Method of using sTEAM materials to teach for Matter and Energy topic of Science Subject 4 (2018) in primary school, Ho Chi Minh City

Abstract

In primary school, the application of STEAM in teaching Science has many advantages because teachers are comprehensively trained in the fields of natural sciences and arts. In fact, the biggest difficulty for primary teachers when applying STEAM education is the source of STEAM education materials that are suitable for topics and how to use learning materials to design teaching activities effectively. Therefore, teaching materials on the topic of Matter, Energy in Science subject 4 were developed, including 09 STEAM products and 09 illustrated lesson plans using STEAM products. The results of a pedagogical test with 30 teachers show that the designed STEAM products are effective and feasible in implementing teaching in practice. The STEAM products with implementation suggestions in illustrated lesson plans will provide rich learning resources, help teachers easily implement in practice, and contribute to realizing the goals of the Science program (2018) in primary school.
