The rise of women in STEM education: gender equality strategies and innovative teaching methods
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v8i3.5236
Abstract
Women's participation in global STEM education is gradually increasing but still faces severe challenges. Gender stereotypes, unsuitable educational environments, and workplace discrimination restrict women's full engagement. Promoting women's development in STEM is critical for gender equality and global innovation. The paper explores the existing context, driving factors and international strategies, and recommends inclusive policy measures and human-centered teaching practices to empower women in STEM fields.
Keywords
