evolving issues and priorities within contemporary science education.

Supporting the Scholarly Direction of IJRSE

IJRSE values engagement with developments in the wider international science and STEM education community as an important part of maintaining the relevance of its scholarly scope.

Awareness of professional developments disseminated through NSTA contributes to the journal's continuing attention to areas such as:

  • contemporary science and STEM teaching and learning;

  • research-informed educational practices;

  • teacher professional learning and development;

  • science literacy and scientific practices;

  • curriculum, assessment, and instructional innovation;

  • emerging technologies in science and STEM education; and

  • evolving challenges and opportunities affecting science educators and learners.

This engagement complements IJRSE's broader commitment to international scholarly literature, research communities, professional organizations, and developments relevant to STEM education.

Independent Scholarly Position

IJRSE's engagement with publicly available NSTA resources is undertaken for professional awareness and scholarly development. References to NSTA on this page do not imply institutional affiliation, endorsement, partnership, or representation unless such a relationship is explicitly established and formally stated.

IJRSE maintains its own editorial independence, aims and scope, peer review procedures, and publication standards.

Through continued engagement with developments across the science and STEM education community, IJRSE seeks to ensure that its scholarly direction remains current, internationally informed, research-oriented, and responsive to the evolving landscape of STEM education.
