About the Journal

Aims

Hellenic Journal of STEM Education is an international journal and aims to contribute to new knowledge creation in the field and enhance understanding of ways in which STEM epistemology can improve education, through the publication of high-quality double blind peer-reviewed research. The Editorial team welcomes research papers on the STEM pedagogy, which combine theory and practice.

1. The aim of the HJ STEM Ed is to create a forum for open discussion of scientific research in the field of STEM education.

2. HJ STEM Ed publishes original articles on the latest trends in STEM pedagogy occurring internationally in STEM curriculum including  learning and teaching using the STEM epistemology, policy reforms in STEM education, training of teachers in STEM pedagogy, with the aim to enhance our knowledge of what is STEM content epistemology and what are the STEM practices in the classroom.
