This study aims to improve basic questioning skills and student achievement through learning based on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This is a classroom action research that carried out in two cycles, each cycle consisting of two meetings. The subjects of this research were 30 fourth grade students. The data collection tool used evaluation tests, observation sheets for teacher and student activities, and observation sheets for students' basic questioning skills. The results showed that the application of STEM learning can improve students' basic questioning skills from the first cycle with an average of 2.48 to 4.45 in the second cycle. Students' mastery learning presentation also increased every cycle, from 70.44% to 96.66% for science lessons and 78.94% to 96.66% for Indonesian language lessons. The application of STEM-based learning gives good results and learning activities take place actively and pleasantly.

Interest in engineering education is growing, and libraries are often the hub of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning activities in schools and communities. To enhance patrons’ experiences, many libraries have incorporated making, maker, and tinkering spaces that support STEM learning and engineering thinking. Making, maker, and tinkering spaces generally include opportunities for patrons to have hands-on experiences with a variety of materials, technology resources, and design challenges that encourage thinking like an engineer. This type of thinking is “goal-oriented thinking that addresses problems and decisions within given constraints by drawing on available resources, both material resources and human capital.” Thinking like an engineer, making, and tinkering are all part of engineering design-based learning.

This was a Research & Development study which was simplified into two stages; they are the preliminary stage and the development stage.  This study resulted several kinds of instruments: lesson plan, worksheets, material lesson, teaching evaluation sheets, observation sheets, and questionares. The validity was very good with score 84,38 % for content aspect, 82,50 % for language aspect, and 82,14 % for display aspect. The instruments were very effective to be used by elementary teacher education students and lecturers in the simple machines material to describe the STEM profile’s teacher education students. The instruments could practically be used by the elementary teacher education students and lecturers for the simple machines material based on the positive elementary teacher education students and lecturers responses. Students' science ability increased 27.20%, technology ability increased 23.36%, engineering ability increased 55.20%, and mathematics ability increased 81.80%. The effectiveness of learned was shown by the success of the lecturer in designed learning. The learning design got score of 100 from both expert. The developed learning device is practically used by students and lecturers for simple machines material based on positive responses of students and lecturer. The practicality of learning tools based STEM is shown from the implementation of learning. The percentage of student activities during STEM learning was 75.79%, it showed that student activities during learning including the good category and the teaching ability of lecturers got average score 97,73.

Kindergarten Curriculum

The following work is devoted to the description of an innovative approach to kindergarten learning through the application of the methods of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, better known as STEM learning. The aim of the work is to increase popularity of the approach and stimulate teachers to implement it more often in the learning process. STEM increases children’s knowledge and skills, thanks to the interdisciplinarity, research approach, learning by playing, learning by doing, project-based and problem-based learning and the opportunity for touching to real-life situations. This paper addresses the main principles of STEM and the possibilities for realization different STEM situations, based on the kindergarten curriculum. Different digital tools are described, like programmable toys and devices and LEGO constructors. Various ideas for conducting experiments are presented, too. They are useful for increasing children’s motivation and interest in the approach. An example version of a plan for work on a STEM project is proposed, which includes the steps for its implementation and which is adapted to the expected learning results in the kindergarten.

This chapter presents a case study involving the fictional Coastal University’s move to the next level of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) student achievement by applying a holistic approach to educating the STEM student using a learning community. Learning communities are designed to improve retention rates, increase student learning and achievement, increase faculty engagement, and lessen the feelings of isolation some students feel on large campuses. This case discusses the various components that were utilized to enhance the learning community including cluster courses, seminars, branch activities, academic progress assessments, and meetings. The challenges with the implementation of the learning community and the engagement in interdisciplinary activities will be discussed as will recommendations for the future.

Missed Opportunity

The majority of students who enroll in undergraduate biology courses will eventually be employed in non-STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) business occupations. This work explores how representations of industry in undergraduate biology textbooks could impact STEM learning for these students and their ability to apply this learning in their chosen work. We used text analysis to identify passages with references to industry in 29 textbooks. Each passage was categorized for relevance to health or environment, for implied positive or negative connotations, and for descriptions of synergy or conflict between science and industry. We found few passages describing applications of STEM learning in non-STEM business occupations and a paucity of content to support context-based learning for students aiming at business careers. A significant number of passages embodied negative connotations regarding industry. Notable passages highlighted irregular or fraudulent business practices or included simplistic caricatures of business practice. We discuss how the representation of industry in these textbooks may impact student engagement, context-based learning, the ability of students to critically apply STEM learning in industry or business occupations, and heuristics that guide intuitive perceptions about the intersection between science and industry.

K 12

Jeannette Wing’s influential article on computational thinking 6 years ago argued for adding this new competency to every child’s analytical ability as a vital ingredient of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning. What is computational thinking? Why did this article resonate with so many and serve as a rallying cry for educators, education researchers, and policy makers? How have they interpreted Wing’s definition, and what advances have been made since Wing’s article was published? This article frames the current state of discourse on computational thinking in K–12 education by examining mostly recently published academic literature that uses Wing’s article as a springboard, identifies gaps in research, and articulates priorities for future inquiries.
