STEM Project Approach to the Topic of Sustainable Development Goals Through Online Meeting on Students' Self-regulation

Abstract

The research aimed to study the effect of science learning using STEM project on Sustainable Development Goals Through alternative online application approach of the grade 10th to 11th students at Satreethungsong School, Thungsong District, Nakhonsrithammarat Province. The sample on this study was the Science and Mathematics students who were interested in the competition of YIC2021 or Young Inventors Challenge. The study was held on the 1st semester; Academic year: 2021 with a class of 25 students. The sample was chosen by purposive sampling method with the students' registration. The students were instructed by using STEM project approach for 2 hours per week every Sunday throughout the 1st semester (between April to September 2021). The research instruments consist of 1) lesson plans for the STEM project approach with 5E inquiry learning on Sustainable Development Goals 2) self-regulation test with the reliability of 0.86 and 3) The researcher's notes. The experimental research was conducted using one group pretest- posttest design of self-regulation test. The data was analyzed by percentage. The research findings were summarized that the students who attended to study the Topic of Sustainable Development Goals and learned through STEM project approach had posttest mean scores on self-regulation scores higher than pretest scores at the 0.05 level of significance. The student got average gained score on self-regulation from 69.24 to 75.12 increased 5.88%. The students can learn and gain knowledge by themselves via self-study. They can share the information, experience with friend in group and others. Then they can help and solve problems for learning together. Moreover, the students can create their innovation for SDGs to the competition completely. They gain the motivation and inspiration on learning with STEM Project. They have seen the valuable of themselves and others. Finally, the students tend to have good attitude toward studying Science Mathematics Engineering and Technology led them learn with an happiness.
