Current Issue
We are delighted to announce a new issue of the Nordic Journal of STEM Education: Volume 9, Issue 1.
What can I find in the latest issue?
We feature seven new research articles, and our first in the new “Teaching Tools” category. These articles were contributed by our colleagues in Norway, Sweden, and the United States, and represent a range of diverse interests and disciplinary foci. Three (Persson, Berglund and Krause, Gjerde) discuss the incorporation of video assignments—either instructor- or student-created—and three (Berglund and Krause, Costello et al., Abrahamsen et al.) discuss assessment forms. Lindström Månefjord et al. share interesting findings from their work on implicit bias in STEM education, and Rotondo et al. present a form of gamification in engineering education. In the Teaching Tool, Brustad shares two forms of active learning intended to help students better see the value in programming.
What is going on at NJSTEME?
We continue to improve our workflow, appearance, and communication. We are also interested in expanding our reach to better cover work throughout the Nordics. We recently met with colleagues in Helsinki to learn more about their LUMAT journals, and to discuss future collaborative opportunities. You can help by sharing NJSTEME, especially articles you find interesting, with your networks. Our authors have worked hard to see this work through to publication…let’s amplify their efforts. You can also find us at Bluesky as @njsteme.bsky.social.
We also will be offering a “Writing for NJSTEME” workshop at the upcoming MNT Conference in May 2025 in Trondheim, Norway. We hope to see many of you there!
Thank you for reading this information, and for your patience as we work to improve the Nordic Journal of STEM Education.
All the best,
Sehoya Cotner, Oddfrid Førland, and the Library Team at NTNU
Research articles
The Nordic Journal of STEM Education is a scholarly peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing in the broad field of educational research and development in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) higher education. We invite contributions that address pedagogical, educational, and academic developments or studies. Nordic perspectives are our main focus. However, articles with a wider scope will be considered if the authors have positioned them to be relevant to issues in Nordic STEM higher education.
NJSTEME invites contributes classified as both the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER).
