Current education research makes a strong case for STEM teaching that is informed by the history and philosophy of science and math. See the resources below to start exploring the pedogical rationale for integrating HPS into STEM education:
Resources on the History and Philosophy of Science in STEM education
Journals emphasizing the role of history in STEM education
Professional societies supporting history in STEM education
