Taking a future-oriented approach, this book addresses students' ways of thinking in STEM-based problem solving. It provides a rich set of chapters that explore how we can advance important thinking skills in STEM education for K-12 students.

STEM education is essential to understanding and solving many of the world's major challenges. However, the kind of interdisciplinary modes of thinking required to tackle such unforeseen problems is lacking in most STEM education delivery. The book examines the various modes of thinking that can be applied to effective STEM-based problem solving across K-12 education. The modes include design and design-based thinking, systems thinking and modelling, critical thinking, innovative and adaptive thinking, intuition in problem solving, and computational and algorithmic thinking. Across the chapters, the authors' interdisciplinary perspectives give further depth to understanding how students learn and apply their thinking to solve STEM-based problems. The book also provides guidance on how to assess ways of thinking in STEM education, to ensure educators can recognize students' progress and development.

Bringing together a team of international experts, this book is essential reading for pre-service teachers, teacher educators and researchers in STEM education.
