The scientific method was actually defined in many different ways up to the contextual of learning. This study is to implementing scientific method to strengthen the scientific attitude: A case study of Class 8 students in the subject of Biology. The main objective of this research is on how the implementation of Scientific Method affects scientific attitude of grade 8 students in Biology. The samples of this study involved with18 students for observation and 3 students for interviewing. The students were chosen from class8 for data collection. The data analyzing in this research was used Thematic Analysis method with the variation of observation. Based on the observation, the students were not familiar with the scientific method yet at the first time of class compared with the last observation, students processed activities at higher level. All of the criteria of scientific attitudes were contributed. Moreover, the result from interview is supported to the improvement of students’ scientific attitudes by implementing scientific method. Therefore, it can be concluded that, the implementation of scientific method imposed scientific attitudes in the classroom. The findings identified that scientific method strengthen students' scientific attitude toward learning such as: curiosity, honesty and objectivity, critical resonating, open minded and cooperation, and responsibility. The further research should apply scientific method for a longer period to make students to be familiar with the method. Moreover, the researcher should spend more time observing or interviewing teachers to get the result more accurately.

STEM education is a learning approach that integrates sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics, and it’s an important tool that successfully educates students from a variety of national and cultural backgrounds for improving students’ learning activities and learning outcomes. The aims of this research are 1) to investigate the effectiveness of STEM project to improve students’ creativity and 2) to examine the effectiveness of STEM project to enhance students’ learning outcomes in the concept of circulatory system. The quantitive research was used for this research, and the data was analyzed by using SPSS. The participants of this study were students 8th grade in biology subject in concept of circulatory system. The 36 students were divided randomly into two group. It was found that student groups’ product on the average value obtained 77.77% which was categorized as a good creativity level. Moreover, according to the students’ post-test result on circulatory system, there was a significant difference between the control group and the experiment group. Thus, the students of STEM project obtained learning outcomes higher than Traditional method. In conclusion, the STEM project has a positive effect to enhance students’ creativity and learning outcomes.

Self-directed learning is significant to empower learners to take ownership of their learning, particularly in fostering positive behavioral learning attitudes, enhancing autonomy, and improving academic performance. This study examines its impact on teacher trainees' behavioral learning attitudes by: (1) analyzing changes after self-directed learning intervention, (2) assessing its overall impact, and (3) exploring trainees’ perceptions of their experiences. In the research, the study involved 83 first-year teacher trainees. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, a questionnaire, and focus group discussions. Quantitative data were analyzed using a Paired-Sample T-Test and Multiple Regression, while qualitative data underwent Thematic Analysis. Findings shown a significant improvement in behavioral learning attitudes following self-directed learning with Self-directed learning was found to be a significant predictor (B = .544, p < .001), indicating that higher levels of self-directed learning led to higher post-test scores in behavioral learning attitudes. The approach strongly influenced overall behavioral learning attitudes, as teacher trainees perceived it as enhancing their self-regulation, learning engagement, persistence, proactive learning, and help-seeking behavior. The study concludes that self-directed learning is an effective instructional approach for fostering positive behavioral attitudes. These findings suggest integrating self-directed learning model into teacher training programs to promote autonomy and engagement. Future research should examine its long-term effects on professional development.

Research activities provide an important aspect of graduate students, and it promotes critical thinking, reasoning and rational decision making among the researchers. However, doing research is not easy for students; especially, students who has never conducted research. This study aimed to highlight challenges of student teachers facing with action research implementation. Cross-sectional descriptive research was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire via google form distributed to 184 student teachers from primary and lower secondary in 12+4 program in Phnom Penh Teacher College (PTEC). The questionnaire consisted of two sections with questions aimed at collecting demographic data and data regarding perspective of student teachers towards difficulties of the student-researchers. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 22. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated. The results show that student teachers had many challenges on research knowledge and skills. These challenges derived from student-related challenges, mentor-student challenges, and institution-related challenges. The study suggested that student teachers should have more training on practical research skills, rather than theory, proposed to conduct other topics beside teaching and learning method, more follow up student teacher’s research progress, action research in Khmer language should be promoted through PTEC lecturers, and research written format should be specific and unique, not often be changed.
