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

Investigating the motion of solid particles in fluids analyzes the drag force experienced by the particles, depending on parameters such as particle diameter, fluid velocity, density, and viscosity. The Reynolds number, which expresses a fluid's inertia relative to its viscosity, governs the dimensionless drag coefficient, which is critical to understanding drag forces. Terminal velocity, achieved when the force of gravity equals the buoyancy and drag forces of the fluid, is a critical concept often analyzed using the Stokes model. However, differences between theoretical and experimental terminal velocities arise due to oversight of the model's application conditions. Numerical experiments offer controlled conditions to address this, helping predictions align with theoretical models. This research explores the influence of density ratio and particulate diameter on terminal velocity, aiming to support research-based learning for teachers and conceptual understanding for students. Numerical experiments designed by Arbie et al. (2021) investigated two-dimensional particulate configurations, allowing controlled manipulation of parameters. The results show a strong influence of the density ratio and diameter to the terminal velocity, with larger parameter values influencing the Reynolds number and giving rise to differences between theoretical and experimental values. Therefore, careful parameter selection is essential for viscosity experiments, aligning with the objectives and comparability of theoretical models.

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.
