Abstract

Education is evolving rapidly to keep pace with a world increasingly driven by technology. Traditional teaching methods often fail to adequately prepare students for today’s challenges. This study looks at STEAM education, which brings together Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math, and how it can help students in Timor-Leste develop important skills like critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, and flexibility. Using a review of existing data, including national policies, reports from international organizations, and successful examples from countries like Finland and Singapore, the study examines key areas such as curriculum, teacher training, school resources, digital tools, and policy support. The results show that STEAM education can make learning more engaging and effective, but Timor-Leste faces problems like limited resources, not enough trained teachers, and no clear national plan for STEAM. To improve this, the study suggests a careful, step-by-step approach that fits Timor-Leste’s needs and supports fair and lasting changes in education

Abstract

Many social science students at the Instituto Católico para a Formação de Professores (ICFP) Baucau, Timor-Leste, face difficulties when studying natural science in their second year because of their different academic backgrounds. This study aims to explore strategies that make natural science learning more accessible and engaging for these students. Using a literature review of recent research, the paper examines teaching methods that enhance motivation and understanding. Key approaches include hands-on experiments, clear explanations, interactive activities, and the use of real-life examples connected to students’ social and cultural contexts. The findings show that when science lessons are simplified, contextualized, and linked to practical experiences, students become more motivated and confident in their learning. These strategies not only improve comprehension but also make science more meaningful for learners from non-science backgrounds. The study provides recommendations for teachers at ICFP Baucau to design inclusive and engaging lessons that support social science students in successfully learning natural science
