Meta-Analysis of STEM Education Approach effected on Student’ Creative thinking skills in Thailand

Abstract

The objective of this research synthesis is to synthesize research about STEM Education Approach effected on students’ creative thinking skills in Thailand. Period of published research papers from 2010 until 2019 in education field. The related literatures used in this study were chosen from Thai Digital Collection and Thailand Library Integrated system by using the meta-analysis research method. The research tool used was the synthesis record form. Research results can be summarized as follows; They are 10 STEM Education researches, were frequency published in 2017 (80%), the most researchers were female who studied in master degree of Science Education at Rajabhat Mahasarakham University. The most research objectives were about to study and to compare achievement and creative thinking skills of students by using STEM instruction model with Science content. The most research instruments were lesson plans and creative thinking skills measurement form. The most samples were purposive sampling of lower secondary school students with experimental research design. The effect size (d) of research = 0.307 indicating that the STEM instruction model has a positive impact on students’ learning achievement more than control group.

Comparison of the nature of cultural integration with university curricula / Estudio comparativo de las características de la integración cultural en el currículum

“…American researchers have proposed that the STEM education model be transformed into a network that expands communication and interchange between universities (Santangelo et al, 2021). In addition, the study of subjects provided by the STEM education model contributes to the development of creative thinking through an interdisciplinary approach, increasing the interest and motivation for learning in general (Monsang & Srikoon, 2021;Sirajudin & Suratno, 2021). This study presented similar findings as the interest and motivation in studying China's culture grew to 95% after training under the created cultural studies programme.…”

“…Investigadores estadounidenses propusieron la transformación del modelo de educación STEM en una red que abarque la comunicación y el intercambio entre universidades (Santangelo et al, 2021). Asimismo, el estudio de las materias incluidas en el modelo educativo STEM contribuye al desarrollo del pensamiento creativo a través de un enfoque interdisciplinar, incrementando al mismo tiempo el interés y la motivación por el aprendizaje en general (Monsang & Srikoon, 2021;Sirajudin & Suratno, 2021). En este estudio se obtienen resultados similares, puesto que el interés y la motivación por el estudio de la cultura china se incrementaron hasta un 95% tras la formación con el programa de estudios culturales desarrollado.…”

The role of STEM Education in improving the quality of education: a bibliometric study

“…In addition, Sumirat (2019) argued, "the awareness toward the importance of STEM could be one of the solutions to enhance educational quality". The STEM education approach also affects students' creative thinking skills which affects the quality of education as well (Monsang & Srikoon, 2021). Over the past decade, STEM education for students has received increased attention, with calls for both a greater emphasis on these fields and improvements in the quality of curricula and instruction (Wahono & Chang, 2019).…”
