Indonesian Science Teachers’ Views on Attitude, Knowledge, and Application of STEM

Year 2020, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 17 - 31, 15.03.2020
https://doi.org/10.17478/jegys.647070

Abstract











This study
aims
to describe Indonesian science teachers’ views on STEM attitude, STEM knowledge, and STEM application. The
survey method was used in this study.

Ninety-three
Indonesian science teachers at junior
high schools in Indonesia
from four of 11 provinces with the
largest number teachers such as Lampung, Banten, Jawa Tengah, and Jawa Timur
were surveyed. The instrument in this study consisted of 30 items. The
quantitative analysis was performed to address the level of three domains such
as
STEM attitude, STEM knowledge, and STEM application.
The results show
ed that Indonesian science
teachers’ views are
very good on STEM attitude (=4.68), moderate-level
category
on STEM application
(
=3.99), and low-level
category
on STEM knowledge (=3.72).
It can be concluded that Indonesian
science teachers believe that they
have
very good STEM attitude, moderate-level category on STEM application, and low-level
category
on STEM knowledge. These findings recommended to science teachers or science educators in
Indonesia to promote STEM Education in the national curriculum especially in
science subject
to improve STEM attitude, STEM knowledge, and STEM application of Indonesian
science teachers.
