Getting Started in Pedagogic Research within the STEM Disciplines (HE STEM)This guide edited by Michael Grove and Tina Overton has been developed for those looking to begin pedagogic research within the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Its purpose is to provide an accessible introduction to pedagogic research along with a practical
guide containing hints and tips on how to get started. The guide was produced following a series of national workshops and conferences that were started in
2011 by the National HE STEM Programme and continued in 2012 with the support of the Higher Education Academy.

This is a key factor influencing drop-out from STEM degrees and a targeted provision for mathematics support is a proven way to counter this. It includes cases studies from the Universities of Coventry, Portsmouth, York.
