This chapter proposes that software design using software with programming capabilities, such as Classroom Suite, is a good activity for gifted students to increase their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills while designing appropriate learning activities for all students, including those with disabilities. The chapter describes design techniques that gifted students can apply during the development, offers as an example the design process for one of the authors' own Classroom Suite instructional games, and concludes with a description of several other games designed by the authors as further examples of the kinds of instructional software that gifted students can develop for students with disabilities using Classroom Suite.

Community Service aims to determine the ability of students in the Implementation of Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Based on Entrepreneurship of Dumbo Catfish Cultivation with Bioflok and Feed Media made by Palm Kernel Oil (BIS). P2M activities are conducted at Pekanbaru Purnama Middle School through Extracurricular learning activities from March to June 2019. Participants are 20 students consisting of 4 groups. The method of using the STEM approach with the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model consists of 3 stages, namely: 1. Preparation: bioflok making training, feed making and seed procurement; 2. Implementation: treatment, maintenance, supervision and collection of growth data, operational costs: 3. Analysis of entrepreneurial economic data and STEM capabilities. Instrument for collecting growth data and operational costs using logbooks and observation sheets. Data on STEM and Entrepreneurship Capabilities using Student Worksheets. Data on fish growth and operational costs, then percentage, were scaled, tabulated and analyzed descriptively. The results of STEM abilities were obtained namely Science ability with a score of 80 (good category); Engineering 50 ability (less category), Technology ability with a score of 60 (sufficient category) and Mathematical ability with a score of 65 (sufficient category). Entrepreneurial economic analysis with a score of 75 (sufficient category) and 50% of participants get a profit of 30% from catfish production within 3 months.

This study proposes and tests a theoretical model of how perceptions of disposition, engagement, and efficacy of teachers for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) e-learning can predict their sense of vitality when they designed STEM education. Upon the proposition, we developed and validated an instrument for examining the relationships between these variables. The participants were 122 secondary teachers of STEM education from Hong Kong. The instrument included four design aspects as follows: (i) disposition, (ii) lesson design engagement, (iii) efficacy for designing STEM e-learning, and (iv) vitality of teachers after attending a series of STEM professional development activities. To analyze the relationships among the variables, partial least squares structural equation modeling was employed. The disposition of teachers predicted lesson design engagement and both of these factors, in turn, predicted efficacy for designing STEM e-learning. In other words, if teachers have a high proposition toward designing learning activities, their engagement in the lesson design process may enhance their capacities in designing and implementing such activities. Also, the disposition of teachers and lesson design engagement predicted their vitality, revealing that well-suited STEM teachers should not only be able to design a STEM curriculum but also have a positive perception of STEM education.

According to official statistical data, people with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) occupations and students with disabilities are underrepresented in STEM degree courses. This chapter surveys official reports produced by British and American authorities, as well as a number of media sources, in order to substantiate this claim. The authors' aim is to uncover the reasons behind disabled students being underrepresented in STEM courses and to sketch the vision for the future of disabled young people who may be interested in perusing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Integrated Program

As a nation wrestles with the need to train more professionals, persons with disabilities are undereducated and underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The following project was proposed to increase representation of students with disabilities in the STEM disciplines. The program emphasizes an integrated program of interventions for college students with disabilities (SwD) majoring in STEM which centers on a system of continuous student monitoring with rapid access to academic and personal services, as well as professional development and degree enhancing experiences supplied during the entire period of college attendance.

Design Challenges

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.

Model Approach

Abstrak. STEM Research Center telah mengembangkan beberapa modul dengan pendekatan model STEM berbasis Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) dan telah berhasil mengimplementasikan pada sekolah umum di Aceh. Modul yang telah dikembangkan selanjutnya akan diterapkan kepada siswa penyandang disabilitas tunarungu di SMALB YPAC Kota Banda Aceh. Penerapan model pembelajaran menggunakan STEM berbasis ISLE yakni didasarkan pada kegiatan observasi dan diskusi berkaitan dengan empat bidang disiplin ilmu yakni sains, teknologi, enjinering dan matematika. Modul pembelajaran yang dikembangkan terdapat dua kegiatan belajar, yaitu kegiatan belajar yang berkaitan dengan eksperimen pengamatan dan kegiatan belajar yang berkaitan kegiatan eksperimen sederhana dengan menguji kebenaran hasil prediksi. Rangkaian listrik dinamis yang diberikan adalah rangkaian sederhana yang dipasangkan secara seri dan paralel. Untuk alat peraga listrik dinamis yang digunakan, pengamatan tidak mengalami permasalahan. Siswa dapat mengikuti lembar kerja modul ISLE dengan baik. Proses diskusi dalam kelompok masih dapat dilakukan, namun terdapat masalah dalam hal mengkomunikasikan ide-ide antar kelompok.Abstract. STEM Research Center has developed several modules with the ISLE-based STEM model approach and has successfully implemented them in regular schools in Aceh. The module that has been developed will then be applied to students with hearing disabilities at YPAC High School Banda Aceh City. The application of the learning model uses the ISLE-based STEM which is based on observation and discussion activities related to four fields, namely science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The learning module developed has two learning activities, namely learning activities related to experimental observations and learning activities related to simple experimental activities by testing the correctness of the predicted results. A given dynamic electric circuit is a simple circuit that is paired in series and parallel. For dynamic electric props used, the observation does not experience any problems. Students can follow the ISLE module worksheets well. The discussion process in groups is still possible, but there are problems in communicating ideas between groups.Keywords: ISLE based STEM module, Deaf, Dynamic electricity
