Focus and Scope The International Journal on Research in STEM Education (IJRSE) aims to facilitate multi-disciplinary research and development by publishing empirical contributions that combine subject content expertise with educational and technological endeavors. IJRSE provides a unique platform for researchers and educators to share their findings on various topics, including designing and implementing technology-rich learning environments, innovative pedagogies, and curricula in STEM education that foster successful learning in areas of teacher education and beyond. We encourage contributions from scholars across different subject content fields (e.g., natural science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) as well as the broader fields of mathematics and science education. These contributions may address specific challenges in improving students achievement, approaches used to motivate and engage students, and lessons learned from curriculum and instructional changes in STEM education. Additionally, the journal welcomes translational STEM education research that bridges the gap between research, educational policy, and practice to enhance STEM education. IJRSE also features conceptual papers, article reviews, and editorial articles, enriching the spectrum of research in STEM education. These contributions deepen our understanding of educational training curricula and pedagogical practices across diverse education systems worldwide. This approach fosters scholarly exchange and facilitates discussions on emerging issues and cutting-edge research in the field of STEM education.

Abstract

The objective of the study is to determine the improvement of student learning outcomes through the media Magic Box (Magic Box) Based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) on the concept of addition. The subject of the research was class I students in one of the Public Schools in Surakarta City Semester I of 2018/2019 Academic Year as many as 24 students, consisting of 7 male students and 17 female students. The method of the study was Classroom Action Research (CAR) with patterns: planning, implementing, observing, reflecting, and revising. The data were collected by using discussion, observation, tests, field notes, and documentation. Based on the results of the study, it was found that student learning outcomes had increased from cycle I to cycle II. The cycle I was 70.83%, and cycle II was 91.66%. The conclusion of the study is by using instructional media teaching aids Magic Box (Magic Box) Based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) on the concept of addition theory can improve student learning outcomes in first-grade elementary schools in Surakarta City Semester I in the Academic Year of 2018/2019.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how social media, in this case, a Facebook group as Blended learning incorporated in teaching at Islamic Higher Education in Indonesia. Sixty-five EFL students participated in this study. The content of cross-cultural and responses in this closed group was analyzed to identify the patterns of interaction, and their responses to e-journaling through a Facebook group. The findings revealed that the students responded positively to this activity and promote the student's sense of the uniqueness of his own culture as a positive value and enables the students to accept the uniqueness of the other cultures. The power of sharing and learning from other students encourages understanding and appreciation of other cultures.

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology has changed instructional conveyance. Advancement recorded in information assembling, teaching, and learning collection has given teachers new devices to work with, subsequently the upheaval in the field of training. This study examined computer literacy among Science, Technology, and Mathematics (STM) instructors in Colleges of Education. Discoveries show that the degree of computer proficiency among STM instructors is low. The explanation behind this incorporates few available skillful instructors, insufficient ICT tools in schools, computer phobia, access to Personal Computers (PCs)/PC labs, and absence of ICT devices for STM training. Proposals were anyway made that will help improve the degree of proficiency among STM instructors.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the challenges facing the administration of STEM Education in Gwgwalada junior secondary schools of FCT, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey design. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaires titled:' Challenges facing Administration of STEM Education Questionnaire” (CFASEQ).The sample for the study comprised of 200 teachers. A simple random sampling method was used to select the sample. One hypothesis and three research instruments were used for the study. Test and retest were employed to determine the reliability of the instrument. Simple percentages were employed to analyze the data collected and a chi-square test was used to test the hypothesis. The study revealed that challenges are facing the administrations of STEM Education in Gwagwalada junior secondary schools and these challenges include; inadequate infrastructural facilities, shortage of science teachers, lack of instructional materials, lack of motivation, inadequate fund, poor supervision, high population, poor capacity development program for science teachers and negative attitude of students towards STEM education. The result also revealed that100% of the respondents agreed that the implications of the challenge facing the administration of STEM Education are responsible for poor implementation of STEM education in Gwagwalada junior secondary schools of FCT, Nigeria. From the finding, it was recommended that the government increase the funding of education and give more priority to STEM Education.

Abstract

Brain plasticity takes an essential part in the learning process and memory retaining. Brain plasticity is connected with myelin sheath development and oligodendrocyte plasticity. Dynamic myelination is attained through certain learning activities. Oligodendrocyte plasticity means changes of oligodendrocyte precursor cell number either increasing or decreasing. This review aims to reveal what learning style is better in optimizing learning capacity by understanding dynamic myelination, brain plasticity, oligodendrocyte plasticity, and learning process. The review paper was based on journal reading. Keywords for literature searching are "Learning, myelin, brain, plasticity, oligodendrocyte" with filters in the last 5 years in the PubMed website. Pubmed was considered as one of the qualified journals. It doesn't rule out the possibility of using another journal that is not listed in PubMed. Result showed 36 articles. Other citations were added based on the previously selected journals. The learning process is closely related to encoding. Making schema while learning new objects are very useful in increasing oligodendrocytes cells number. The paper limitation is it didn't describe how the learning process might improve school performance and success in later life. There isn't any comparison about how each learning activity has an unequal effect on dynamic myelination, brain plasticity, and daily life skills improvement. This review paper's significance is myelin was not static, but it is dynamically changed through learning activities, new experiences, musical, or even practical training. Exposure to a new environment in the learning process will improve myelination and optimize learning. Learning new things is good for our brain because it will prevent dementia.
