The European Journal of STEM Education is an academic international journal that publishes original research related to STEM education. The aim is to contribute to scholarly understanding of teaching and learning practices and policies in the area of STEM, as well as to contribute to the improvement of educational practices. The journal is an open access, double blinded peer reviewed journal. You may expect peer-review and publication as long as academic standards are met. New articles are published after acceptance in one continuing digital issue each year. Additionally, there are special issues on various topics. EJSTEME welcomes studies and reviews that may be empirical or reflective in character. There are no specific methodological guidelines, except that the method of investigation should be in concordance with the research questions. Articles may focus on formal and in-school education, from early childhood and pre-school education to well into university and vocational schooling and to continuous professional development. They may also focus on learning in informal and out-of-school settings and on co-operation with the community, science centres, businesses, or other organizations. EJSTEME accepts articles from all over the world. The fact that the journal is based in Europe, with its forty-plus countries and a multitude of educational systems and practices regarding STEM education, should remind authors not to take their own situation and curriculum for granted, but to write for an international audience that may be unfamiliar with this system. STEM education can be a ‘fuzzy concept’, and the educational rationales for STEM education can be quite different across countries and within various academic circles. In EJSTEME, we regard STEM to be an inclusive concept that includes all disciplines and domains that deal with the material world. EJSTEME focuses on teaching and learning of STEM content. This means that we do not aim to publish studies on the use of (digital) technology in education as such. Examples are the use of GenAI in education, or hybrid teaching formats. If what is taught and learned with AI or in hybrid formats falls in the domain of STEM, we will certainly consider reviewing and publication. If not, we will suggest submitting to a journal on educational technology. We welcome articles that focus on classic school subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and design & technology. STEM also comprises geology, health, f
