Abstract

The modern educational system has recognized the significance of STEM as a vital component of students' preparation for a promising future. Consequently, there is a need for comprehensive research in STEM education, encompassing an understanding of its context, challenges, and strategies to overcome these obstacles. Ongoing research continues to focus on developing coherent studies in this area, particularly emphasizing effective STEM pedagogy, which has proven to positively impact students' learning outcomes. However, despite its potential, STEM education faces several challenges that could impede its progress. In the scope of this study, a thorough examination revealed at least six key challenges confronting, these challenges encompass: pedagogical challenges, curriculum-related issues, structural complexities, student apprehensions, assessment concerns, and the critical need for teacher support. These challenges, along with proposed solutions, are discussed in-depth in this article. It is worth noting that pedagogical challenges hold paramount importance, as teachers play a pivotal role in implementing successful STEM education in schools. As such, this article delves into various effective pedagogical aspects that can facilitate the advancement of STEM education and foster enhanced learning experiences for students. Several key aspects contribute to effective pedagogy in STEM education and learning, including: (a) cultivating an innovative learning environment that nurtures inquiry, experimentation, and critical thinking; (b) utilizing a diverse range of authentic learning methods and relevant educational resources; (c) facilitating a collaborative learning environment that encourages teamwork and knowledge sharing; (d) creating an inclusive learning environment that accommodates the diverse needs of students; and (e) encouraging continuous reflection on and improvement of teaching practices to optimize learning outcomes.

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into science education is transforming teaching and learning by offering innovative solutions to complex challenges. This study aims to review current trends in AI utilization, particularly ChatGPT, and explore its potential to improve problem-solving in science education. A systematic literature review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines, complemented by experiential exploration and qualitative insights from a thermodynamics lecturer. The findings highlight AI’s ability to provide accurate explanations, generate diverse educational materials, and support interactive learning. However, limitations were identified, including inaccuracies in handling advanced or ambiguous problems and the potential for overreliance by students. Technical and ethical challenges, such as infrastructure requirements, educator preparedness, and concerns about bias, were also noted. These limitations underscore the importance of human oversight and critical evaluation of AI-generated content. The study recommends enhancing AI’s contextual understanding, visualization capabilities, and adaptability to individual learner needs. By harmonizing AI-driven innovations with traditional teaching methods, educators can leverage these tools to create inclusive and effective learning environments, advancing the transformative potential of AI in science education.
