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 Teaching Process Applying the Flipped Classroom Model in Teaching Science Subjects Oriented Towards Developing Self-Learning Capacity for Primary School Students

The integration of the flipped classroom model into education has led to significant changes in both teaching and learning activities in various ways. Studies have shown that the most frequently reported advantage of the flipped classroom is the improvement of student learning performance, resulting in numerous positive educational outcomes. Recognizing the benefits that the flipped classroom model brings to education, this paper presents a teaching process that applies the flipped classroom model in Science education, aimed at developing self-learning abilities for elementary school students. This model alters the traditional teaching sequence by shifting the knowledge acquisition phase to self-study at home, while classroom sessions focus on practical activities and interaction. The research developed a specific 5-step process to effectively implement the flipped classroom model in the topic “Human and Health” within the Grade 4 Science curriculum. The results indicate that applying this model not only helps students acquire knowledge effectively but also fosters self-learning capacity, self-management skills, and a sense of responsibility in learning.

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.
