科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教育和教学领域面临着严重的人力资源短缺，特别是在环境科学学科方面。本研究收集了来自美国140名职前和在职的转业教师的访谈和焦点小组数据，并分享了他们的职业决策和决策过程。这项研究的结果表明，参与者认为教育下一代是他们投身教育和教师职业的首要任务。许多人表示，非常需要具有专业和行业经验的STEM教师群体。这项研究的结果为研究人员、学校领导、政策制定者和人力资源规划者提供了蓝图，以改革和完善他们目前的教师培训和专业发展计划，以解决STEM教育和教学领域的劳动力问题。
The science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and teaching field is facing significant human resources shortages, particularly in the subject matter of environmental sciences. The current study collected interview and focus group data and sharing from 140 pre-service and in-service second career-changing teachers in the United States about their career decision and decision-making process. The results of this study indicated that the participants believe educating the next generation is their priority of joining the education and teaching profession. Many expressed that the populations of STEM teachers with professional and industry experiences are greatly needed. The outcomes of this study provided the blueprint for researchers, school leaders, policymakers and human resources planners to reform and polish their current plans for teachers training and professional development in order to solve the workforce issues in the fields of STEM education and teaching.
