Systemic Design Thinking in Urban Farming I-STEM Teaching and Learning Module

Abstract

This study aims to develop an Urban Farming I-STEM teaching and learning module for STEM literacy and problem-solving skills through STEM integration by applying systemic design thinking into the Problem-Oriented Project Based Learning (POPBL) approach. This study was conducted in four phases to address the research questions, i) need analysis, ii) design and development, iii) experts' evaluation, and iv) usability evaluation by the users. Three experts and 30 students were involved in this study. The usability of the module was measured using a usability questionnaire consisting of three constructs. The first construct is effectiveness measured in terms of the effectiveness of modules for implementing STEM literacy. The second construct is competency which includes the competency of the module to integrate STEM and the third construct is satisfaction which is to measure the level of satisfaction with the use of the module. All constructs evaluated obtained high mean score values.
