Abstract

The challenge of preparing students for technology has prompted educators to increase technology in public schools. Yet despite the increased availability of technology in schools, few teachers are integrating technology for instructional purposes. Teachers must be equipped with adequate content knowledge of technology to create an advantageous learning experience in classrooms. To understand teachers’ conceptions of technology integration, this research study explored definitions and importance of STEM education in technology and individuals’ attitudes toward incorporating technology int teaching. Through a qualitative analysis, we identified existing research gaps in the field, current challenges, benefits, and implication of technology integration in science teaching after instruction.

Abstract

Diversity and inclusion are vital organization priorities, as they connect clearly to organizations. Digital technology has revealed that it can connect individuals into successful teams with substantial benefits in promoting diversity and inclusion. This observation establishes the need to make sure complete entry to digital technology, regardless of economic, social, and cultural background. There was a significant positive impact when technology was used to promote diversity and inclusion. The findings of our rigorous investigation suggest that technology plays a vital role in promoting diversity and inclusion.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate the quality of a multiple-choice instrument for measuring fifth-grade elementary students' understanding of kinetic-to-electrical energy conversion concepts within a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) framework. The research employed a Design and Development Research (DDR) approach with systematic instrument development procedures comprising: literature review and blueprint development, item construction, expert validation, field testing with 28 fifth-grade students, and comprehensive psychometric analysis. The instrument consists of 20 multiple-choice items covering three knowledge dimensions: conceptual (5 items), procedural (10 items), and applicative (5 items). Content validity was established through expert review by three science education specialists, yielding a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.87. Item analysis revealed difficulty indices ranging from 0.35 to 0.85 (predominantly moderate difficulty) and discrimination indices ranging from 0.30 to 0.75 (good to excellent discrimination). Reliability analysis using Cronbach's alpha produced a coefficient of 0.82, indicating high internal consistency suitable for elementary school assessment contexts. The instrument demonstrates satisfactory psychometric properties aligned with standards for elementary science assessment and effectively integrates STEAM pedagogical approaches.
