Abstract

STEM is a learning approach that can enhance students' mathematical skills by linking mathematics with science, technology, and engineering, thereby increasing students’ motivation. This study analyzed teachers' understanding and the challenges they face in implementing STEM-based mathematics instruction. A phenomenology-informed qualitative study explored the experiences of 12 mathematics teachers across six provinces in Indonesia: West Java, Central Java, East Java, Yogyakarta, West Sumatra, and West Nusa Tenggara. Data were collected through online interviews and analyzed using the Bogdan & Biklen technique, including data reduction, axial coding, theme determination, and conclusion and interpretation. The results indicate that teachers view STEM-based mathematics as a means to connect subjects, develop critical 21st-century skills, and apply knowledge in real-life contexts. They implement STEM through project-based, interdisciplinary lessons that increase student engagement, despite challenges such as time constraints, curriculum demands, and differences in student readiness. Effective STEM instruction relies on professional development, school support, and sufficient resources to enable teachers to integrate STEM concepts confidently into mathematics teaching. These findings highlight the importance of providing structured guidance, adequate teaching materials, and policy support to enhance teachers’ capacity to deliver STEM-based mathematics effectively, bridging theory and practice for meaningful student learning.

Abstract

This mixed-methods study, employing correlation analysis, investigated the impact of the internal quality assurance (IQA) system at a leading university in Indonesia. Drawing on data from Internal Quality Audits (AMI) conducted across eleven faculties and institutional units, the research aimed to evaluate institutional performance and identify areas for enhancement. Using a four-point rating scale, descriptive analysis revealed the highest mean scores in Mission (3.86), Governance and Leadership (3.86), Education (3.82), and Finance, Facilities, and Technology (3.77). These findings indicate institutional strengths in strategic direction, organizational performance management, and resource sustainability. Analysis at the faculty level revealed notable variations. For instance, overachievement was observed in specific units (e.g., FBSB, FIPP) and particular selection criteria (e.g., FISHIPOL – Teaching), while the PPGPPI Directorate achieved maximum scores across all indicators. Conversely, lower mean scores were recorded for Community Service (3.58) and Tri Dharma Outputs (3.41), both rated "Very Good," suggesting potential shortcomings in external engagement and research impact. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis identified two primary clusters of significant positive correlations: one among strategic, governance, financial, and output indicators (r = 0.887–0.944; p < 0.01), and another among supporting academic dimensions. The study contributes empirically grounded insights to inform quality policy development. It recommends implementing benchmarking of best practices to enhance community engagement and establishing continuous professional development programs for faculty to strengthen overall institutional quality.
