Two important features in Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) education are integration and solving real world problems. Despite the efforts to promote STEM education awareness and interest among students and teachers, documented studies on how to explicitly integrate the existing STEM subjects curriculum standards in solving real wor...

Implementing culturally responsive education is possible by incorporating story-telling into science teaching and learning. It can be viewed as one way to present new scientific concepts or information that may be complex or difficult to comprehend. This study uses a local Malay folklore story, 'Hang Tuah dan Keris Tamingsari', alongside a hands-on...

The idea of grasping the science lesson through the lens of culture is not new in developed countries as compared to developing and underdeveloped countries. However, the exploration is limited because the exam-orientation in the schooling system converged the science lesson to be curricular-confined. The folk tales, for instance, embodies narrativ...

The integration of makerspace principles presents a promising avenue for educators to implement impactful STEM project-based learning initiatives. To this end, a three-day workshop entitled "Introductory STEM Makerspace Workshop – Learning Through Making" was conducted for lower secondary science teachers, with a particular focus on electric circui...

Purpose — This case study compares the actual and intended learning processes during the implementation of a science project through integrated STEM education as a learning approach. It also determines the implementation process’s strengths and limitations. Method — The data collection method was mostly through classroom observation and document ex...

Purpose and Research Question-Makerspace can be described as a physical place where participants can create and co-create knowledge as well as physical or digital products or a making mindset that can be applied to classrooms, homes, or other places. It can support the existing school-based curriculum such as STEM project-based learning or after sc...

The use of Augmented Reality in the Teachers’ Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework is one of the systematic approaches to enriching students' experience in a science classroom. A study was conducted to explore teachers’ TPACK in Augmented Reality abilities. This article aims to identify science teachers’ level of TPAC...

This study was conducted to establish the validity and reliability of the evaluation questionnaire for the 12 th Regional Congress of the Search For SEAMEO Young Scientist (SSYS) 2022 using the Rasch Measurement Model that was aided by the Winsteps software. The questionnaire contains 24 items that evaluate the Congress's objectives, inputs, as wel...

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in the formal school curriculum can be described as a STEM-related individual subject; as a learning package offering learning pathway for STEM elective subjects and as an integrated STEM learning approach. This study focuses on the needs assessment of STEM education as a learning ap...

Students' feedback about their classroom learning environment can be used to provide information about the strengths and problems that need to be addressed. This study assessed the students' perceptions of their biology learning environment. The difference between male and female students' perceptions of their learning environment was also investig...

Integrated approach in learning STEM education promotes critical thinking, collaboration and creativity and have the advantage in making STEM subjects more relevant, increasing the motivation in learning and improving students’ achievement and perseverance. The role of the teacher is crucial in integrating the STEM concepts and skills, instructions...

Despite the growing number of resources, references, and support groups in integrated STEM education, there is a need to evaluate the implementation of these programs in school to identify the strength and problems for further improvement by the teachers and school administrators. This case study describes the evaluation of the implementation of a...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a needs assessment study to identify the gaps in STEM education among the lower secondary school students in Sandakan in the development of a STEM education module. The needs assessment of this study consists of two phases. Phase one involved the analysis of document to derive the desired performance objectiv...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the application of CIPP (Context, Input, Process and Product) evaluation model as a framework to guide the planning, development and implementation of the integrated STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) module. The review of literature is employed to compare the context-relevance of three clos...
