Abstract

Integrating interactive e-module to train critical thinking skills in the Merdeka Curriculum era relies heavily on needs analysis. The Merdeka Curriculum requires a holistic and applicable approach to teaching, utilizing the STEM approach as one of its foundations to achieve this goal. The research consists of three stages: planning, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Using a descriptive quantitative research method, the researchers collected data from 28 teachers through questionnaires, interviews with five teachers, and document studies. The research focuses on chemistry and ICT teachers who teach in SMA/MA Balikpapan. The objective is to identify students' learning difficulties with atomic structure material and nanomaterial advantages and teachers' needs for interactive e-module and readiness to use them. The study's results indicate that, according to a recent study, 77% of teachers believe that students struggle with the material, while 81% of teachers require interactive media to aid in teaching. Additionally, 83% of teachers are prepared to use interactive media and help students overcome obstacles. These findings offer valuable insights into how teachers can better facilitate STEM-based learning in the Merdeka Curriculum era. Thus, this research can contribute to developing more adaptive interactive e-module, promoting students' critical thinking skills, and supporting the vision of the Merdeka Curriculum in creating relevant and contextualized learning in the era of science and technology development.

Abstract

In the twenty-first century, parents face the most intense competition in raising gifted kids with high STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) quality who are prepared to take on difficulties, and kindergarten is the foundation for this holistic life of the child. However, there can be no meaningful social development without parental involvement in the child's STEAM education.  The current study examines how parents view STEAM education for young children in Asmara, Eritrea's St. Joseph STEAM-integrated kindergarten to ensure healthy social development. The study used mixed techniques to identify parents' perspectives toward STEAM education and how it affects their kindergarteners' academic and social/emotional growth. It also investigated the barriers that prevent parents from becoming involved in their children's education. The quantitative data was gathered from thirty parents (n=30). On the other hand, semi-structured interviews with fifteen parents involved them. The results showed that in the kindergarten used in the case study, parents were seen as being involved at home and paying for the child's transportation and school expenses. Furthermore, it was discovered that parents encourage their kids' social and emotional growth. In addition, the study discovered a few characteristics that influence parents' perceptions of STEAM education in kindergarten, including a lack of STEAM education knowledge and awareness, a lack of time for a child's follow-up, low parental income, low educational attainment, and a lack of someone to watch the other kids. Furthermore, the current study recommends further research that incorporates various types of kindergartens with different parents to enrich the data on parental perception of STEAM education in Eritrea.

Abstract

Kite is a traditional game with many mathematical concepts, making them applicable in ethno-STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)-based learning. Therefore, this research explores the mathematical concepts inherent in kite flying related to ethnomathematics and STEM education. This research employs a qualitative exploratory approach. Data are collected through three methods: documentation, observation, and interviews. After collecting data, a descriptive analysis is conducted, including data reduction, presentation, and verification. Based on the data analysis, the mathematical concepts in kite-making include geometry, measurement, area and perimeter calculations, ratios and scales, patterns and symmetry, and arithmetic. Kite-making can be applied in ethno-STEM-based mathematics learning as it aligns with the current curriculum and adheres to STEM learning principles. Therefore, kite-making can serve as a tool for mathematics education, making learning more meaningful, enjoyable, interactive, and contextual. This research exploration suggests that numerous mathematical concepts can be further examined in ethno-STEM-based learning. Additionally, this research highlights the connection between mathematics and the socio-cultural context.

Abstract

Science learning assessment has always been challenging for science middle school teachers, especially when assessing students' scientific inquiry skills, which are essential to the science learning process. The study aims to highlight the challenges teachers confront when assessing high school pupils' capacity for scientific inquiry. It is a qualitative phenomenological study using thematic analysis techniques. Five middle school science teachers from junior high schools in Central Java participated in this study. Utilizing interviewing approaches, data was gathered. Using Clark Braun's thematic analysis methodologies, data analysis is carried out in four steps: (1) identifying the data, (2) performing coding, (3) creating themes, and (4) reviewing and defining the themes. This study shows that both internal and external factors might affect teachers' ability to undertake scientific inquiry research. The issue of obstacles teachers confront from the perspectives of students and learning systems is summarized by external variables. The researchers advised science teachers to engage in active, ongoing competence development to help them overcome challenges in evaluating scientific inquiries.

Abstract

The demand to prepare future science educators for national board examinations necessitates teacher training institutions to assess the licensure competence of pre-service teachers. In the case of the Philippines, the Licensure Examination for Teachers or LEPT has new competencies, which have not been fully assessed on the perspective of pre-service teachers. In this, the researcher assessed and compared the self-reported competence of alumni (a, n=38) and ongoing pre-service teachers (o, n=43) of a large state university in the Philippines. To do this, the researcher developed a survey-questionnaire with contents based on the Enhanced Table of Specifications or TOS for LEPT which was first implemented in March 2023 in the Philippines, the survey was conducted during the 1st semester of S.Y. 2023-2023. Results revealed that the pre-service teachers (n=81) have high level of competence for the LEPT. Further, the level of competence of alumni is comparable to those of on-going students. However, a significant difference was found in competencies related to Challenging Activities in Science, Assessment Tools, Basic Biotechniques, and Waves and Optics, where alumni demonstrated a significantly higher competence. To provide continuity for the findings, the researcher proposes a review program for Filipino pre-service teachers based on the findings. Furthermore, the researcher recommends that a content-competency alignment will be conducted between the Enhanced TOS of LEPT and the latest relevant issuances on Policies, Standards and Guidelines (PSGs) for Education degree programs issued by the Commission on Higher Education. Moreover, a curriculum mapping is recommended between the Enhanced TOS and the MATATAG Curriculum for Science. To provide an international perspective, the researcher recommends an analysis of licensure competencies for teachers among ASEAN countries.

Abstract

Organizing STEM activities based on scientific inquiry and engineering design processes is recommended for competency-based education in many countries, including Vietnam, to develop vital 21st-century practices. However, one of the challenges in the scientific inquiry process is the lack of equipment for conducting experiments. Therefore, there is a need for cost-effective and flexible instrument initiatives that students and teachers can design, create, and operate on their own. Additionally, real-world contexts like designing experiments for studying are also essential to engage students in engineering design processes. With its open-source platform, user-friendly interface, and limitless creative potential, Arduino is a valuable tool for STEM education. Hence, this study aims to develop Arduino-based experiments and suitable lesson plans to facilitate the implementation of STEM lessons following scientific inquiry and engineering design processes. In this study, we have proposed three Arduino-based experiments, followed by instruction plans, that students can build through engineering design processes to study several Physics concepts. The results show that microcontroller systems combined with common sensors are a low-cost yet effective approach with acceptable accuracy, allowing students to quantitatively and professionally investigate the relationship between physical quantities. In addition, 21st-century practices such as STEM literacy and design thinking are also concentrated in the context of working with the solutions for STEM problems.

Abstract

Local wisdom-based interactive digital module is an alternative teaching material developed to provide students with meaningful learning and experiences. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Local wisdom-based interactive digital module on students' critical thinking skills. This study applied a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design involving 74 students who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group and the control group. Learning in the experimental class used local wisdom-based interactive digital module, while learning in the control class used conventional teaching materials such as publishers' printed books. The results of the prerequisite test analysis show that the data are normally distributed and homogeneous. Furthermore, the data were analyzed through an independent sample t-test, which explained that applying Local wisdom-based interactive digital module could significantly improve students' critical thinking skills for all indicators. Module with attractive display innovations equipped with pictures, videos, audiovisuals, and quizzes in presenting content and local wisdom can stimulate students' motivation, curiosity, and analytical and evaluation skills to train the use of students' critical thinking skills in learning.

Abstract

This study highlights the significance of prioritizing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education from the early stages of learning as a crucial step towards achieving inclusive and sustainable STEAM education. The study adopted a critical discourse analysis (CDA) and an allegory method entitled 'The Ancient Multi-Story Building'. The CDA involved studies, reports, and news on STEM-related and STEM initiatives in Ghana. The findings revealed a substantial gap in early childhood and primary education STEAM initiatives, largely due to prevailing misconceptions about these levels of education. The allegory of the 'Ancient Multi-Story Building' further explains the adverse impact of this gap by metaphorizing the flawed approach of initiating and investing in upper-level STEAM education while neglecting the lower-level years, much like a village constructing a multi-story building focusing on the higher floors without solidifying its base; obviously, the results will be disastrous. Similarly, the findings show that previous STEM-related initiatives in Ghana focusing on upper-level education have often been inclusively ineffective. The allegory further points out that the few students who thrive in these lopsided STEM-related pathways are typically those from affluent backgrounds with the necessary support. The study indicated that starting STEAM education in the early years of education has the potential to promote gender equity, cultivate critical thinking skills, and develop a positive attitude towards STEAM subjects among all young learners. This study, therefore, lays the groundwork to propose a strategic framework for early childhood and primary STEAM education in Ghana and other similar contexts.

Abstract

Assessing how could an educator catch up with the evolving world necessitates the need to assess the skills he or she possess for such a future. This study sought to assess the level of competence of graduate science teachers in the Pangasinan State University across 17 future skills. Also, it aimed at correlating the level of competence of science graduate teachers across gender, age, and academic levels. The study was carried out using a cross-sectional descriptive survey under the quantitative research design. The quantitative data garnered were analyzed using descriptive statistics via SPSS version 25.0. The results of the study show very high competence in four future skills (communication competence, reflective competence, Initiative and Performance Competence, and cooperation competence) and high competence in the remaining thirteen future skills. Also, based on the computed p-values there was no significant relationship observed in all of the 17 future skills in relation to gender and academic levels of respondents. All future skills remained the same across age levels except Doctoral-level graduate teachers who had higher levels of self-competence than master-level graduate teachers. The results of the study suggest that future skills may be consciously integrated across the postgraduate curriculum of Higher Education Institutions to help develop industry-driven graduates who are prepared for the world of work.
