Abstract

Teachers are the main agent to ensure the integration of STEM approach in Early Mathematics education at the preschool level is successfully implemented.  This study determines the extent to which the preschool teachers are ready to teach Early Mathematics based on STEM approach. This study also aims to determine the relationships of knowledge, interest and teaching attitude with teaching readiness among preschool teachers. The research used a descriptive and quantitative design that involved 253 preschool teachers selected using stratified random sampling from five districts in Sabah, namely, Sandakan, Telupid, Ranau, Tuaran and Penampang. Data obtained from questionnaires were analyzed with IBM SPSS version 26.0 using Pearson Correlation. Findings of the study showed that the preschool teachers perceived teaching knowledge and readiness highly but teaching interest and attitude were perceived moderately. The relationships of knowledge, interest and teaching attitude with teaching readiness were positive and significant but the strength of correlation differs whereby knowledge correlated highly with teaching readiness but interest and attitude correlated poorly with teaching readiness for Early Mathematics based on STEM approach. These findings encourage more efforts to improve teaching interest and attitude through intervention such as provision of extrinsic compensation, implementation of continuous teacher professionalism development program that focuses on digital media and sophisticated technology usage as well as creation of conducive school culture. These strategic efforts are hoped to enhance knowledge, interest and attitudes of the preschool teachers and carry out their responsibilities in realizing STEM education to teaching Early Mathematics.

Abstract

The Study aims to achieve the following objectives: 1. To integrate religious and cultural values into education, which can influence the character development of students in Indonesia and Malaysia; 2. To analyze forms of elaboration on Islamic religious education based on religious and cultural values that can be applied to character development in Indonesia. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a comparative study design. It was conducted in several schools in Indonesia and Malaysia that implement religious education based on religious and cultural values. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with teachers, school principals, students, and parents, as well as direct observation in the schools. Secondary data were collected from curriculum documents, school annual reports, academic publications, and related literature. Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis to identify key themes and comparative analysis to compare findings from both countries. The findings reveal that: 1. The integration of religious and cultural values in religious education in both countries plays a significant role in shaping students' character. In Indonesia, local cultural values such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong) and patriotism are integrated with Islamic religious education to create a holistic curriculum. In Malaysia, Malay cultural values are combined with Islamic teachings to impart moral and ethical values. This integration has proven effective in fostering moral and ethical character development among students in both countries. 2. The study also found that for character development, more elaborate approaches are needed, such as developing an integrated curriculum, conducting culture-based extracurricular activities, enhancing teacher competence, and utilizing technology in learning. Furthermore, the study recommends strengthening cooperation between Indonesia and Malaysia in the field of religious education to share experiences and best practices, as well as developing more flexible and contextual education policies in line with societal dynamics and contemporary developments.
