Abstract

In order to improve the ability of physics student teachers (PSTs) to teach using the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) teaching model, this study applied the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) to determine the constituent items that need to be included in the process of constructing the STEM teaching model according to the characteristics of PSTs. A questionnaire through literature review and expert advice was prepared, which contained 17 items in three constructs, including eight items for cultivating students’ abilities, four for teaching strategy design, and five for the expected outcomes. Then, the questionnaire was distributed to 16 experts to collect opinions and suggestions, which were analyzed and ranked using the FDM. The findings showed that all 17 items passed the expert consensus, all the specialist consensus values above 75%, the threshold values (d) ≤0.2, and the fuzzy scores (A) ≥α-cut value=0.5. Within the framework of the study and based on expert consensus, it is necessary for the newly developed STEM teaching model for PSTs to incorporate all 17 items across three constructs. This would optimally enhance the PSTs’ ability to employ the STEM teaching model in their teaching instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the relationship between the level of metacognitive skills and the performance of form four students in solving mathematical problems at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Keratong, Bandar Tun Razak, Pahang. This correlational study involves 33 students from three classes selected as the study sample using convenience sampling techniques. Data were collected through questionnaires and a mathematical problem-solving test, then analyzed using descriptive and Pearson correlation statistical methods. The instruments used demonstrated a high level of validity, with a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 1.00 as assessed by four experts. Additionally, a pilot study showed that the instruments had high reliability, as evidenced by Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.89. The analysis revealed that students' overall metacognitive skill levels were high (M = 2.99, SD = 0.67). However, students' performance in solving mathematical problems was very low, with an average score of 34.47%. The findings also indicated a moderate and significant relationship between students’ metacognitive skill levels and their performance in solving mathematical problems (r = 0.43, p < 0.05). In conclusion, students with higher metacognitive skills tend to perform better in solving mathematical problems. The study highlights the need to incorporate metacognitive elements comprehensively into the mathematics curriculum to improve student performance, particularly in Mathematics.
