This edited volume examines the intersection of research and practice in STEM education by presenting empirically grounded examples developed by research groups across Europe. Bringing together contributions from researchers and practitioners, the book investigates how STEM approaches can be meaningfully integrated into diverse educational contexts. The chapters address critical gaps in research-based evidence on STEM pedagogy, the epistemological underpinnings of STEM education, and the design of innovative curricula and pedagogical models that support teacher professional development. Collectively, the volume offers a comprehensive resource that advances scholarly understanding of STEM education while providing educators with research-informed insights to enhance student engagement and learning in real-world settings.
