This research begins with observations in schools that the learning process of mathematics has not fully achieved the learning objectives. Students 'interest in learning mathematics is still lacking and students' self-efficacy is still low. During the learning process, unsuitable teaching materials are used to solve these problems. From the existing problems, we need a new breakthrough that requires teachers to create appropriate teaching materials and be able to increase the self-efficacy of students. One of the breakthroughs referred to is by creating teaching materials in the form of Student Worksheets (LKPD) with the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning model. This study aims to develop teaching materials in the form of LKPD using the STEM learning model to improve students' self-efficacy.This research is a development research that uses a 4-D development model which consists of 4 stages, namely 1) define, 2) design, 3) development (development) and 4) disseminate (deployment). LKPD developed and validated by several experts. Furthermore, it was tried out to see the practicality and effectiveness of LKPD in class XI Clothing 3 at SMKN 6 Padang. Practicality is seen through the results of the student and teacher response questionnaire analysis. Effectiveness is seen through the results of the final analysis of the student self-efficacy questionnaire.The results of the validation of LKPD by experts found that LKPD with the STEM learning model was categorized as valid. The results of using LKPD by teachers are obtained by practical LKPD, while the use of LKPD by students is obtained by LKPD which are very practical. The effectiveness of LKPD is seen from the results of the final analysis of the student self-efficacy questionnaire, the results of the study show that LKPD with STEM learning models can increase student self-efficacy. Thus, it can be concluded that the LKPD with the STEM learning model developed is valid, practical, and effective.

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.

STEM is a learning approach that integrates science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the problem-solving based activities. The integration of the four scientific disciplines in STEM project activities uses the Engineering Design Process (EDP) stage. This stage is a cycle in the form of repeated steps and might change until a problem-solving solution is identified. The difference of elementary school students’ characteristics and stages of cognitive development as well as the absences of a specific STEM curriculum causes teachers who are new to STEM find it difficult in implementing the existing model. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the stages of the STEM learning model in accordance with the characteristics of teachers and students. This stage was developed with the aim of making STEM easier to apply and easily connecting problems with product development from the STEM project. The variation of the STEM learning model developed includes the stages: create, identify, ideate, plan, build, and communicate. The STEM Learning Model design developed will make it easier for teachers to implement STEM in classroom learning.

Background: The South African Department of Basic Education (DBE) aims to expand science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning in the national curriculum through a Digital Skills for All Curriculum (DSfAC) for Grade R – 9. The DSfAC intends to educate a STEM-literate future citizenry with refined computational thinking (CT), and coding and robotics skills. As with all learning, foundations are ideally laid when children are young and when they form habits of thinking that can ultimately serve as their first building blocks for successful learning. Current theoretical frameworks describe how teachers can include CT, coding and other STEM related constructs in their teaching. In the curriculum plan, a conceptual framework that underpins the design of teaching materials to support STEM literacy teaching, has, however, not yet been forwarded.Aim: Presenting a conceptual framework that has served as the design heuristic for a dialogue reading programme (DRP) for young children. The programme consists of three picture books, created to develop young children’s digital skills and related vocabulary as outlined in the DSfAC through story texts and pictures.Method: I implemented an iterative participatory approach to develop the conceptual framework.Conclusion: The development of teaching materials, like a DRP, should have its genesis in a confluence of three interdisciplinary components to develop a conceptual framework: (1) scientific research and theories; (2) an iterative participatory approach which involves teachers, parents, children, and other role players in the development process; and (3) systematic utilisation of existing examples of relevant teaching materials.

Self-efficacy of students plays a role in determining student success in learning, including learning mathematics. Affective aspects such as self-efficacy, play a major role when students work and use mathematics, because to be able to solve mathematical problems is not enough just to know how to do it, but must be accompanied by self-efficacy about the truth of the concepts and procedures they have. This research was conducted in two groups of students using an instrument in the form of a questionnaire to measure students' self-efficacy. Observation data collection techniques were also conducted to determine the learning process of the two groups. The results showed that groups of students who used active and cooperative learning had higher self-efficacy. Keywords: self-efficacy, mathematics, cooperative learning.

AbstractMathematics is fundamental for many professions, especially science, technology, and engineering. Yet, mathematics is often perceived as difficult and many students leave disciplines in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as a result, closing doors to scientific, engineering, and technological careers. In this editorial, we argue that how mathematics is traditionally viewed as “given” or “fixed” for students’ expected acquisition alienates many students and needs to be problematized. We propose an alternative approach to changes in mathematics education and show how the alternative also applies to STEM education.

The purpose of this paper is to describe how the effort to reduce misconceptions in Physics learning material using inquiry learning models. This writing is motivated by the large number of students who are still experiencing errors in understanding Physics learning materials. For this reason, efforts need to be made to reduce misconceptions in learning physics. The inquiry learning model can be used to reduce students' misconceptions. The method used in this paper is the study of literature by studying some literature to be analyzed and made conclusions. The results of this paper show that using inquiry learning models in the physics learning process can be a solution to reduce the misconception of material in the classroom. The inquiry learning model is applied to students where when the activity takes place the teacher is only a guide who directs the students then the students actively seek and understand the learning, generating ideas to find solutions in solving existing problems. Learning can increase student activity in the classroom so that not only accept all the material provided by the teacher but actively seek for themselves and there is openness where learning will facilitate the various hypotheses of students that must be proven and its truth openly.
