背景先前的努力已经建立了一个有效的本科STEM课程的知识基础，但实施率仍然很低。来自高等教育，管理，通信和其他领域的理论可以通知改变的努力，但仍然在很大程度上无法访问的STEM教育领导者，谁是刚刚开始查看变化作为一个学术奋进通知的研究literature.PurposeThis article介绍了目标，假设和基本逻辑选定的变化战略与潜在的相关性STEM高等教育设置为目标受众的变化代理人，范围/方法本综述根据亨德森，海滩和芬克尔斯坦（2011）开发的四类变革战略模型进行组织。我们描述了与STEM教育变革工作潜在实际相关的八项战略（每类两项）。对于每一个变化的战略，我们提出了一个总结与关键的参考，讨论其适用性STEM高等教育，提供一个STEM教育的例子，并讨论影响变革的努力和research.ConclusionsChange代理人的指导下，往往是隐含的，由一个单一的变革战略。这八项战略将扩大变革推动者的全部能力，帮助他们从更加多样化的角度考虑变革。变更代理可以使用这些描述来设计更健壮的变更工作。当变革代理人使用共享模型（如本文中所介绍的模型）重新编写他们关于变革计划的文章时，变革战略的知识和理论基础将会得到改进，从而使他们关于变革的基本假设更加明确。
BackgroundPrior efforts have built a knowledge base of effective undergraduate STEM pedagogies, yet rates of implementation remain low. Theories from higher education, management, communication, and other fields can inform change efforts but remain largely inaccessible to STEM education leaders, who are just beginning to view change as a scholarly endeavor informed by the research literature.PurposeThis article describes the goals, assumptions, and underlying logic of selected change strategies with potential relevance to STEM higher education settings for a target audience of change agents, leaders, and researchers.Scope/MethodThis review is organized according to the Four Categories of Change Strategies model developed by Henderson, Beach, and Finkelstein (2011). We describe eight strategies of potential practical relevance to STEM education change efforts (two from each category). For each change strategy, we present a summary with key references, discuss their applicability to STEM higher education, provide a STEM education example, and discuss implications for change efforts and research.ConclusionsChange agents are guided, often implicitly, by a single change strategy. These eight strategies will expand the repertoire of change agents by helping them consider change from a greater diversity of perspectives. Change agents can use these descriptions to design more robust change efforts. Improvements in the knowledge and theory base underlying change strategies will occur when change agents situate their writing about change initiatives using shared models, such as the one presented in this article, to make their underlying assumptions about change more explicit.
