Abstract

Student enrollment in STEM-related disciplines is low across the nation. Students from rural locations with little access to STEM enrichment programs and marginalized demographics should be especially aware of this. This study aimed to investigate how students perceive on STEM Fair and how gender, age, experience, and needs relate to its requirements. The study's population was made up of students from different Phnom Penh schools. There were 242 pupils in the sample. This quantitative study explored students' perceptions of STEM and the effects of the STEM Fair on them. The study employed questionnaires to assess students' interest, knowledge gain, and social self-efficacy. Student participants at the STEM Fair provided survey responses. SPSS 22 was used for data analysis. First, it was discovered that students' perceptions of STEM were characterized by a greater number of constructive and positive comments than unfavorable ones. It is possible that a bigger percentage of positive items in the research sample will signal or guarantee an improvement in participants' impressions of STEM fair. Second, a Chi Square test for independence was used to examine the relationship between the criteria of the STEM Fair and three specific characteristics: gender, age, and experience. The Chi Square results showed that there was insufficient proof to connect the three components to the requirements of the STEM Fair. The information supplied here supports the findings that STEM Fairs increase positive attitudes about STEM and increase STEM knowledge, yet the following useful recommendations are made for future STEM study.

Abstract

The social-scientific problem (socio-scientific Issues) is a controversial social problem that has a link to the concept or procedural of science. Learning about socio-scientific issues can promote scientific literacy by linking science to everyday life and society. This study aimed to explore and analyze students' attitudes toward Socio-scientific Issues after being given basic chemistry using the SOIE Learning model (Strengthening, Orientation, Investigation and Evaluation) in SSI's context, and Conventional models. This research conducted during one semester of a basic chemistry course in the chemistry education department in Universitas Negeri Makassar, Indonesia, with sixty-eight chemistry students. We carried data collections out using survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Data analyzed using SPSS's Independent t-test programs version 22 and tested with interview data. The results showed that there was a difference in attitudes towards significant socio-scientific issues between students taught using SSI's contextualized SOIE model and conventional models. More than 70% of students taught using SSI's contextualized SOIE model showed a more positive attitude toward SSI when compared to students taught with conventional models. The results showed that the SOIE learning model in SSI's context could be used to develop a student's attitude to socio-scientific issues in chemistry learning. Through the implementation of the SOIE learning model with SSI context, expected besides improving chemical literacy, students are also more concerned about environmental issues because of the impact of scientific-social phenomena.

Abstract

The REACT strategy (Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating, Transferring) is indispensable in STEM education, as it cultivates critical thinking, experiential learning, and practical application, all of which are foundational to effective STEM pedagogy. This research evaluates the effectiveness of the REACT (Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating, Transferring) strategy with the STEM approach versus traditional learning methods on flat surfaces in  shapes, specifically regarding students' comprehension of concepts. The study utilised pre-test and post-test experiments with two groups: an experimental class and a control class - selected randomly through the Randomised Pre-Test Post-Test Control Group Design approach. The research was conducted on grade VIII students of MTsN 2 Kediri. The VIII-A experimental class employed the REACT strategy with the STEM approach, while the VIII-C control class used conventional learning models. The N-Gain Score testing method evaluated the increase in students' comprehension of the mathematical concepts. The findings revealed that the experimental class had an average N-Gain Score of , while the control class had an average score of . The average score for comprehending mathematical concepts for the experimental and control classes was , respectively. The independent sample t-test demonstrated that the experimental class achieved significantly better results than the control class. The student response questionnaires indicated that the REACT learning model received an average score of , categorised as "Good Response." The study concludes that the REACT strategy enhanced students' comprehension of concepts more effectively than conventional learning models.
