The STEM Talent Cultivation Strategies of the United Sates——Comparison and Analysis Based on the Two Five Year Strategic Plans of the NSF
The National Science Foundation(NSF)has conducted extensive research on effective paths for cultivating STEM talents to enhance national research capabilities and maintain global leader-ship.Through a deconstruction and reconstruction of NSFs 2018 and 2022 strategic plans pertaining to STEM talent cultivation,this paper reveals that,over the past decade,the US placed the focus of its talent cultivation in STEM fields on establishing a research and innovation ecosystem to foster multifac-eted STEM talents,exploring the role of informal education in STEM talent cultivation,and promoting participatory research.It offers four valuable lessons for China to improve the cultivation of talents in science and technology in order to enhance innovation and national research capabilities in this field.1.Highlighting the role of government departments in planning and constructing an integrated system of"government-industry-education-research"to cultivate talents.2.Exploring the complementary role of non-formal ed-ucation and investigating the dual talent cultivation path of"formal education+informal education."3.Improving the"double-loop"pattern of science and technology talent cultivation by adhering to the strategy of strengthening education.4.Seizing the opportunity of AI development and developing data-intensive scientific talent cultivation in the long term.
