Abstract

This article investigates the current state of the scope of science and technology within the STEM education field. It analyzes how these viewpoints impact the educational pathways of students in the STEM field. The study introduces STEM education, emphasizing its importance in contemporary education and industry, and clarifies the importance of science and technology viewpoints. Then, the article examines the historical backgrounds, present patterns, and the impact of these viewpoints on the education curriculum and teaching. The article thoroughly examines various aspects, highlighting distinctions, similarities, and interdisciplinary methods. It provides valuable insights and suggestions for improving the STEM education curriculum. The study provides insights for effectively incorporating these viewpoints into STEM education to affect students' academic and career trajectories.
