EDUCATION, EQUITY, AND ACCESS IN STEM AND STEAM TO SOLVE CHALLENGES
Abstract
This paper investigates the
intersections of education, equity, and access within the framework of STEM and
STEAM education in Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was adopted to explore
access and equity issues in STEM/STEAM education among Nigerian secondary
school students. Data were collected using a researcher-designed instrument
titled Education Equity and Access in STEM and STEM Questionnaire (EEASSQ).
Data were analyzed using both descriptive (mean, standard deviation) and
inferential (ANOVA, regression) statistics to assess relationships between
demographic variables and access to STEM resources. A multiple regression analysis
was conducted to examine whether students' access, gender inclusivity, teacher
support, and problem-solving skills could significantly predict school
location, whether urban, semi-urban, or rural. The study underscored the
necessity of aligning Nigeria's STEM strategies with global best practices,
while also responding to the nation's specific contextual realities. It also
highlighted the need for inclusive models that recognize and respond to
diversity in educational contexts.
Keywords: Education equity, STEM and STEAM
access, global challenges, inclusive education.
