| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates managing students learning challenges through the integration of STEM (Science, Technology, and Mathematics) education for developing twenty-first-century skills in changing the global workforce. The study employed a survey research design. Two research questions were raised. Data were obtained using a structured questionnaire. The respondents for the study comprised 232 respondents, made up of 186STEM teachers and 46 principals. The reliability coefficient of the instrument yields α = .87, Using Cronbach Alpha. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions. The findings revealed skills needed in the 21st century include: the capacity for innovation and creativity skills; business intelligence and analytical skills; problem-solving and critical thinking skills and entrepreneurial skills. Challenges found in the study include poor preparation of teachers; lack of connection with individual learners in a wide variety of ways; lack of research collaboration across STEM fields. Recommendations made amongst others that government should consider a comprehensive integration of STEM curriculum towards preparing students for STEM careers by prioritizing teaching and critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork across subject areas. | en_US |
