## Resource

Series 8 Episode 4: 10 Graduate and Doctoral Research Topics in STEM for 2026 (Topics 7 & 8 of 10 key research areas) - In the fourth episode of this series, we continue exploring the most important educational research topics in STEM & STEAM graduate and doctoral students might want to consider in 2026. In this episode we explore educational research topics in STEM related the need to more fully understand how STEM/STEAM educators and educational systems interact and/or collaborate at the international level through meta-analysis, policy/organizational examination or other internationally based case analyses at the macro level of educational research. This episode also examines the importance of localized place-based studies needed in rural, remote and linguistically diverse small communities where the traditional more urban focused STEM or STEAM curriculum needs to be collaboratively and inclusively re-aligned for small and remote communities. Inclusive and collaboratively based site specific case studies are discussed for graduate students interested in rural and remote place-based educational research.
