Synopsis

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global educational landscape has undergone significant transformation, with digitalization advancing as a basis for contemporary learning paradigms. STEM Education in the Post-Pandemic Learning Space: Digitalization in Africa explores the dynamic connection between Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and the advancement of digitalization across the African continent. This edited volume brings together insightful contributions from academics, educators, researchers, and practitioners who explore the challenges, opportunities, and innovations that define this educational transformation.

From integrating digital tools, devices, resources, and platforms in remote educational environments to developing inclusive policies that bridge the digital divide, this book considers the complex influences of digitalization on STEM education in Africa. It features case studies, empirical research, and theoretical discussions that emphasize the adaptability of educational contexts in traversing unique times. This book will be an important resource for academics, educators, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners dedicated to embracing the power of digitalization to foster equitable, inclusive, and high-quality STEM education post-COVID-19.
