A resource pack for gender-responsive STEM education
Currently, girls and women are significantly underrepresented in STEM-related fields of study and work across the world; since girls and women make up 50% of the world's population, there is an urgent need to encourage their participation in STEM fields. This Resource Pack is part of the Malaysia and the IBE project, ‘Strengthening STEM Curricula for Girls in Africa and Asia and the Pacific—Phase I', under the Malaysia-UNESCO Cooperation Programme (MUCP) through the Malaysia-Funds-in-Trust (MFiT). The Resource Pack is comprised of six modules designed to be a practical guide for developing gender-responsive STEM education:
- Gender and Sociocultural Practices in STEM Education
- Formulating Policies for Gender-Responsive STEM Education
- Developing Gender-Sensitive STEM Curricula
- Creating Gender-Responsive STEM Pedagogy, Learning and Assessment
- Teacher Education and Teacher Professional Development to Support Gender-Sensitive STEM Curricula and Gender-Responsive Pedagogies
- Developing Gender-Sensitive STEM Resources
- Raising Community Awareness and Commitment to Policies that Promote Gender-Responsive STEM Education
