Evaluating the Effectiveness of Teaching the Topic “Energy” in Science Subject According to The STEM Education Model to Develop the Ability to Apply Learned Knowledge and Skills for Primary School Students

/in /by

This paper presents the findings of a study on the implementation of teaching the topic “Energy” in Grade 5 Science using the STEM education model, with the aim of developing primary school students’ competence in applying acquired knowledge and skills. Based on a competency-based approach and integrated teaching theories, the study designed a specific instructional process that combines scientific knowledge with practical experiential activities. The research was conducted in the form of a pedagogical experiment involving two groups: an experimental class applying the STEM model and a control class taught using traditional methods. The results indicate that the STEM model not only improved academic performance but also significantly enhanced students’ ability to apply knowledge in real-life contexts and fostered a more positive attitude toward learning. The study thus affirms the feasibility and practical value of applying the STEM education model to teaching Science at the primary level, contributing to the innovation of teaching methods aligned with the new general education curriculum.

The Process of Teaching STEM Application Oriented Towards Developing the Competence of Applying Learned Knowledge and Skills in Science for Primary School Students

STEM education encompasses four main areas: Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, which are important elements in the learning process of all students, especially in science and mathematics. An effective STEM education will help students better understand how things work and enhance their ability to use technology. The article presents the research results on a teaching method for the Science subject at the primary school level based on STEM education. The research focuses on designing a process for the topic “Energy” in Science. The process includes five main steps: defining objectives, establishing foundational knowledge, planning, implementation, and evaluation. This method not only helps students understand the knowledge but also encourages application through products such as a “mini movie theater.” The research demonstrates that this method is feasible, develops scientific competencies, and connects school knowledge with real life.
