Concept cartoon teaching strategy have the potential to increase creativity and innovation as well as the students' interest in understanding concepts. It is considered as a method that encourages students to continue exploring the issues raised and seeking solutions. This concept cartoon lesson is very suitable to be applied in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics which is often regarded as an abstract and difficult field. Therefore, it is becoming a necessity to see how far the cartoon concept in learning has been implemented in schools. This systematic literature review analysis aims to focus on the similarities and differences such as the objective used, the methodology used and the findings of the study. The study article was selected through a database of various types of journals according to keywords. Keywords used in the search are Concept Cartoon AND comic AND Problem-based learning. The search has been limited between 2009 and 2017. A total of 9 studies have been selected to be analyzed based on the four steps in systematic literature review. The four steps included frame a question, run a search, read the abstract and tittle of individual papers and abstract information from selected set of final articles.  The results of the systematic literature review analysis can be concluded on recent research and previous research that cartoon concept teaching strategy is very effective in enhancing creative thinking as well as cultivating students' interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

ABSTRAKPendidikan abad 21 membutuhkan keterampilan berpikir yang meliputi keterampilan berpikir logis, analisis, kritis, dan kreatif. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) merupakan isu penting dalam pendidikan di Indonesia saat ini. Penerapan STEM dalam pembelajaran dapat mendorong peserta didik untuk mendesain, mengembangkan dan memanfaatkan teknologi, mengasah kognitif, manipulatif dan afektif, serta mengaplikasikan pengetahuan (Kapila & Iskander, 2014). Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui implementasi pendekatan STEM (manfaat dan tantangan) di Indonesia dengan  menggunakan metode Systematic Literatur Review. Jumlah artikel yang ditemukan sebanyak 56 artikel yang dianggap sesuai dengan tujuan penelitian kemudian dijadikan satu lalu dilakukan screening apakah judul pada artikel tersebut ada yang sama atau tidak. Setelah dilakukan screening didapatkan ada 30 artikel yang judulnya sama, dari 30 artikel ini kemudian di screening berdasarkan eligibility sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi didapatkan 25 artikel untuk selanjutnya dilakukan review. Pada sistematic review ini menunjukkan bahwa implementasi pendekatan STEM di Indonesia memiliki pengaruh yang cukup baik terhadap terhadap cara berpikir kreatif siswa, LKS, buku siswa dan menghadapi revolusi industri 4.0 ,literasi matematis dan implementasi STEM dengan robotika, dan juga persepsi guru terhadap pembelajaran STEM.KataKunci: Implementasi,Systematic Literatur Review,STEM

Analyzing the test scores of more than 10,000,000 students who participated in the Advanced Placement (AP) math exams from 1997 to 2019, this study examined the direction and magnitude of the trend in gender disparity by race in participation in and top achievement on AP Calculus AB, Calculus BC, and Statistics exams. The results of this study indicated that, in general, females’ representation in all three AP exams increased significantly. Although the findings indicated that the female-to-male ratios (FMRs) in participation in the AP math exams increased significantly from 1997 to 2019 and favored females for all races, the gender disparities among top achievers for all math exams are still substantial. The relationships between the FMRs in participation and top achievement for all AP math exams were also analyzed within races, and the possible impacts of these findings within the context of the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields were also discussed.

AbstractThis paper summarizes the talk given at this conference in which the cultural aspect of the low participation of women in science, mainly in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) areas, is emphazised. A few personal recollections will be presented and some some striking numbers to illustrate the current situation will be given. In addition, some thought provoking ideas on what is known as “neurosexism” are explicited and a tribute is made to three women that overcame the challenges posed to them in different times in history (including current times) and helped paved the way to the new generation. However, there is still a long way to go. The inclusion of women and of other relegated sectors of society in scientific and technological activities is an important pending issue which will be achieved when our society as a whole reaches the necessary cultural maturity.

In 1976, the challenges faced by women of color who pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields were first brought to national attention. Forty-two years later, the authors re-examine the challenges, barriers, and successes of women of color in STEM higher education. This chapter examines the landscape of the STEM professoriate through a literature review (journals, trade magazines, theses, and dissertations) and reflective shorts and quotes from women of color navigating the STEM professoriate. The literature review spans a 10-year period (2008-2018). Both the review and the reflections focus on the areas of STEM belonging, self-presentation, stereotyping, institutional racism, discrimination, and tokenism as challenges faced by women of color in the STEM professoriate. Additionally, mechanisms used by women of color to navigate and succeed despite these barriers, such as mentoring, are explored throughout.

<p>Women make up 47% of the total U.S. workforce, but are less represented in engineering, computer sciences, and the physical sciences. In addition, race and ethnicity are salient factors and minority women comprise fewer than 1 in 10 scientist or engineer. In this paper, a review of the literature is under taken that explores the many challenges women encounter when pursing a career in the sciences. It includes a review of the national landscape and discussion of the guiding general retention theories. Finally it proposes a conceptual framework for persistence and proffers a number of research questions designed to delve deeper into the under representation phenomenon.</p>
