对美国在全球经济中保持竞争地位的能力的日益关注重新引起了人们对STEM教育的兴趣。例如，2005年，美国三个杰出的科学团体--国家科学院、国家工程院和医学研究所--联合发布了一份报告，题为《战胜风暴：为美国创造更光明的经济未来而激励和就业》，呼吁加强从小学到中学后教育的STEM管道（国家科学院，2005年）。该报告建议增加对STEM项目的投资，加强STEM教学力量，扩大在STEM领域攻读学位和职业的学生人数。其他组织和政府机构也提出了类似的政策建议（政府问责局，2006;国家科学委员会，2007;美国教育部，2006）。
Introduction Rising concern about America’s ability to maintain its competitive position in the global economy has renewed interest in STEM education. In 2005, for example, three preeminent U.S. scientific groups—the National Academy of Science, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine—jointly issued a report, Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future, that called for strengthening the STEM pipeline from primary through postsecondary education (National Academy of Science 2005). This report recommended increasing investment in STEM programs, enhancing the STEM teaching force, and enlarging the pool of students pursuing degrees and careers in STEM fields. Similar policy recommendations have come from other organizations and government agencies (Government Accountability Office 2006; National Science Board 2007; U.S. Department of Education 2006).
