Abstract

The United States is the country of origin, advocacy and development of STEM education. Around 2012, the research on STEM education began to increase gradually in China's education circle. At present, STEM has become a hot word in China's K-12 stage. Due to the different learning environment and development stage of STEM education, there are many problems in STEM education in China, such as lack of necessary top-level design, incoherence of curriculum system, lack of professional teachers and confusion of educational institutions. Through comparative analysis, this paper puts forward constructive suggestions on the implementation of STEM education in China.
